When Harry Met Sally vs. Die Hard

Recommended Posts

Released a year apart from each other, one reinvented the romantic comedy for modern audiences and the other did the same for action movies. Both were critical and commercial hits which kicked off the careers of their respective stars. And both prominently feature Christmas music.

 

Which one had the greater influence? Which one is more rewatchable? Is it crazy to even compare the two?

That last one is totally unfair. Knife in the Water stands zero chance against Beverly Hills Chihuahua. This is like pitting Citizen Kane against a bowl of rice. A BOWL OF RICE WINS EVERY DAMN TIME.

ROOM vs THE ROOM vs FOUR ROOMS vs PANIC ROOM

 

They all feature the word ROOM in the title and were released within the same 20 year period.

Three Amigos versus Three Men and a Baby because they came out a year apart and are both about 3 men who get into a situation they are not prepared for.

Life During Wartime versus Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd because they are both sequels or prequels where the stars were replaced with different actors.

 

Or how about American Psycho versus American Psycho 2 because that makes about as much sense as even making that "sequel" in the first place?

Hmm. What about Three Amigos vs. Three Men vs. The Third Man? Numerology says it needs to be three, in this case, you know.

Good point. Of course that's also a movie about a man getting into a situation he is unprepared for.

Also, they are all movies, with people talking to each other.

The Walking Dead versus Breaking Bad. This would be great because just like the Walking Dead, Breaking Bad is not a movie.

Devin is racist against tigers so I'm pretty sure how that would play out.

We restored Au hasard Balthazar to technicolor???

It's probably that Michael-Bay-produced 3d-remake everybody is talking about.

I know that's a joke, but I would pay so much money to see Michael Bay remake Au hasard Balthazar. Can you imagine what his take on human suffering and self-sabotage would look like? Plus, his actor work is cut out for him. All he has to do to make people miserable for the film is to show them his movies one after another.

BACK TO THE FUTURE vs AMERICAN PSYCHO - It's time to go back in time to when it was hip to be square. I can't wait for the news on which wins!

 

SUNSET BLVD vs LA CONFIDENTIAL - Who said dead men tell no tales?

 

SLEEPING DOGS LIE vs ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN - A battle between a dog figuratively or literally going to heaven.

 

BLUE VELVET vs POLYESTER - Which fabric flick shall reign supreme?

 

IMMORTAL BELOVED vs BEETHOVEN

I would've gone with AMADEUS vs BEETHOVEN.
