Yes, we're back with the Final 8. This contest pits the Cinderella Story against the mighty Empire in the contest that will decide the Final 4 reoresentative from the Samatha Baker Division. Empire has walked over Weird Science, Robocop and Ferris Buehler Trading Places trounced Footloose, then edged War Games and the Breakfast Club on its magical ride. Who is your pick? (Voting ends Tuesday!)

I smell a 12-2 upset in the making.

Not happenin'. While Harrison Ford was clearly the most successful acotr (box office-wise) of the eighties, Dan Ackroyd was second. There are worse things than being a big second banana.

I voted Empire. Best of the Star Wars flicks.

I don't know if I've voted for either one of these movies yet. Gotta start sometime I guess.

Empire - it's Iconic.

I have to chew on this one for a spell. Both are great.

Never was a big Star Wars fan. Jamie Lee Curtis breastasses on the other hand....

I can watch that repeatedly, but you couldn't pay me to sit through Empire again.

Vic Sage Jan 16 2009 01:11 PM while there are few who appreciate JLCurtis' assets more than the founding member of TiTTS, and TRADING PLACES is certainly a solid 80s comedy, it is a movie of no particular consequence. However, as the best of the original SW trilogy, EMPIRE is not only a great movie, but one of the most iconic, influential films made in the last 30 years. I don't see how this should even be close. But then again, the rest of my final 4 (BLADE RUNNER, ROAD WARRIOR and RAGING BULL) didn't even get close. Hell, BULL (consistently voted the best film of the 80s) didn't even make the damn cut!
