The Big Lebowski vs. Fargo

Here’s a battle of the Coen brothers with the cult classic’s The Big Lebowski going against Fargo.  So many great lines and scenes in both of these movies that it’s nearly impossible to pick a winner.  If you have a favorite scene or quote, post it below after you vote.

The Big Lebowski - When “The Dude” Lebowski is mistaken for a millionaire Lebowski, two thugs urinate on his rug to coerce him into paying a debt he knows nothing about. While attempting to gain recompense for the ruined rug from his wealthy counterpart, he accepts a one-time job with high pay-off. He enlists the help of his bowling buddy, Walter, a gun-toting Jewish-convert with anger issues. Deception leads to more trouble, and it soon seems that everyone from porn empire tycoons to nihilists want something from The Dude.

vs.

Fargo - Jerry Lundegaard is in a financial jam and, out of desperation, comes up with a plan to hire someone to kidnap his wife and demand ransom from her wealthy father, to be secretly split between Jerry and the perpetrators. Jerry, who is not the most astute of individuals, hires a couple of real losers from the frozen northern reaches of Fargo, North Dakota for the job. Then things begin to slip from bad to worse as Jerry helplessly watches on.

Napoleon Dynamite vs. Anchorman

Napoleon versus Ron Burgandy..now that’s a match up.  Sure Napoleon has his wannabe mixed martial arts expert, hip hop brother Kip and the school predsident elect Pedro on his crew, but Ron Burgandy enjoys poetry & a nice glass of scotch.  Plus he plays jazz flute, which is NOT FOR LITTLE SISSY BOYS by the way.  Add in that Anchor man boasts some of the finest cameos in movie history (Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn  & Tim Robbins to name just a few) and this means you’ve got one hell of a film fight.  Whoever posts the best quote from either of these flicks is going to win the DVD’s..so get cracking.

This film fight has so many illicit drugs, it should be illegal.  But until we get shut down, you can vote for your favorite.   Great performances by Johnny Depp as George Jung and Benicio Del Torrow as a drug fighting Mexican police officer in Traffic.

Deep Impact vs. Armageddon

It’s the end of the world as we know it..so it’s time for a film fight.  Asteroids, nuclear weapons, mass hysteria & destruction, and Bruce Willis…now that’s what we call a quality movie. These two flicks just beg to be matched against each other.  If you remember correctly, they both came out within a few months of each other, but it’s never really been determined which movie was the better film.  Well now’s the time to settle it once and for all.

Deep Impact - Unless a comet can be destroyed before colliding with Earth, only those allowed into shelters will survive. Which people will survive? It’s up to a courageous team of astronauts to save the world..do they have what it takes?

Top Gun vs. Iron Eagle

It’s a high flying film fight with the favorite Top Gun matched against dog fighting sensation Iron Eagle.  Ok, we already know what your thinking…How in the world could Iron Eagle compete with the glory that is ‘Top Gun’…but there are some loyal Iron Eagle / Louis Gossett Jr. fans out there and this should be a great match up.  Yeah TG has Mr. Cruise and Val Kilmer, but how can you beat Doug Masters rockin his tunes at 30,000 feet in a stolen F-16 fighter jet?

Commando vs. Rambo: First Blood

How can you even pick between these two blockbuster action flicks? Arnold & Stallone were the action 80’s action junke hero’s, so trying to pick one as a winner just comes down to personal taste.  Let’s face it, Commando does have young Alyssa Milano & Rae Dawn Chong supporting, but First Blood gets help from Brian Dennehy and Richard Crenna.  So which is the better action flick?
