When Harry Met Sally vs. Die Hard

[GregSaunders 0]

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?

DW Griffith's Intolerance vs Herbie the Love Bug Rides Again

 

North By Northwest vs Hellraiser 2

 

Knife In The Water vs Beverly Hills Chihuahua

[HoldenMartinson 221]

DW Griffith's Intolerance vs Herbie the Love Bug Rides Again

 

North By Northwest vs Hellraiser 2

 

Knife In The Water vs Beverly Hills Chihuahua

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.

[FelipeSobreiro 54]

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.

[RobertBoberts 62]

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.

[RobertBoberts 62]

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?

[FelipeSobreiro 54]

THE MASK (1994) vs MASK (1985)

[RossHolzschuh 6]

THE MASK (1994) vs MASK (1985)

vs The Man in the Iron Mask

[Marsellus_H 118]

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.

 

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

[FelipeSobreiro 54]

LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE (1992) vs WATER FOR ELEPHANTS (2011)

 

Category: movies describing the many possible uses of water

 

TEEN WOLF TOO (1987) vs DUMB AND DUMBER TO (2014)

 

Category: Sequels where the word "Two" is mispelled on purpose in the title

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

[Marsellus_H 118]

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.

[RobertBoberts 62]

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

[Marsellus_H 118]

Come to think of it: What about Jungle Book vs an actual Tiger?

[HoldenMartinson 221]

For real, though: The Beatles' Let It Be versus The Replacements' Let It Be. Wouldn't that be fun??

[FelipeSobreiro 54]

THE DEVIL'S BROTHER (1933) vs TO THE DEVIL A DAUGHTER (1976)

 

Movies about Satan's immediate family.

[RobertBoberts 62]

THE DEVIL'S BROTHER (1933) vs TO THE DEVIL A DAUGHTER (1976)

 

Movies about Satan's immediate family.

 

Versus Petey Wheatstraw.

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

[joel_rosenbaum 1269]

We did it everybody!

 

[FelipeSobreiro 54]

SHOAH vs ERNEST GOES TO CAMP

 

(sorry)

[HoldenMartinson 221]

We did it everybody!

 

We restored Au hasard Balthazar to technicolor???

[Marsellus_H 118]

We restored Au hasard Balthazar to technicolor???

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

[HoldenMartinson 221]

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.

[FelipeSobreiro 54]

Thanks to this thread my brain keeps coming up with stupid versus scenarios!

 

IMMORTAL BELOVED vs BEETHOVEN

 

This one is self-explanatory

 

MY LEFT FOOT vs IDLE HANDS

 

Movies in which a character either controls only a limb or everything but a limb

[Ryan L 57]

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.
