The Great SDMB Movie Poll - Round 2A Winners Bracket
The Great SDMB Movie Poll - Round 1 The Great 128 [voting in this round closed]
2

There are many fewer pairs in this matchup that i can vote in than in the other.

3

That makes sense. Many of these lost the first poll because not everybody had seen or heard of them.

4

Yep. In this poll I’d seen both films in maybe 12 cases. In several of those cases I couldn’t remember the films well enough to choose. In several more the films were too close to call (and not strong enough contenders to think about at length).

5

Yep, I was surprised how many I couldn’t actually vote on…

6

The criteria are fairly subjective for everyone, but my own guideline with 2 films I haven’t seen is simply, which one would I rather see (and my watchlist has grown as a result). A lot of the ones I haven’t seen, I have at least heard of and there is usually a reason I haven’t seen it (e.g. Return of the Living Dead).
