(5) Raiders of the Lost Ark


(12) A Fish Called Wanda

[Willets Point]

This may be the hardest vote for me yet. I love both of these movies.

[soupcan]

Went with 'Fish'.

LOVE that movie.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I loved Raiders, so I voted for it.

I don't think I ever saw Fish.

[Fman99]

Raiders.

I've always had a thing for Karen Allen. Plus "Fish" never did much for me to be honest.

[Guest themetfairy]

I know Raiders is a classic, but I liked Fish much more. John Cleese rules!

[Guest sharpie]

Fish all the way.

[dgwphotography]

Raiders is a classic. Fish - not so much.

[metirish]

Liked both but Raiders is the winner for me.

[Frayed Knot]

Toughest choice on the board -- went with Raiders based on the sheer scope of it's return to action/adventure bigness.

[Methead]

Oh no! It's K-K-K-Ken, c-c-c-coming to k-k-k-kill me!

[Theoldmole]

Both good, but there was nothing like Fish.

[Willets Point]

Don't call me stupid!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

It's hard to go against John Cleese and Jaime Lee Curtis, but I gave the nod to Indiana Jones and his lost ark.

[Vic Sage]

FISH is a great throwback to those wonderful Ealing Studio comedies of the 40s-50s with Alec Guiness. It's clever and well done, with great cast and script.

But FISH is to INDIANA JONES as a drizzle is to a thunder-storm.

[Guest cooby]

To this day I can't figure out why I wasted an evening many years ago watching A Fish Called Wanda. Dumb.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I really struggled with this one too.

I don't think either has aged all that well -- it is easier to choose if that's not the case -- so I went with my initial impression.

'Fish' made me laugh pretty hard; but only Indy knocked my socks off, especially the first 20 minutes.

[Guest AG/DC]

Cruelty to animals is not funny and bleeds into the way I feel about the rest.

[soupcan]

There was animal cruelty in 'Fish'?

Do you mean when Otto put the fish in his mouth?

Really?

[Guest AG/DC]

Animals were killed left and right for laughs in that film. Not just the fish but three dogs, all to make for laughter at super-sensitive Ken's expense.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

23-8 Raiders

[Guest AG/DC]

It's like the 1981 AFC Championship.
