Predator baby! Still crazy to think Van Damme was going to be in the Suit for The Predator and because people weren't going to see his face I'm out.

Truman Show is legit one of my favorite movies of all time, the concept is just so fucking cool lmao Jim Carrey was perfect as well as Ed Harris in it. Loved Predator a lot too so this matchup sucks but it's Truman Show for me

 

[Wolverine]

Tough choice to make, but I have to go with Predator. Solid cast, lots of action, an instant sci-fi classic.

 

[Jimmy King]

Both solid films but I’m going with Truman Show. I need to rewatch it it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it but I do really like it.

 

[Marty McFourth]

Pretty hard choice but Truman Show grabbed me a bit more. The storyline was very engrossing and made you think a lot. Predator is fun shit.

I enjoy The Predator, but this isn't even close for me. Truman Show is a masterpiece.
