    Casablanca, although I like all three films, even Delta Force.

    Aubergine, Cucumber or Courgette?

    Courgette (though I call it zucchini).

    Tuna, salmon or sardines?

    Salmon. (I like tuna-as-sushi but the canned stuff is vomitrocious.)

    Egg rolls, pork buns, or shumai?

    Gallipoli - excellent movie.

    Holmes, but Watson is cool too. Moriarty is right out.

    Harry and the Hendersons, Invictus or Just Go With It?

    Invictus - I remember watching the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final as well.

    Black Pudding, Haggis, or Brain?

    Brain, probably, in a nice sauce.

    Peaches, but just barely. All three are divine.

    Dachshunds - they are SO CUTE. The only poodle I ever knew was a horrible vicious beast.

    Man. All three are great. But a perfect pie just barely edges out a perfect version of either of the others.

    Jupiter. I just think it's crazy how big it is, and how little idea we have of what's really at the center.

    Wendy's. Their burgers are slightly better, and I enjoy a frosty.

    Dominos, Pizza Hut, or Little Caesars?

    KFC. The others just don't measure up, I think.

    You'll like this, OCS. Jupiter is pretty freakin' big compared to Earth, but then check out the Sun next to Arcturus... and Antares: http://www.quantrek.org/size_compari...comparison.htm

    Killing Me Softly, Larry Crowne or Mister Roberts?

    Mister Roberts. A legitimately good movie, in addition to being the only one of the three I've seen.

    Knob Creek, Wild Turkey or Jim Beam?

    Knob Creek is tasty happiness.

    Of the three, Stoli, but between middle-shelf vodkas like those, top-shelf vodkas like Grey Goose and Belvedere, and bottom-shelf vodkas like Popov and McCormick, I find the differences to be subtle at best and not worth the price discrepancy. OCS says: "Buy the expensive beer, but the cheap vodka: that is the way of wisdom."

    Jack. Jager is made of distilled regrets and the sins of mankind.

    Taco Bell, diner breakfast, or Gatorade and Advil?

    I don't know about best, speaking empirically or medically, but my preferred hangover cure is definitely diner breakfast. Any time I'm drinking straight gin on the rocks, artifex already knows it's Blue Plate tomorrow morning.

    The Smiths, The Cure, or New Order?

    Othello, because it's the only one I'm 100% certain I've seen all the way through, and I want to get this thread going again!

    Show - although usually when I bet they are fallers.

    Jay-Z by far. The guy can rap, and he has a fantastic ear for beats and sounds. Kanye is good but overrated, and Chris hits women.

    Aramis, I always thought he was the one I'd most like to hang out with.

    Cinderella. I mean, none of the three of them was exactly Mulan or Belle, but by the standards of early Disney princesses, Cinderella at least...did...something, other than faint and wait to be saved. Also, the mice and birds singing that song while they fixed up her dress was adorable.

    Pac-Man, Space Invaders, or Donkey Kong?

    Space Invaders. Played a little in college.

    Rashomon, it's delightfully odd.

    Arrakis, in the greatest landslide of any of the choices I've made in this thread so far. The Dune books absolutely fired my imagination, taking over for the LotR books, which I read in elementary school. From age 12 to age 18, whenever I closed my eyes, Arrakis was where I went.

    Seagal, Van Damme, or Arnie?

    Do you mean Ahnuld? Definitely him. True Lies is my favorite movie of his. Hope James Cameron will get around to making a good sequel one of these days.

    Tango & Cash, Under the Cherry Moon, or Vertigo?

    Under the Cherry Moon. I find Prince's movies inexplicably, compulsively watchable, and while that isn't his best one, it's certainly no exception.

    The Incredibles, Monsters Inc., or Finding Nemo?

    The Incredibles, but I love Wall-E most of all.

    Tombstone, The Great Escape or Dirty Harry.

    Coffee. Tea is a pleasure; coffee is a necessity.

    Outdoor concerts, if it's music I like and I have good company and a nice picnic basket.

    Ooh, that's tough, because I love all three. Gotta go Grimm's, though; they just speak to the Neanderthal-descended, timorous, forest-dwelling Northern European parts of my ancestry.

    Aw, you won't even ask me about Adam, from Firefly (heheheheh)? I have no preference as to those three, so... Billy. Because he's first in alphabetical order.

    Unfamiliar with all but Foster the People, so I guess them.

    Aristotle, I think, but it's been a long time since college, so don't ask me to defend my choice. (I could have written an "A" term paper on the subject in 1977.)

    CNN, Fox News, or Al Jazeera?

    All three are cool in their own way (though Hellraiser's visuals have not aged well), but Fantastic Mr. Fox was such an clever, charming film. Loved it.

    El Greco. The museum of his works in Toledo, Spain is amazing. (Also I don't like modern art, as a general rule.)

    Tiffany, Cartier, or Harry Winston?

    It's all good, but I've only ever bought anything (relatively modest gifts) from Tiffany.

    Independence Day, Jack Frost or The Killers?
