Monty Python and the Holy Grail   17 (53.1%)
The Lion King   15 (46.9%)


This match was pretty much a dead heat the whole time but Monty Python managed to pull away towards the end. Lion King was certainly a tough opponent but it's hard to see Monty Python taking down a movie like Empire Strikes Back if it almost lost today.

I've disliked every SW movie except the original in 1977.  And I loved Batman Begins.  Now, if you had mentioned some of the awful Batman movies with Val Kilmer or George Clooney...

Return of the Jedi was mediocre. I'll go with another movie in which a character played by Liam Niesson dies.

Correct.  And I voted for BB.  But that outfit sure made her look hot.  Clothes often make the woman...

ROTJ gets unfairly panned.  The scene in the sailbarge was excellent.  The entire space-battle side of the Battle of Endor was also great, as was the bit in Palpatine's throne room.

As for the battle sequences on the forest moon of Endor, well...if there's one positive, it's showing (just like ESB did) how ridiculously impractical a walking tank would be.  If the Empire really thought that AT-ATs and (especially) AT-STs were a good idea, it deserved to lose to teddy bears.

Excellent point.  Why do people insist on making robots with legs?  The only reason nature didn't give us wheels or tracks is because it couldn't.  Wheels and/or tracks work SO much better at most* things and are always easier to engineer.

A properly designed tracked AT-AT would be 95% as cool as the "walking" one we saw in ESB and would have made 195% more sense.



*the "insect" like robots can have some clear advantages over wheels or tracks, but with a lot of disadvantages as well (speed, complexity, maintenance)
