AndyHome 11-16-04 05:04 PM

also state your age and gender... I think age and gender do affect preference significantly

Rammsteinfan 11-16-04 05:05 PM

Neither, it's a tie.

Andy has "movie x" because Andy likes it. Kate has "movie y" because Kate likes it. There is no better, it's a matter of personal taste.

AndyHome 11-16-04 05:09 PM

signs is crap :P

JohnnyZhivago

...its a poll... state your personal taste

RobCA 11-16-04 05:13 PM

Anyone who has Donnie Darko and Fight Club automatically wins. :up:

Rob

Rammsteinfan 11-16-04 05:18 PM

PF, RD and Shawshank are must owns for any collection.

OldBoy 11-16-04 05:18 PM

this is a horrible thread and you's DVD Talkers should not condone this!!

DrGerbil 11-16-04 05:32 PM

Andy's has more movies i'd actually watch (some of which, I own). But Dr. Zhivago is right, it's all a matter of taste....

matome 11-16-04 05:39 PM

Andy by far, though I have to give props to Kate for POTC and Beetlejuice.

OldBoy 11-16-04 05:49 PM

See, this is why I call you a noob. There is much better ways to thread crap a thread in a subtle way. D for presentation, F for effort and A for spelling your name right.


As for your collections andy. I think hers fits a more female view. While I don't like all the movies on her list, hers seem more well rounded. Yours looks to lean to much to the QT side of things. There is more things in life other than Miramax films you know.

Who ever wins, we all lose.

POTC = Pirates of The Caribbean
TPOTC = <b>The</b> Passion of The Christ

PopcornTreeCt 11-16-04 06:42 PM

I voted for Kate's collection because she is Michael Moore-free.

jessebo 11-16-04 07:02 PM

Actually, Andy has more Y movies and Kate has more X movies.

squaresoft7 11-16-04 10:06 PM

i want my .20 secs back, neither wins cause neither has a "collection" thats more of an assortment.

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.

but it feels so right. ;) :p

Hey, atleast I acknowledge you. ;)

GMLSKIS 11-17-04 12:37 AM

Kate has twice as many that I own also so my vote is for Kate.

Dabaomb 11-17-04 12:42 AM

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.

emhello 11-17-04 12:59 AM

No one likes One Hour Photo???

Tarantino 11-17-04 01:19 AM

Andy loses because he actually posted this.

Kate wins.
