jfrost, for me your collection here gives quite a wide range of variety, not that slop101's doesnt. slop101 has some great titles but a few I personally dont care for.
It's been fun, good luck.

The strength of Brazil, Citizen Kane, Goodfellas and Dr. Strangelove tipped the scales for me.
This was a fun game. let's do it again some time!

I chose jfrost. While I love Citizen Kane and Goodfellas, Bambi, Deadwood, and Dr. Strangelove just don't do it for me. The highs in Slop's collection are higher, but I found jfrost's collection to be more consistent top-to-bottom.

Neither collection does much for me, but slop101's is obviously better. jfrost's choices reflect the tastes of a cool middle-schooler--the only film more than 7-8 years old is Die Hard!

slop101 gets my vote rather easily.
In the earlier rounds, it's a close contest. I think jfrost did a lot with his early picks. However, in the later rounds, the collection falls apart (in my eyes, at least). I won't match them up by genre like some have before me, because I don't think Bambi and Spirited Away, or Die Hard and Led Zeppelin, or Se7en and Citizen Kane...are similar enough to make that worthwhile. Instead, I'll just judge based on what each person did with their available picks for that round.
Pick by pick:
1. Fellowship of the Ring EE vs. Brazil CC - jfrost (barely)
2. Se7en Platinum vs. Citizen Kane - slop101
3. Gladiator (EE) vs. Led Zeppelin DVD - Push
4. Memento LE vs. Goodfellas 2-disc - jfrost (barely)
5. Die Hard Trilogy vs. Bridge on the River Kwai 2-disc - slop101
6. Panic Room 3 disc SE vs. Life Aquatic CC - slop101
7. Taken (TV) vs Deadwood Season 1 (TV) - slop101
8. Brotherhood of the Wolf CE vs Dr. Strangelove AE - slop101
9. Royal Tenenbaums CC vs Bambi 2-disc - slop101
10. Spirited Away vs. Short Cuts - slop101
Results: slop101 (7), jfrost (2), one push.

It's getting closer, so I'm gonna make one final case for my collection -
If you look at my 10 picks, you'll see that I went for a wide variety of titles: drama, comedy, action, music, war, gangster, western, animation (just about the only thing missing is horror and foreign). I've also made an effort to represent every decade from the '40s on up to now. Not only are the actual programs on my dvd picks of the highest calibur, but all of their technical aspects (audio/video) and extras are all beyond reproach.
Thank you for reading and vote slop!
