Default Best 80's movie ever! Matchup 26

Ok, so I've been convinced to post the rest of the bracket. Begin your voting. Oh, and I may or may not declare UHF the winner over ET due to vote fixing.

Matchup 26 gets futuristic and robotic.

Blade Runner takes on Robocop

Robocop no contest. It has way too many great lines giving it much more 80's appeal. Bladerunner is also an extremely overrated movie, IMO.

Bladerunner was much cooler. Robocop could have been much better. Except for the scene where the police-robot shot up the boardroom when it targeted the exec.

The scene in Robocop where the bad guy made those "ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne" sounds before shooting off the cop-turned-Robocop human's hand was crazy. So was the one where the guy fell in the toxic waste.

My memory of my one viewing of Robocop is that it was nothing but violence-pr0n. So not a tough call for me here.

I wouldn't think so either and yet despite this unabashed praise you voted for the other guy?

Blade Runner is one of my 5 favorite movies...loved the book and the film is even better.

I know it won't get far in these polls since it's underrated, but please vote for it!!!
