    I voted Fury Road, but for me it was a tough choice. Seems in the early going there are more people dreaming of electric sheep.

    Toughest choice so far. Both great in their own right. Had to give a slight edge to Blade Runner in the end.

    Blade Runner is a solid sequel.

    Fury Road is the greatest action film ever made.

    This is the greatest movie tournament.

    I agree with all of this.

    Blade Runner is good, but Mad Max is a masterpiece.

    It's easily top 5, and you could make the case that it's probably No. 1

    Here are a couple outlets that have it in their top 5, a few of them have it at No. 1

    There are only a handful of films I'd accept someone putting at number 1 (at least from what I've seen) which would be Die Hard, T2, and Aliens.

    Matrix is one that could fill the #5 spot, but so many could. Avengers, I don't agree. I don't care for the first Avengers at all. Winter Soldier is the only MCU film I'd put in the top tier action films.

    BR 2049 was the last movie I got to see twice in the theaters and would have gone a third time. The set designs, costumes, everything about it is simply gorgeous. I hate it must bow out so soon.

    I'm holding off on my vote until I get a chance to watch Blade Runner 2049 again. I just got through watching all the Mad Max movies, in order. I had seen Mad Max: Fury Road twice before, and loved it, and this time was no different. It's truly a great action movie. However, the one time I saw Blade Runner 2049 (in the theater), I really loved that as well. I recall being extremely impressed. I have the DVD, so I need to watch it this weekend before I vote. Either way, both films deserve to move on, and it will be a tough vote for me.
