tough choice for me...

Streetcar, no question.

Saw Ben-hur on the big screen for the first time last year and it is stunning that way. TV screens don't do it justice.

Ben-Hur as I love the scope of epics.

Funny note, this is one of the widest movies ever filmed versus one that's square (Academy ratio).

Streetcar for me

Ben-hur stated vote.

Tied at 9 :panic:
