Pick two to advance!

[Spider-Dan]

I went with Superman and Superman II, largely for their impact on the genre.

I went with The Crow and The Mask.  Funny enough they came out the same year, I remember watching both a lot when I was younger.

[Dave Gray]

I don't love the Superman movies.  They're groundbreaking, but I've always found them corny.  I picked Superman II, because I remember it being less silly and the 3 Kryptonians were pretty cool.

I also went with the Mask.  That was a fun movie, as a remember.  Also, Cameron Diaz, I remember being crazy hot in that film.

Voting against one movie for being corny then voting for the corniest. Hmm.

[Dave Gray]

The Mask was kinda intentionally corny and seemed to embrace that tone.  Superman was earnest.  I also hate that version of Lex Luthor and it's always been something I'd like done a different way.  For a long time, I thought I just didn't like Superman the character but I've since come to enjoy him.

Parity!

This group is the NFL's wet dream.

[Spider-Dan]

Voting has ended!  Superman II and The Mask advance to the next round, where they will face Men In Black and Blade.
