Psycho 1960 vs The Thing 1982
 
Among my two favorite movies ever. Vote for which one you think is the better movie.

While I personally find The Thing (1982) to be more entertaining, Psycho is the BETTER movie of the two.

I have to go with the Thing. More interesting subject matter, and timeless practical effects (w/ the exception of maybe some stop-motion stuff)

Groucho 03-19-08 04:25 PM

I've not seen either one, but I'll go with The Thing because it's in color.

The Thing; I always though Psycho was overrated. Probably because of all the crappy thrillers that copied it.

Even though the Thing was a remake I think it stands as one of the better horror movies ever made.

The Thing, easily

JPRaup 03-19-08 04:47 PM

Psycho by far

dick_grayson 03-19-08 04:50 PM

better made movie? Psycho? at the moment, I prefer The Thing. apples and oranges poll, by the way....even though I voted.

Ronnie Dobbs 03-19-08 05:25 PM

both are good

Matthew Ackerly 03-19-08 05:37 PM

Love both.

What does one have to do with the other?

JumpCutz 03-19-08 07:18 PM

Psycho by a light year...and I love The Thing.

Mr. Cinema 03-19-08 07:34 PM

Absolutely love The Thing, but Psycho is better.

PopcornTreeCt 03-19-08 07:54 PM

No comparison. Neither one has anything to do with other. I'd vote for The Thing if the question was: Which remake was better?

Mondo Kane 03-19-08 07:58 PM

Psycho is better but I like The Thing better

mikelowry 03-19-08 08:14 PM

Both are great but if I have to choose one it's gonna be Psycho.

KYDR_chris 03-19-08 08:25 PM

I wouldn't choose between the two; they're nothing alike. And I don't have to choose. I own both.

So should everyone else.

Psycho

I, for one, can't wait for a Cannibal Holocaust vs. Singin' in the Rain thread and see where people's loyalties lie.

The Antipodean 03-19-08 08:33 PM

Other than being horror movies, they're totally different, and both great movies IMHO. Polls needs a "like them both" option, no need to be absolute.

Psycho

clappj 03-19-08 08:50 PM

Apples vs. Oranges...Discuss.

Oranges have a better flavor but you don't have to peel apples.

why do they have to be alike to have a poll? It's only asking what's the better movie, not a detailed comparison of each.

Giggles 03-20-08 04:12 AM

What's better - Terminator or Dirty Dancing?

Chew 03-20-08 06:58 AM

Hitch is my favorite director, the choice is easy for me.

JANK 03-20-08 07:23 AM

Stupid poll - makes no sense or offers intrinsic value. Better to compare Apples & Oranges!
