    Mel Gibson can go to hell.  That's why this movie gets my vote.
    Yeah, present day Mel sucks. Anything post 2000 I'd gladly vote down, but this is his one movie where he wasn't that person yet and the movie is awesome. I love me some post-apocalyptic action.

    Certainly know it won't make the finals, but should have survived this round.

    No hate here, but it's too new and doesn't get the nostalgia the rest of them do. Every other movie left I have probably watched at least 5 times except GFII. I really enjoy Captain and would watch it again before a few on here because it's a fun action movie, but it isn't better than them IMHO.

    THE GODFATHER, PART II

    I voted for Godfather 2 here, despite not seeing all of the other movies, and thinking it's better than Last Crusade and The Dark Knight. But I've always been sort of anti-Godfather 2. Here's my rant...

    -Well first off it's a 6-hour movie. Oh, it's "only" three and a half hours? Well it feels like 6 hours.

    -I really like the prequel segments, but there's not enough of it. I think the prequel segments take up only about 40 minutes, while the present-day segments take up the other five hours and twenty minutes (I mean two hours and forty minutes). I wish the movie was more balanced. Every time I start to get invested in the prequel segments, we have to go back to the present so Michael can have a boring conversation with the senator, or a boring conversation with Connie and her new husband, or a boring conversation with Frank Pentangeli, or a boring conversation with Hyman Roth, or a boring conversation with Fredo. THE WHOLE MOVIE IS JUST BORING CONVERSATIONS!!!

    -I said I like the prequel segments but there should've been more. Like, how did Vito become so powerful? Okay, he kills Don Fanucci so that's how he got power. How much power? Well he's so powerful that he could....umm....convince a landlord to let a widow stay in her apartment? That's it? Mind you, the scene of the landlord stopping by and apologizing is one of my favorite scenes in either movie (I don't acknowledge Godfather 3). But that's it? Why not have a scene that shows actual mafia-stuff? They show a young Tessio and young Clemenza (great casting there by the way, as they do look like younger versions of Vigoda and Castellano). But why not show how Vito puts them in charge of certain territories and what they do? No, all we get is him and Clemenza stealing a freaking rug. How exciting. And how was there not a scene of a young Sonny finding a young Tom Hagen in the street? You don't even have to say it. Just show young Sonny coming across a lone kid in the street. People would get it. 

    -Did I mention how boring MIchael is and how I don't understand how anyone can give a fuck about his character in this movie? The first movie? Yeah, he's interesting. Here? Just soooooooooo boring.

    "That's the way Coppola wanted it." 

    WELL IT AIN'T THE WAY I WANTED IT! I CAN EDIT THIS MOVIE DOWN TO TWO AND A HALF HOURS! I CAN HANDLE IT! I'M SMAWT!!!
    I know you said you don't acknowledge GFIII, but the trend with Michael getting more boring really hit it's peak in that one. I still think it's a great movie though (GFII, not GFIII, that one's dogshit). I haven't seen it in about 2 decades though so maybe I should revisit that when I have an extended weekend and can devote 6 hours to watching it :wink:
    It’s worth a rewatch if you haven’t seen it in a while. I nitpick the hell out of it, but it’s only because I’ve seen it several times and do love The Godfather in general.

    Speaking of the scene in Road Warrior with the tanker truck, it seems to be a theme among several movies that a semi truck gets involved in a chase and does lots of damage; T2 and Dark Knight as well. I don't know if this is the case, but was that scene in Road Warrior one of the first of it's kind and later influence the other 2 movies?

    I don’t mind Duel. I wouldn’t say that I enjoy it, but I don’t mind it.

    Oh please. What an obnoxious gif. 

    Please point to where anyone ever said that CA:TWS is purely a political thriller. No. It has political thriller themes weaved into the Marvel style.

    Might even be worse! That said, I haven't given either of these a fair shake as an adult, so....I guess there's that.

    Star Wars is good for giving me an opportunity to make fun of the Stars Wars fan boys. Lmao

    Just to be clear, I am supposed to be choosing the weakest link, that is the one that I think is rubbish right?
