And Laurence Olivier and Gregory Peck.

Great actors, yes- and I love them both. But Vonnegut was a great, great man- great Humanist, great thinker- who really had an effect on people's lives.

No offense intended, but an actor's influence really can't compare.

slaughterhouse 5.

another all time favorite ..(i was also madly in love with Valerie Perraine)

I disagree. Laurence Olivier's performance in "Wuthering Heights" is what got me interested in reading the classics.

Yes- but he didn't WRITE those classics.

You know, we could go back and forth all day on this - let's just call it a draw and say you have your opinion and I have mine. OK? :)

I can't call it a draw because you're just not going to find Olivier or Peck on any list of the great thinkers of the 20th century- but you WILL find Vonnegut on those lists. That's not an opinion- it's a fact.

However, you won't find Vonnegut on any list of great actors.

12 Monkeys

La Jetee!

12 Monkeys wins with a quick surge to 5, Slaughterhouse 5 scores 3, while The Boys From Brazil gets 1.

I'll always vote Donald Sutherland - he is a local boy afterall.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers

agreed.

since invasion of the body snatchers will probably win this round anyway, i'll vote for night of the creeps.

Night of the Creeps.

invasion of the bodysnatchers

Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, no, wait, fuck it, I'm voting Brainscan...

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers

I'll go with Invasion...

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers

Very close battle...

Invasion of the Body Snatchers wins with 6 last-minute votes, Night of the Creeps scores a very uncomfortable 5, while Brainscan gets 2.

I'll say Iron Man, Space Balls was dumb and haven't seen the other one.

I'm gonna vote for Spaceballs. It's hilarious.

spaceballs for sure.

never got to see iron man,

so i'll go with spaceballs.
