If you could only have one: THE GAME vs FALLING DOWN?

[psickmusic]

Its M. Douglas against himself with THE GAME vs FALLING DOWN ; which do you like better - if you could only watch one, which movie would you watch?

[darkash]

I love both so much. Please don't make me choose.

[taygan315]

Falling Down..no contest.

[bembol]

I like Falling Down but The Game takes this easily.

[Lone_Gunmen]

They're completely different, apart from Michael Douglass being in them lol


Falling Down wins though. Especially the briefcase scene.

[AltonDarwin]

The Game... not even close.

Falling Down's anti-protagonist quickly veers from sympathetic to nonsensical parody (learning how to fire a bazooka from a kid? WTF?). And don't get me started on the future rapist of the Batman franchise, Joel Schumacher...

[hoosier2007]

Two different movies with same actor,

how can you pick one over the other?

Both great movies on their own terms?!

dont say anything, Please..

[AltonDarwin]

I did like the clever double entendre of the title though. D-FENS's descent into madness measured against Prendergast's wife's obsession with a recreation of the London Bridge. "Falling Down" indeed.

[HuskerGuy]

Hmm, much more difficult one. Falling Down just b/c it's badass. The Game is awesome though.

Edit - Kudos to hoosier for the awesome avatar and sig.

ANY news as to a release date for "The Game" on bluray?

[comixguru]

I find Falling Down is more rewatchable for me.

[Lordoftherings]

The Game is a better piece of cinematic work for me.
Everything in it is well choreographed and acted.

Falling down is more performance driven, mostly by a single guy.

[CaptainCanuck]

They're both good movies but because of the ending the Game loses rewatch value.

[cooltobeyou]

Let me start this off by saying that I think both are definitely 5 star movies for me. They both have flaws, but they both entertain me to no end...to the tune of 5 out of 5 for me

That being said, I just love the creepy atmosphere that The Game evokes. I love the mysterious premise that encompasses the film. Most of all though, I love watching movies with "twist endings", and the Game has one of the best twists....even though the twist might water down repeat viewings, I just like watching Michael Douglas' facial expressions/reactions when he finds out. Good Stuff.

Falling Down is a fantastic piece of cinema as well....but its fueled completely by Douglas' performance, and it does start to lose a little bit of steam and believability by the end of the picture. Also, the movie just seems more dated than "The Game" does.

So, I give this one to "The Game." And BTW....where the fuck is my "The Game" Blu-Ray? I don't want to hold on to my HD DVD player for this and three other movies...

[Lordoftherings]

Ya, "The Game" on Blu , that would be very cool indeed.

* Hope they make a nice picture transfer though. And the audio too.
And with tons of nice features... One can only hope...
