    These were both on at the same time a few weeks ago. I was torn. I ended up being pretty partial to Gremlins. Phoebe Cates ....... :eek:

    Gremlins came out when I was 7 or 8...and it was epic for a kid that age. Wargames was a great movie, but Gremlins was one of my favorites back then

    I'd piss on a sparkplug if I thought it'd do any good.

    I actually use that line once in a blue moon w/ dealing w/ mechanics. Always gets a chuckle.

    I love Wargames. Looking back at any movie about computers is always hilarious because of how fast the technology changes. Like in Hackers, when they are so psyched about having a chip that is triple the speed of a Pentium. It is also great because a total geek scores a hot chick by cheating and changing her grade (a trick that Matthew Broderick uses in two movies).

    Also, the Gremlins are not very threatening, and Gizmo is incredibly annoying.

    You had to be a conformist and do an "I can't decide" option? WUSS. :rolleyes:

    If there is an "I can't decide" option, then what's the point? Get it? :cool:

    Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks.

    I don't see the connection between the two films. And what the hell is with John Badham movies starring Ally Sheedy ending up in all these polls?


    Anyway, I went with Gremlins. A truly creepy flick to watch when I was a kid. They don't make em like that anymore.

    Gremlins is awesome, though I'm not sure why it's getting matched up with Wargames.
