This may be the hardest vote for me yet. I love both of these movies.

Went with 'Fish'. LOVE that movie.

I loved Raiders, so I voted for it. I don't think I ever saw Fish.

Raiders. I've always had a thing for Karen Allen. Plus "Fish" never did much for me to be honest.

I know Raiders is a classic, but I liked Fish much more. John Cleese rules!

Fish all the way.

Raiders is a classic. Fish - not so much.

Liked both but Raiders is the winner for me.

Toughest choice on the board -- went with Raiders based on the sheer scope of it's return to action/adventure bigness.

Oh no! It's K-K-K-Ken, c-c-c-coming to k-k-k-kill me!

Both good, but there was nothing like Fish.

Don't call me stupid!

It's hard to go against John Cleese and Jaime Lee Curtis, but I gave the nod to Indiana Jones and his lost ark.

FISH is a great throwback to those wonderful Ealing Studio comedies of the 40s-50s with Alec Guiness. It's clever and well done, with great cast and script. But FISH is to INDIANA JONES as a drizzle is to a thunder-storm.

To this day I can't figure out why I wasted an evening many years ago watching A Fish Called Wanda. Dumb.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 20 2008 07:38 PM

I really struggled with this one too. I don't think either has aged all that well -- it is easier to choose if that's not the case -- so I went with my initial impression. 'Fish' made me laugh pretty hard; but only Indy knocked my socks off, especially the first 20 minutes.

Cruelty to animals is not funny and bleeds into the way I feel about the rest.

soupcan Oct 20 2008 08:49 PM

There was animal cruelty in 'Fish'? Do you mean when Otto put the fish in his mouth? Really?

AG/DC Oct 20 2008 09:14 PM

Animals were killed left and right for laughs in that film. Not just the fish but three dogs, all to make for laughter at super-sensitive Ken's expense.

23-8 Raiders

AG/DC Oct 21 2008 08:36 AM

It's like the 1981 AFC Championship.
