edgar, have I told you lately that I love Goldfinger?

You just bought a great insurance plan against me ever voting against BTTF.

What if I told you I was going to be reviewing, and watching, my first ever Bond film this month?

That means nothing, Bill. I can always pull out the ace up my sleeve.

I secretly cannot wait for Bond 23, especially with Peter Morgan writing it.

what if I told you I am related to George Lazenby - and a vote for Die Hard might help you meet him......

I've already voted for DH. And you tell George it's a pity he wasn't Bond for a bit longer... :D

Najemikon, you're no Luke Skywalker just yet. It's now 71-72.

Isn't somebody going to point out that Anakin, not Luke, brings balance to the force? ;D

edit: 72's! Eek!

Holy crap, neck and neck at 72 at the time of this posting. This is some white-knuckle polling going on here. Also, it's exciting to see BttF come back from trailing by some half-dozen votes. Go BttF! Grab Die Hard's rear bumper and skateboard to victory!

that would be right - BttF has to hold onto Die Hard's bumber to get anywhere - just remember, if you are holding onto the rear bumper you are always behind. Also remember if you are pushing on the front bumper whist riding a hover board you are just in deep trouble!

I think you are forgetting some things here. Marty holds onto the bumper in 1985 in order to get to school without putting in any serious effort. That's what I call getting ahead! And in both instances of front bumper action in 1955 Marty finds a way to get out of there, causing Biff crash. Basically, Die Hard needs to watch out for the manure truck because BttF is walking right over the car as we speak.

yeah, but that's with Biff driving - remember Bruce Willis is the driver here - he never crashes!
