WTF. At this point I think I'm just going to ignore this poll. Votes being removed and switching every day hardly makes it a valid poll. A switch every now and then after someone truly reconsiders each film is fine, but this is just ridiculous.

Is there any other poll acting this way?

BTW, 143 votes which is probably almost 3X the response of any other poll.  Well done!

Weirdly, the original random movie death match (between Juno and Little Miss Sunshine) is the second most popular one, with 85 total votes.

edit: Scratch that. 90 votes for No Country for Old Men versus Children of Men (with the better film still down by ten votes, dammit!). I'm surprised Fargo versus Pulp Fiction isn't more popular.

All Alan Rickman needs to do is show up in a film and that film is automatically made better.

No I did not. Rickman makes a film better than it would be otherwise, but not necessarily better than another film.

I can only imagine what awesomeness the world would have been exposed to had Alan Rickman shown his face in BttF.

We would have all achieved Nirvana.  I mean the one with the Buddha, not the one with Kurt.  We can experience Kurt pretty much anytime, and I don't think he would have made BttF or Die Hard any better.
