Well, Empire snuck past Fight Club with a last minute tie-breaker, with Young Frankenstein ("That's steen! Frankensteen!") just a vote behind that.
For anybody coming in late, here's the deal: I made a giant list of films with geek appeal, drawn from
IMDB's top rated 250 movies, and their list of best SF, horror, and fantasy films. I added in a few I hear discussed a lot, either among my friends on on the board here. The winner of each week's poll gets moved forward, and faces four new films picked at random from my list. We've gone through over half the films in the list, but still have 50 more to go.
If a film wins 4 times in a row, it gets retired. In theory - this hasn't happened yet. In case of ties, both films face off again the next week, along with new movies.
