Goonies is a better movie by far but I just can't consider that Science Fiction so I went with Avatar by default.

 

[Chris]

Yeah Avatar for me as well

 

[Jimmy King]

Goonies, easily.

 

[CakeWalker]

Honestly Goonies is one of my least favourite films of all time, that Avatar justs get an easy win

 

[Marty McFourth]

I don't really like Avatar at all but I can appreciate how important of a film it was. So I'll still vote for it here.

Snap! I can't believe how much I've been done here I don't like Avatar and the Goonies is much more better IMO. But its not Sci-fi, so I have to vote Avatar

Fuck Avatar, I hate that movie.

I can see the argument being adventure or fantasy I suppose

Keep it nice people. Besides Goonies isn't a sci-fi movie that's the point.
