WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
Two games enter! One game leaves!

that's a very strong point.
But if we look at it on its own (which we shouldn't, i realise), how about that ending for Before Sunset! Again, totally ambiguous about what's going to happen, but I had a HUGE smile on my face, "...you're going to miss your flight..." "i know."

Before Sunrise has one of the best film endings where we don't know whether either of them will show up at the train station later. The sequel tells us he showed up and she was visiting her sick grandmother. Answering a question that shouldn't have been answered. Also tells us that they did in fact have sex in the graveyard after her speech about not wanting to be his one-night stand story. It basically ruins the first movie and that's not what a sequel should do, imo.

Didn't like the trailer or the previous movie so never bothered to see it.

Empire has boring parts. Raiders doesn't.

This anti-Star Wars rhetoric we are seeing in these threads is starting to smell like beards, flannel, and craft beer. I'm just saying.

Thanks to this thread, I've remembered there's a screening of Raiders in a cinema in a couple of weeks which I totally wanted to get tickets to and had completely forgotten about it.
I also have to go with Raiders, because my son has been watching Empire on a constant loop for weeks, and... I'd never imagine I'd say it, but I can't stand it anymore.

Winner!
10-9
In another hard fought contest, Star Wars was taken down. Wow...is it going to take Phantom Menace to be pulled out in order for Star Wars to get a win?

I blame the October surprise of finding out Harrison slept with Carrie during Empire.

The coworker straw poll here at work went for Raiders. Our resident cineaste figured it was all killer, no filler.

It seems to me that hipster is your go to insult. I have to wonder why you obsess with using hipster in the pejorative. Are you hipsterphobic? Are you hiding Neutral Milk Hotel albums in your closet?
In any case, were I grew up if someone wears flannel it means they work in the bush. Just sayin'.

Clearly, a monster movie and a pulpy adventure movie, both of them dearly loved by the masses, stand as steadfast paragons of hipsterism.

I'm kind of morbidly interested to see a contest between Phantom Menace and Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls.

Dude... Phantom Menace will win that seven days a week. Crystal Skulls us a horrific movie. Put Attack of the Clones against Crystal Skulls and now it's a race
