A Christmas Story

Beetlejuice

Xmas is the way to go!!!!

"Sandworms. You hate 'em right?"

BEETLEJUICE

Another movie that I feel advanced too far in this tournament might be going down but it's still early.

This is terrible. Two of my favorites! :o

I gotta think.

Never got the lovelove for Beetlejuice. It was ok. But A Christmas Story is an all-time classic.

100% agree - but we are in a voting minority.

Mae!?!?!?!?! :panic: :panic: :panic:

These are 2 of the very few remaining films left that I actually really enjoy. Why did they have to get put up against each other. I vote that they both move forward and eliminate one of the other films in another group :lol:

Heather, I am so sorry! :cry: But it's not me, it's the damn math!

You mean apart from the fact that it's wildly entertaining, extremely creative, highly memorable, and features a director and lead actor at the peak of their powers?

Yeah, I wonder what people see in it :orely:

Decided to go with Beetlejuice.

While I prefer ACS, I agree, all of this is true.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to vote. I love both dearly, and want both to move on.

Beetlejuice

The poll has closed. Beetlejuice moves on and A Christmas Story is eliminated.

Woo Fucking Hoo. I liked ACS, but I liked Beetlejuice even more.
