The Fly rules.

I like 2001 as well but The Fly is so much fun, and Jeff Goldblum is great in it.

2001 for me

 

[CakeWalker]

2001 - although not a top 20 for me - is a true sci-fi film

 

[Marty McFourth]

Stanley Kubrick films are my jam.

One of my unpopluar but 2001's overrated! I find it boring! The Fly all the way for me! Great remake
