The Warriors may not be the 'greatest' movie of this group but it's my favorite. Sad they likely won't be asked to come out and play again next round.

I have a strong affinity for all three for very different reasons. Ultimately I had to go with Exorcist (iconic in every way) and President's Men (I love the newspaper genre, and all it's idealism at getting out the truth - something we need more of in journalism these days).

All the President's Men and The Warriors tied for second. Would love to avoid a tie here :panic:

Nice comeback by the Warriors! Wish I could multiply my vote like BMG music club memberships.

Yeah, but Woodward and Bernstein would probably catch you with the help of Deep Throat.
