Next: Do you prefer Irish disco king and singing sensation Pierce Brosnan as James Bond or Remington Steele?
Bond. (The second greatest ever Bond IMO, and far, far superior than the current 007; although Brosnan was also a terrific Steele.)
Next: Spoiler Alert- this question is about the ending of Casablanca, so do not respond if you haven't seen the film, and/or if you don't want to know what happens:
Should Ilsa have gotten onto the plane? :x
"He’s a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back—that’s an earthquake. and then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you’re finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory." Death of a Salesman
Next: Whose scarier? Rutger Hauer or Christopher Walken?
Both. ) They are both equally scary. However, I'm going to opt for Rutger simply because either by choice or out of necessity, he hasn't done as many non-villainous/non-creepy roles that Walken has done (or at least that I have seen.)
Next: in terms of pure talent, who was better? James Dean or Heath Ledger? (The reason I ask is because Ledger has, fairly or unfairly, been compared to Dean.)

Here's one for the arty crowd. Godard or Truffaut?
Truffaut. Godard must be one of the most overrated and most pretentious directors of all time. Although I do think that Breatless was impressive (but still overrated), I think that Godard's gifts were wildly overstated.
Another 'arty' question. De Sica's Bicycle Thief or Rossellini's Open City?

I can't give you an answer as I'm afraid with the exception of Francesco Rosi, Italian neo-realism leaves me cold.
What? I love neo-realism. Watching the endings of Bicycle Thief and Open City just breaks my heart. JD, do you even have a heart? :v
(Oh, and Rosi isn't really an Italian Realist, at least not by strict definitions. )

(Oh, and Rosi isn't really an Italian Realist, at least not by strict definitions. )
I'd place Salvatore Guiliano as being neo-realism. Except that it's better than both those other films. And no, I don't have a heart. I'll go with Rome Open City as its director fathered Isabella Rosselini.
Next: Where would you rather be on Hogmanay? (That's New Year's Eve for those who don't speak Scottish). Edinburgh, or New York?
(Oh, and Rosi isn't really an Italian Realist, at least not by strict definitions. )
I'd place Salvatore Guiliano as being neo-realism.
:v Well, I don't know if I would classify it as neo-realism (the way I see it, neo-realism ceased shortly after World War 2), but I do agree that Isabella Rosselini is wonderful.

Kafka, over both Camus and Cooper (whom I've never heard of intil now.) :v
John Steinbeck or Ernest Hemmingway?

Next: Would you rather be - a vampire cop or a werewolf bus driver? (That is a bus driver who is a werewolf, not one that drives a bus specifically for werewolves. Just thought I'd clear that up. )
A dashiki. (I hadn't heard of either until just now, when I googled them.)
Yes Minister or Yes, Prime Minister?
"He’s a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine.

They're practically the same show, but Yes Minister. It's a little worrying when an idiot becomes Prime Minister.
Yes, Prime Minister is really a sequel. You know, it's interesting, but if you watch alot of the episodes, Hacker is not as much of an idiot as you might think.
It should be noted that Yes Minister (and to a lesser extent Yes, Prime Minister) is one of my all-time favourite comedies. )
