Batman Begins is better

Yes, I had the map room toy and action figure as a little Yella Piss.

Indiana Jones overrated

#8 The Dark Knight

Terrible choices. Dark Knight is objectively better made film.

I almost voted for TDK. Christopher Nolan's Batman universe > Indyverse, but Raiders is the best movie of the 7.

#8 The Dark Knight

I’ve seen TDK many times, and still to this day Heath Ledger’s performance blows me away. Harvey Dent’s descent into madness made more sense in 2 hours than Khalesi’s did over many seasons of Game of Thrones.

Raiders is a fun classic, but it doesn’t pack the same dramatic punch that TDK does

I tried making a Staff of Ra out of stick and broken of piece of translucent siding. Might still be spent 12ga shell buried in my friend's backyard where the 8:30am sun strikes.

I loved Dark Knight, but it had lots of plot holes and needed some serious editing.

Dark Knight is a stop changing the channel and watch from whenever you pick it up movie

Indiana Jones isn’t

Perhaps the only film that is flawless from first frame to last.

I liked the batman before Dark Night better.

Raiders has been with me as an action/adventure favorite since I saw it new, back to back with Gremlins. Thus was the single greatest day at the cinema ever, at least at age 10 or 12 or whatever i was.

You are confusing Raiders with Temple. Gremlins was 1984. Raiders 1981

Temple is amazing too though so it's ok.

The Dark Knight is probably my all time favorite film.

However, that's not the only thing that goes into this vote. On pure rewatchability, Raiders probably takes the cake.

Raiders is essentially flawless to my eyes. I prefer the Dark Knight, but I can't in good conscience vote against Raiders. It's brilliant at every stage.

Huh. When I was a girl I ran a lemonade stand in my front yard. I then would challenge the neighborhood children to drinking contests in an effort to channel my inner Marion Ravenwood.



My mother put a stop to it after I completely depleted the freezer of Minute Maid.

Damn you're right of course. Well that sure diminishes that day a bit. Still, Gremlins was awesome.

I’ve gotten gum stuck on my shoes that was more interesting than ROTLA. Dark Knight sucks, but ROTLA is boring, corny and stupid.

I now see why @Swaye has a restraining order in place - @Doog_de_Jour is a cross between Cathererine Deneuve and Karen Allen.....
