Poltergeist

Empire all day ERRR DAY

Quite clearly The Empire Strikes Back.

EMPIRE.

I'm not quite sure how Potergeist made it this far. Good movie, but top 16?

I totally agree with you - think of The Breakfast Club not being here. It's a crime!

Poltergeist

...as I wish.

The Empire Strikes Back

This is the only poll of the first four posted that I really had to think about. The other three were no-brainers, but this one is a toughie. But eventually decided on The Empire Strikes Back.

Obviously Poltergeist. Never been a Star Wars fan.

Poltergeist
Yes. I wasted my vote.

I suppose I expected that a Star Wars movie would take down Poltergeist, but not this one-sided.

Any film going up against Empire is going to have a tough time tbh.

Empire of course

The poll has closed. The Empire Strikes Back moves on and Poltergeist is eliminated.
