Personally I never enjoyed BttF, but I will not be surprised if it walk away with the W.

This is another terrible match-up for Star Wars movie bc I really love episode 3 (probably overrate it just for the volcano scene but whatevs), but it's no contest for Back to the Future here lol it'll probably go pretty far

Revenge of the Sith is the best of the prequels, I enjoy it a lot.

Back to the Future is literally my most rewatched movie though. Any other movie and I might have picked Star Wars here.

Not a big Star Wars guy and those prequel movies were terrible. Revenge of the Sith maybe the best, but that's like saying there's a part of the toilet which stinks a bit less Back to the Future I can see making the final and it would be well deserved. Still a classic.
