I still haven't seen Fight Club.
We'll wait.
It could be a long wait.  It could be years more.
I'm with stePH on this one.  I don't enjoy watching people hit each other, as a rule, and as cool as Pitt and Norton are... I just can't force myself to sit through it on purpose.

So, I had to go with BttF... please, don't hit me!  ;)

I had borrowed Fight Club from Wherethewild a little while ago.  When my wife saw it was beating Momento she said we should watch it.  I wasn't too sure, because I don't like watching hyped movies.  I was really good.  I think I would still vote with Momento, but I liked it. 

TAD:  There isn't as much punching as you would think.  There is a lot of the movie outside of the club.

What was the movie with the line about "I like little things... hitting each other!"  Was that Time Bandits?

I finally published my book - Tad's Happy Funtime is on Amazon!

I hate movies about people hitting each other too.  And resisted watching Fight Club for years for that reason.

But that's really not what the movie is about, or even something that gets much screen time.  Watch it!

Interesting that the Presumptive winner never actually won in the original poll.  And it's going up against a movie that one three weeks in a row (BttF).  But Fight Club did come within one vote of tying Empire Strikes Back.  And nothing ever beat that movie.

Maybe they'll face each other again in the semi-finals, but this time just the two of them without the other films drawing off votes.

I have to admit, I'm a little surprised it beat out Nightmare Before Christmas and Back to the Future.  Pleased, but surprised.
