I have seen neither of these films.
Don't look at me, I'm hideous.

Team Dooms and Sno
Lawrence of Arabia 1960's ChampionSelected by: Dooms and Snoborder Released: 1962 Directed By: David Lean Who Directed: 2 Films in the 1960'sTomatoes/Meta: 98/100 Cinematography: F.A. Young Score: Maurice Jarre Defeated: To Kill a Mockingbird, The Graduate, Psycho, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Siskel/Ebert:"To see it in a movie theater is to appreciate the subtlety of F.A. (Freddie) Young's desert cinematography--achieved despite blinding heat, and the blowing sand, which worked its way into every camera. “Lawrence of Arabia” was one of the last films to actually be photographed in 70mm (as opposed to being blown up to 70 from a 35mm negative). There was a hunger within filmmakers like Lean (and Kubrick, Coppola, Tarkovsky, Kurosawa and Stone) to break through the boundaries, to dare a big idea and have the effrontery to impose it on timid studio executives. The word “epic” in recent years has become synonymous with “big budget B picture.” What you realize watching “Lawrence of Arabia” is that the word “epic” refers not to the cost or the elaborate production, but to the size of the ideas and vision." - R. Ebert A Decade in Music: Thoughts from the Team:Has there been another movie whose every element and every detail has been a masterstroke? From the acting to the script to the cinematography to the score, almost everything about Lawrence of Arabia is dead-on perfection. We'll never see another film like it. - Doomsday Visual Enhancements:What Happened... in the 1960's:Marilyn Monroe made one of her last public appearances on May 19th at a birthday celebration for U.S. President John F. Kennedy before her death. The event became an iconic moment in pop culture when the actress sang an intimate, sultry, and memorable rendition of "Happy Birthday" to the world leader. Monroe wore an intricately designed skin-tight beaded dress that was considered a little scandalous at the time. Lets Talk Lean:Versus
Raiders of the Lost Ark 1980's ChampionSelected by: Dooms and Snoborder Released: 1981 Directed By: Steven Spielberg Who Directed: 8 Films in the 1980's
Tomatoes/Meta: 95/85 Cinematography: Douglas Slocombe Score: John Williams Defeated: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Die Hard, The Shining, The Terminator Siskel/Ebert:" 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' is an out-of-body experience, a movie of glorious imagination and breakneck speed that grabs you in the first shot, hurtles you through a series of incredible adventures, and deposits you back in reality two hours later -- breathless, dizzy, wrung-out, and with a silly grin on your face. This movie celebrates the stories we spent our adolescence searching for in the pulp adventure magazines, in the novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, in comics -- even in the movies." -R. Ebert A Decade in Music:Thoughts from the Team:One of the most universally beloved movies ever made but whose quality is equal to its likability. If there's a movie with more iconic scenes than Raiders of the Lost Ark I'd like to hear it. - Doomsday Visual Enhancements:What Happened... in the 1980's:Best selling author Tom Clancy concludes a successful decade with the publication of Clear and Present Danger in 1989. The book follows previous bestsellers The Hunt for Red October (1984), Red Storm Rising (1986), Patriot Games (1987), and The Cardinal of the Kremlin (1988). Lets Talk Spielberg:My Vote: Lawrence of Arabia

Raiders of the Lost Ark. No offense to Lawrence, cause it's a really good movie, but Raiders is a movie I can watch much more and at any time I want without having to clear out most of my day.

I'm voting Raiders because Dracula shoved that thing in my face.

Remember that time Dracula voted for Aquaman as the best movie of the decades?
