Speed is a better movie but Face Off is one of those movies you can watch 1000 times and it wont get annoying. You can only take so much of Reeves in that movie.

Face Off

Speed wins 11-8

and now on to the 80's

And for what its worth, "Sixth Sense" was the most overrated, unscary, 120 minutes of penance I've ever seen.

Very difficult match. This is also a match, where you can be sure that most people vote AMADEUS, because they´ve only seen AMADEUS, just like in the last battle, where most people voted for FATAL ATTRACTION, because they had only seen that particular movie.
