I thought it would be cool to do the same thing we are doing in the Soundtracks Forum for movies, so I will kick it off with what I think is a toughy:
 Gladiator OR Braveheart |

Uff, that one isn't easy either, asri... 
Considering that Sean Connery is just an awesome icon, I'd take "The Rock", but with reservation...
The Sixth Sense OR Stir of Echoes ? |

Signs all the way. The village wasn't as well executed in my opinion. Kind of dull.
James Bond duel:
Goldeneye or Man with the Golden Gun |

Ouch... another hard one...
I'm such a huge Brosnan fan, but Man with a Golden Gun is totally the best of the two!
Hmmm... how about kid movies?
Harry Potter or Liminy Snicket?

Lemony Snicket. ok against the grain. Harry Potter was interesting,but the Lemony was one of the those movies that made you go wow. I also loved the music and Lemony actually entertained all of my nephews and nieces.
Ok, star trek movies.
Star trek-first contact or star trek insurrection. |

Oh man... Star Trek First Contact was vastly superior.
Ok, contemporary comedies... Anchorman or Dodgeball? |
