All of these are heavy hitters/high watermarks in their respective genre. Tough group.

Toy Story 2 is going to take the hit here, mainly because people know the original is going to go fairly far.

Considering the group it's in, I wouldn't count on it. Comedies and cartoons/kid's movies don't seem to do well around here.

I really like TS2, but with 12M and TUS here, I just can't vote for it this time.

How in the world is There's Something About Mary leading TS2 by so much?

Sure the opening scene of that movie is a classic but the rest of the movie is pretty forgettable.

TSAM is a 90's staple. TS2 isn't even the best TS in the series.

TSAM was fantastic. I laughed so hard my face hurt. It may or may not have been the first "raunchy" movie but I loved it. TS2 is just fluff.
