I've never seen The Blues Brothers, so I will have to abstain. I don't mind the Star Wars films, never properly got into them though.
 
Also, I’ve just noticed, how did Crocodile Dundee not make the cut?

Board demographics: there aren’t a whole lot of romcoms in the finals. And Crocodile Dundee was more rom than com, by some distance, mainly because Paul Hogan was never all that funny.
 
I thought it was charming.

I agree. It is a odd film to go back and watch, there is far less of him being a fish out of water in New York than I remembered. Three quarters of the film is in Oz and I remember it being the other way around.
 
Rolled over for one more day and you can now change your votes, if you've changed your mind.
 
I’d like to change my vote for 2 votes please.

Not only is Empire a Star Wars movie, it’s the best Star Wars movie.

It deserves a matchup against a peer, Aliens, Raiders, Dundee.
 
I like the Blues Brothers but it is just a series of music videos taped together with some...um...tape. It is not really a film.

Good point.

It’s SNL Christmas VHS, which is fine, it has merit, but it’s a second class citizen here.
