The Dark Knight Rises vs Captain America: Civil War

Guardians of the Galaxy vs V for Vendetta

Alien vs Apocalypse Now

Network vs The Thing

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

V for Vendetta and Alien.

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.

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.

Blade vs Superman

Watchmen vs The Mask

The Great Mouse Detective vs Spider-Man 2

Men In Black vs X2

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
