1. Franchot - This was easier than I thought it would be! jfront has an excellant collection of really fun movies. I like Fellowship, Se7en, Brotherhood and especially Die Hard. Those really stood out, but I like nearly everything else. Still, Franchot has some awesome movies that have stood the test of time. Casablance, Cuckoo's Nest, Treasure, Schindler, North by Northwest. These are more than just "fun" movies, they're classic!

2. RyoHazuki - Again, ryuryu2949 has some fun movies (although I wouldn't put this up against either from the first group). I'm not entirely impressed with RyoHazuki's collection either. But Band of Brothers was the deciding factor (and a little Good, Bad, Ugly). If I had to liquidate all but one item from my collection, Band of Brothers would be the one I held on to.

3. dollfins1 - As I stated last round, dollfins1 has the most solid collection I've seen. There's not one item that I would want to own (if I don't already). Nothing that stands out as awesome, but a very, very solid collection. And yet... Cleaver has an almost equally solid collection. But in the end, I'd take Alien over Godfather, Star Trek TOS over Star Trek Next Gen, and so on.

4. slop101 - Much easier this time. William Fudd has a nice collection there and there's a few that I should really put on my wishlist. But beyond Singin' in the Rain, nothing really stands out. slop101 on the other hand has Brazil (another favorite), Kane, Kwai, Deadwood and Bambi. No contest.

1. Franchot-another tough call. I like both lists equally well, so I let the one pick that I did'nt like in each collection be the deciding factor(Royal Tenenbaums is a bigger turd that The Sound of Music, IMO).
2. RyoHazuki-another equal match-up. I went with RyoHazuki because TGTB&TU is one of my all time favorite movies and the DVD itself is great.
3. dollfins1-this one came down to the TV pick and James T. Kirk will be the only true Captain of the Enterprise for me.
4. slop101-Goodfellas, Dr. Strangelove and Citizen Kane was too much for Fuld's collection to overcome.

Good luck to all.:)

1. Franchot Once again I was forced to vote for myself because of my opponent's strong list (and my trailing in the polls.) The only thing I've never seen on his list is "Taken", so I'll have to check it out. I put "The Sound Of Music" on my list to add a little musical balance. It seems to be backfiring on me. "The Sound Of Music" is not my favorite musical, nor one of my favorite films for that matter, but as far as musicals go, it's pretty damn fine. (I've never understood some people's hate for this film. It's not "Xanadu" or "Lost Horizon" for pity's sake. I think my "Sound Of Music" pick is turning into the Dan Quayle for my team.)

2. For the next match-up, ryuryu2949 had too many films that I consider overrated ("Shawshank", "Usual Suspects", half the "Back To The Future" trilogy (although I own all these films myself). I went with RyoHazuki because he has two heavy hitters I really like amongst many fine films: "Rules Of The Game" and "Schindler's List" (with the latter being on my own team in another version.)

3. Although I'm a super "Godfather" and "Terminator 2" fan, I'm an equal "Rushmore" disliker. (Anywhere "The Godfather I & II" show up would normally get my vote, but there are just too many wonderful films on dollfins1's team to dismiss, (although I think that "Jurassic Park" and "ET" are weak Speilberg films.) How about I make it a tie. No ties? Okay. Forgive me, Godfather, but I'm siding with the dollfins1 family.

4. In the final match-up there are so many I like on both teams, but in the end "Citizen Kane", "Goodfellas", "Dr. Strangelove", and a film by my favorite director, Robert Altman, just can't be beat. slop101

1. Franchot - As in Round 2, Franchot's collection is easily one of my two favorite in this competition. Great mix of great discs.

2. RyoHazuki - Rules of the Game, Eraserhead, Yakuza papers. I like this collection a lot.

3. dollfins1 - Neither of these collections really "do it" for me, but I know I'm in the minority. That said, WSS:SE and Great Escape seal the win for dollfins1.

4. slop101 - This one was VERY, VERY hard for me to pick. Both have very excellent collections, but slop with the minor edge for me.

1. Franchot - can't beat those classics

2. RyoHazuki - lots of bonus points for Eraserhead

3. dollfins1 - this one was tougher. It's hard to vote against The Godfather Trilogy & I love that cleaver lists just Die Hard & not the sequels, but somehow putting the original Star Trek in dollfins1's line-up puts it on top (& I'm not even really a fan of the show)

4. William Fuld - I'd love to call this a tie. Really difficult choice; almost a coin flip.

Ok, time to defend my collection against RyoHazuki.

Ryohazuki has a great collection, but one telling statistic will illustrate why mine is a notch better.

The number of IMDB Top 60 titles in RyoHazuki's collection: 3 (Schindler's List #6, Good Bad Ugly #10, To Kill a Mockingbird #40).

The number of RYURYU2949's in IMDB top 60: 5!!! (Shawshank Redemption, #2; LOTR: TT, #14; The Usual Suspects, #19; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, #32; Rashomon, #54.).

Amazingly, when you look at the entire IMDB top 200, only the 3 titles mentioned above from RyoHazuki's list make the cut. I get my 5 mentioned above, plus Unfrogiven (#130), The Deer Hunter (#133), Back to the Future (#136).

So again, 8 of my titles in the top 200, only 3 of ryohazuki's.

The question I ask of all of you is this: if you were stuck on a desert island, which collection would you choose?

Undoubtedly, Ryohazuki has many fine films, but I think mine have more "rewatchability," something that is very important. How many times can one watch Eraserhead, Schindler's List, To Kill a Mockingbird, or the Yakuza Papers (what IS that one anyway???). In contrast, I would say Eternal Sunshine, The Usual Suspects, The Shawshank Redemption, and Back to the Future are all movies we keep coming back to watch over and over.

Ryohazuki, this is not meant to say anything bad about your movies--they are excellent. Best of luck to you this round.

Many, many, many times. And that is not even enough.

To each their own. I watched it once, found good, but not great, and that was enough for me.
