It's amazing that, despite trailing in its own matchup, Back to the Future has still received more votes than any other film in the thirty other matchups.

I haven't seen both of these since their initial release, and I remember loving them both, but in case of doubt, always the one with Alan Rickman over the one with Nicolas Cage.

This is an amazing match-up, but I have to go with The Rock. It was thee movie growing up for me.

I'm amazed to hear people nostalgic about a movie they saw "growing up" or "when I was a kid" that came out after I was already cohabiting with my partner.   I'm oooooolld.

I went with the Rock but I mean to rewatch Robin Hood one of these days, so this is subject to change.  My memory of that movie may be unnecessarily colored by my later dislike of Kevin Costner.

I like both quite a bit, but I'm, going to go with Robin Hood, the medieval setting is always a favorite of mine.

The Rock isn't exactly the growing up kind of movie, but I watched movies way beyond my maturity level when I was younger. So I guess I am proof that "watching-violence-and-bad morals/language-in-movies-when-young-makes-you-do-the-same" theory isn't true.

Robin Hood, I guess.  I've seen it more.
