You do not make voting life easy. I think this one will be very close if not another tie. Coin flip city here I come.

sure, got one that will be tough.  One of my favorite old movies, and one i haven't seen, but looks interesting.  Now off to netflix to see it.

LOL, well guys, I do try to make them match up somewhat. I used to love both of them when I was younger, but it's been a looooong time since I saw them.

 I actually think the voting has been easy enough on them. This one is the only problem I have with so far, as I didn't like either movie. So my vote is none of the above.

umm...

Bruch Dern as the grandfather of the tree-huggers.....on the last hope of man-kind to re-colonize a planet with greenery.....

or


Robert Duvall as the only man to impregnate a woman without drugs???


Silent running is more original and I don't think has been remade in any shape or form...

THX......mehe...boring and has been remade to death in one form or another..

+ I love the little robots!

Silent Running A+

hmm... Couldn't choose two polls ago because I couldn't pick between the two.  Now I can't pick, because I haven't seen either of these...
