I don't want to die, so I will reply! (Votes in bold.)

Matchup 1 - This is NO FAIR! How do I choose?
Minority Report
The Mummy

Matchup 2 - Again, what's with these choices?
The Long, Hot Summer
Love Actually

Yes, there does seem to be a theme - when it gets down to the nitty gritty, go with the movie with the cutest guy!

Matchup 3 - toss up. Never seen either. Coin flip says...
Labyrinth
To Catch a Thief

Matchup 4 - Mel Brooks is a GENIUS!
Gone With The Wind
Young Frankenstein

Matchup 5 - Love me some cartoons!
Finding Nemo
The Pianist

Matchup 6 - Another tough choice! But since I tend to fall asleep in the middle of Gladiator, I choose...
The Princess Bride
Gladiator

Matchup 7 - Johnny Cash ROCKS!
Walk the Line
E.T.
And before we kill, me just want say one ting…Dis one small swing for croc, one giant blow for croc-kind.

This one's not even close. I loved the Sixth Sense. The Usual Suspects was cute.

Tough one. Both are deserving.

This time I just had to go based upon 'If I were to have to choose between these two movies, which would I want to watch right now'. Matchup 19 was a big fat neither- and the rest I decided based upon that criteria.
