To me this is a tough one.  One of my all time favorite comedies, vs the movie that gave us the back of our 2nd edition TDMMC T-Shirts.

Good matchup for round 1...

As soon as I saw this match-up, I thought "aw, man...I love both of these!"

Even though I dig Happy Gilmore, I think A League of Their Own is a better movie, with a "much-much-much" better cast.

The price is wrong, bitch!

This is going to be one of the closest matchups of the first round.

Better yet, do you realize that Happy Gilmore is 17 years ago, and A League Of Their Own was 21 years ago?  Crap...

Wow....what a tough start.  While I concede that A League of Their Own is the better movie, I find myself going back to Happy Gilmore more often if I catch it on TV.

No hotlinking please!

Brian, I recommend you use themoviedb.org for your poster links.  It's a website specifically set up to accommodate media player PCs.

If its better, fine, I don't care. Just want to understand how what I did is wrong.

Brian, some sites disallow hotlinking, so the posters you are linking either don't show up at all, or look like this:



Push CTRL+F5 on your browser and you should see what we are talking about.

The site I gave you does allow hotlinking (AFAIK), so you should be able to avoid this kind of problem for the rest of the contest.

Got it - I changed this already once today.  I will fix it again.  I linked most of them from Wikipedia, which hasn't been a problem.  That one is being pesky.
