Over 150+ movies nominated, about 400 ballots cast over the first five rounds of this February Madness tournament and it all comes down to this. The title is on the line between these two heavyweights.

There might be movies out there with better plots or acting, but it'd be hard to find a more badass matchup than this one. And that's all we were hoping for in a final. Two movies that really changed the game.

Before we get to the matchup, friendly reminder that I did not determine the seeding, you did!
Tournament recap:
Round of 64
Round of 32
Sweet 16
Elite 8
Final 4

Copy and paste version in the 1st post.
*Also taking suggestions on what the next tournament should be

Let's go!...


Representing the WHY JOHHNY RINGO, YOU LOOK LIKE SOMEBODY JUST WALKED OVER YOUR GRAVE REGION:

1. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (def. Ong Bak, Robocop, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and Predator)









VS



Representing the HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS REGION:

1. Die Hard (def. Magnum Force, Tombstone, The Matrix, Gladiator and John Wick)

Die Hard is a perfect action flick and copied about 100 times - White House Down anybody? - and it is an ACTION movie.

T2 is a sci-fi/action movie. I have seen both films over 20 times and a tough call.

But - especially in light of Bruce's diagnosis this week - gotta ...

DIE HARD!

It was always going to be Die Hard....the OG format for modern action films. Plus it's a Christmas movie! Who doesn't love Christmas besides Phoebe Cates in Gremlins.

How many movies has Die Hard spawned?

Its part of the lexicon.

Die Hard on a bus, Die Hard on a train, Die Hard on a plane, Die Hard on a boat, Die Hard on a Battleship, Die Hard on a Mountain, etc. etc.

I can't believe I live in a world where T2 beats Predator. T2 is a decent movie, but it thinks so little of its own audience's intelligence that it's always rubbed me the wrong way.

So be it, movie board.

T2 is a better overall movies, but Diehard fits action movie more since its lead is an action hero where T2 lead is, more or less, a whiny teen.
