I'm fine with either winning but Back to the Future definitely holds a more special place in my heart.

 

[Chris]

Yeah this was probably the hardest vote yet for me fuck this poll honestly but I voted Terminator

 

[CakeWalker]

T2 hands down here.

Not voting for Back to the Future is sus. Only voting in matches it is in. So, seems this is the end....but you losers suck.

Yeah I had to go BTTF as much as I love T2. The chemistry alone between Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox is worth my vote. I think both movies do really well to stand the test of time, though. They are still highly rewatchable. Movies today still struggle to really match them quality wise.

That whole BTTF Trilogy is probably one of my all time favorites. We did a watch along last year for all 3 movies, and was favorite movie watch along we did. I miss doing them because they are truly fun to do tho. But yeah, sadly it will lose here but I'm just happy it made it.

I've never understood the popularity behind BTTF at all.

Hey, I voted for BTTF

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Hey, I voted for BTTF

This is why you’re amazing

 

[Lethal]

Judgment Day is basically the anti-thesis to why not all sequels are shit. It's just absolutely fucking amazing, story telling, CGI, character development, action, catchphrases, it's beautiful. BTTF is also amazing in its own right.

That said, I'm afraid Marty McFly.......

(wrong film but it suits my post)

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Love both but I go back to watch Back to the Future much more so I'll vote for that.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Come on BTTF you can do it!!

 

[Lady Redfield]

Damn, 2 awesome movies, but, T2.

I love doing those and as much at BTTF holds a place in my heart T2 is just great.
