Wizard of Oz.
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

Not sure if it's just Spotify but the last half an hour of this episode seems to be missing?
It is just Spotify. Try the Apple Podcasts app's version.

Knives Out vs Phantom of the Paradise
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!

Godfather by a mile
I’ve not seen either in over a decade, but I’m inclined to agree.

(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

Yeah she was a little dopey and miserable and confused for my liking. Especially with Aubrey RIGHT THERE.
Surely a Kristin Stewart-played character courting an Aubrey Plaza-played one is the definition of batting too far above one's weight.

Sound of Music. It's not even close.
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:
SpoilerI really dislike both.

Donovan's favourite film (just above Age of Ultron) vs a sub-par Disney film
Only one of them has the silly Nazi scientist...but only the other one has sexual harassment from squirrels.

For non-UK listeners or those not familiar with it, this what the episode description is homaging:

The Sword in the Stone vs The Amazing Spider-Man 2
(Incidentally, this is less a reflection of my own Flickchart than just a general question. ASM2 somehow ended up being the most controversially ranked film in the latest FCF, judging from the feedback)

The original. The live action film has a phenomenal cast, but if you strip it back/notice the credits, it's simply a 90s John Hughes film using the 101 Dalmations story. By which I mean adult antagonists consistently humiliated by children/animals. Does Cruella de Vil need to be dropped in a vat of molasses? Hardly. But that's the kind of thing you get in the Home Alone films, Dennis the Menace, Baby's Day Out....

My thoughts on the original will be in Episode 14, but I'm inclined to agree with both of you. That said, I'd love it be a covered if HAA! ever did a Glenn Close month. She chews the scenery like a starving shark that stumbled upon a whale carcass and she actually got herself covered in molasses and baked into a cake in its sequel, rather than having a stuntperson or CG double get subjected to it her place. Also, unlike most John Hughes I know of, there are no annoying teenagers.

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).
