SCROOGED

I'm a Bill Murray mark

 

[Chris]

Didn't have either on my list but love both and this was tough lol went Batman and it might be mostly for Danny DeVito

 

[Moon Bird]

That batman thumbnail though...

 

[Keith]

This is a surprise! I thought it'd be close at least. I grew up with both. Returns I have a soft spot for, but its more a guilty pleasure. Scrooged is a classic which holds up. Murray has rarely been better cast.

Wow Scrooged is my go to Christmas movie…and this Batman isn’t a good one

 

[Deezy]

The shitty Batman with the lecherous Penguin is winning?

This is why democracy is failing.

 

[Comrade Khan]

How is batman return not a good one? It's directed by Tim Burton and has Michelle Pfifer , Christopher Walken and Danny di Vito. Lies and slander!

 

[Jimmy King]

Both great movies but I’m going with Batman Returns. It was my favorite Batman movie as a kid (until I saw Batman Forever), and it still holds up for me.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Never really watched either. But voted Batman to watch the world burn
