I suspect that's often related; I would be interested to see if that's the case with this pairing.
I can get the ball rolling: I'm 51 and went for TPB.
Eastasia has always taught college students to feel pride or shame according to their race.
Really shouldn't be doing that, these people have had a week to cast an actual vote. A stated vote to break a tie is one thing, actually casting a vote for someone that couldn't be bothered to do so is something else entirely.Actually, as I was going through each post in this thread for stated votes, another newbie commented with their preference but did not actually cast a vote:

A true reflection of actual votes cast would be 17 - 16 in favour of The Princess Bride. Unless of course, the members in question actually cast their vote before the poll closes.
Otherwise, I think their "proxy" vote should be voided.
56 - BC (my hypothesis is already in question - hahaha)I suspect that's often related; I would be interested to see if that's the case with this pairing.

Well, its a subtle difference, but I think it is more an issue of how old you were the first time (and maybe last time too) you saw it as opposed to how old you are now.56 - BC (my hypothesis is already in question - hahaha)I suspect that's often related; I would be interested to see if that's the case with this pairing.

For example I probably voted for Clash of Titans longer then it deserved based on how I felt about it when I first saw it, and I think this is a factor in Kris's love of Temple of Doom.
Wanted:
'Salem's Lot Portfolio #606
Fairy Tale UK S/L
Point taken, and obviously I have influenced my family. When I shared this thread, my wife and two teenage daughters said BC without hesitation. Maybe I should get them to join the website - hahaha!Well, its a subtle difference, but I think it is more an issue of how old you were the first time (and maybe last time too) you saw it as opposed to how old you are now.56 - BC (my hypothesis is already in question - hahaha)I suspect that's often related; I would be interested to see if that's the case with this pairing.

I understand your point but disagree. The new person explicitly asked if they can vote and since they're new they may not be aware of how that even works and you have to actually vote at the top, not by commenting. But this should be open to everyone. And the second newbie wasn't an explicit vote, so with that I would agree agree. I am still hopeful more votes are out there, however, to make this definitive.
BC FTW!!! IMHO...hehe
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
the princess bride!
~ Princess bride all the way ~
bah gawd what a race!
I quite agree, and thanks again for all you do with this. To quote my father, who ran our family fantasy football league until his passing, "My League, My Rules!" I support whatever you decide.
Went with Princess Bride. I love BC almost as much but I've seen PB more.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
If we need to state it now, I went with with BC.

The poll has closed. The Princess Bride moves on and The Breakfast Club is eliminated.
Oh another damn sad panda result.
I'll never be able to bring myself to understand this one, but, that's why we vote.
This was a fun one! And it really speaks to how movies affect people differently.
What they grew up being influenced by... crazy!

I honestly thought The Breakfast Club could go all the way...
Not always movies. Sometimes chemicals.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
I was thinking final four, along with Die Hard, Raiders, and Back to the Future.
