Do not question the science that went into this calculation, it would be incomprehensible to any pedestrian scholar.

Yeah, yeah whatever. I've never seen what some of you might consider the best movies of all time. I'm more into joe-sixpack movies, but I HATE foolscreen. If there's no chance they'd ever try and make a video game or Happy Meal toys about a movie, I've probably never seen it.

wow tough crowd.

Remember that these 2 are still teenagers.

Andy has guy movies

Kate has girl movies.

I'm a guy so I like Andy's movies. If I was a girl, I'd probably like Kate's movies.

Plus, if you like your collection, who really cares what others think? The important thing is that you enjoy it.

With Michael Moore's presence, what would've been a runaway for Andy turns into a squeaker for him, since the only decent movies in Kate's collection were Pirates of the Caribean and Beetlejuice.

Poorly designed poll. You didn't include a "they are equally bad" option and a "they are equally great" option. I'd choose "they are equally bad" because, for one, I refuse to vote positively for a DVD collection that includes all three American Pie movies.

Sorry, that's just the way it is in my world.

Where's the "I dont like either collection" option?

Really, the only movie off both lists that I own is Pirates of the Caribbean, so I guess by default Kate wins - but it's like coming in first at the Special Olympics. Yes, you may have a gold medal, but youre still retarded.

(and I'm a 35 year old guy)
