You Know Who

Superman (due ultimately to its greater historical importance/influence), The Mask (because it's fun and Watchmen is a surface-level adaptation of a deeply nuanced story and doesn't understand a lot of what makes it special), GMD (because it's awesome and Spider-Man 2 is deeply sexist; I was driving towards that point in our FCF episode but didn't get to state it), and Men in Black (because it's fun and doesn't overstay its welcome; while X2 is still one of the better X-Men films, it's also tainted by its director. Plus, the second half a lot duller and less tight than the first half, perhaps because of the some of the behind-the-scenes drama). Still not seen Hellraiser or The Thing, so

Love them both and am not even bothered by the Ewoks or the multiple endings (at least on the most recent viewings) but Return of the King. That said, there are two cut-related caveats: 1) A lot of the Lucas-mandated changes on the version of Jedi bieng streamed do hurt it to varying degrees. 2) I’ve only ever seen the barebones cut of Return of the King. I’m fine with the length of the theatrical cuts of the films, but I feel like the extended editions’ length would start to test my patience.

The Great Mouse Detective vs. The Muppet Christmas Carol

Prestige, Trousers, Phantasm (easily), and Spider-Verse. Haven't seen Eternal Sunshine or 30 Days, and haven't seen Pretty Woman or When Harry Met Sally for a nearly a decade -- for better or worse.

Close call, but Hardy’s Bane, Hathaway’s Catwoman, and the very ending give Rises the edge for me. V for Vendetta and Alien.

The Black Cauldron vs Pokémon: The First Movie

Never seen a John Carpenter film. I'm tempted to say Superman for the influence but I think Spider-Man just edges it out (particularly when you put Willem Dafoe into the equation).

Spider-Man, School of Rock, (never seen a Hellraiser but Phantasm's almost certainly better) Blade (I think...?), and Casino Royale (though it's a close one). Se7en and Return of the Joker (another close one).

What Will said. I still haven’t rewatched Dunkirk since preparing for that Flickchart episode and that the first one I watched for it, so I can’t comment on it either.

The Dark Knight

The Fox and the Hound vs. Ant-Man

Would characters like Sherlock Holmes, Robin Hood, Frankenstein's Monster, or Dracula be eligible for Flickchart Forum episodes (granted, you'd still have a lot to cover even if shaved the latter two down to English-language adaptations from key studios)?

The Rescuers vs. SpaceBalls

It is just Spotify. Try the Apple Podcasts app's version.

Knives Out, easily. That said, Phantom’s a lot of fun.

If your podcast is meant to explore actors’ ranges, then either Coming to America or The Nutty Professor is a must (just as Austin Powers was for Mike Myers). Unless you really want to cover Norbit…. By all accounts (including @dc20willsave’s, IIRC), he was brilliant in DreamGirls and was robbed at the Oscars that year. I caught about half of the first Beverly Hills Cop last year. Not only was it one of his first major roles, but he’s genuinely good and fairly restrained in it (or at least the parts I saw).

Yes! Please do more commentaries — cartoons, live-action shows (maybe something like the Quantum Leap pilot), movies…whatever. Don’t stop with this one!

The turning point is when they discover that they both have an Aunt Lucy.

I’ve not seen either in over a decade, but I’m inclined to agree. ‘The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977) vs. Paddington (2014)

It's coming back. (By Avatarverse, I mean the universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, not James Cameron's thing. I assumed "Benderverse" would make people think it was Futurama-related.)

In light of Channel 37's latest episode, what some of the worst directorial debuts in film history -- specifically from directors who went on do better things, rather than ones who were always terrible (e.g. Uwe Boll) or whose directorial career never amounted to much (Simon Kinburg's, most likely)? The only one I can think of at the moment is The Sword in the Sword (Wolfgang Reitherman), but I know there are more (apart from Wes Craven and one alluded to in the Best directorial debuts thread).

Robin Hood (1973) vs. Kick-Ass

Surely a Kristin Stewart-played character courting an Aubrey Plaza-played one is the definition of batting too far above one's weight.

Not for my Flickchart it wasn't. I love and grew up with both, but Sound of Music doesn't the same economy of storytelling (to paraphrase Tom) or as good a hot-to-miss ratio with its songs as Jungle Book (lest we forget The Lonely Goatherd). That said, Sound of Music has Christopher Plummer ripping up the Nazi flag and that's hard to beat. The Aristocats vs. Batman Returns Spoiler:
