Nostalgia wins over Interstellar for me. But it's close. If I'm talking on a personal level, I'm gonna opt to rewatch The Matrix over Interstellar. I don't think the latter is very rewatchable and is definitely the best on your first viewing.

Matrix just has too many good scenes that stand the test of time.

Yeah was pretty close for me, both were high on my list. Went with Matrix tho

Still don't understand how Matrix is still in this competition, but having seen Interstellar since this all started it get my vote

 

[Lady Redfield]

The Matrix

Still not seen Interstellar so won't vote. Could see The Matrix as a dark horse to win this thing.

20 years on and we are all still wondering if we really are in the Matrix... If that doesn't show the impact The Matrix had I don't know what will...
