I chose Ladyhawke because it is such a magical gem of a movie. WarGames is also a great movie. Both movies have Matthew Broderick as the main character.

Brian Leonard

I have seen Short Circuit and Batteries Not Included, but I have stronger memories of Short Circuit, so that is what I chose.

I really hope Short Circuit Wins, that movie is amazing and I watched it when it first came out and I loved it

There was so much innovation back then (not that there isn't now). So many struggles. So much uncharted territory. "You think this'll work?" . "Fuck if I know!".

I love that Short Circuit and War Games are tied at 40%. I chose War Games, because "Shall we play a game?" is probably one of the most iconic lines in movie history, but Short Circuit was right up there in regard to nostalgic 80s films about Artificial Intelligence...😋

War Games is a bit overrated...Yes its a fun simple little story and worth a one time watch...but you never see a Short Circuit reaction...which imo is a very unique and FUN film to watch. But I'm still gonna watch War Games with you all if it wins of course.

Tron and D.A.R.Y.L. are two others that also explored AI in the 80s, but the best movie to ever do so, in my opinion, was the movie that bears the actual name, A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) starring Haley Joel Osment, Frances O'Connor, Jude Law, William Hurt, Sam Robards, Ben Kingsley and Robin Williams as the voice of Dr. Know...😋

These are all fantastic, but Batteries Not Included holds a special place in my heart.

Ladyhawke would be the best, especially for those who love TTRPGs like D&D but Wargames also dope. Basically can;t go wrong with Mathew Broderick.

Short circuit and batteries not included are both great

Drell77

I also really love Batteries Not Included but that movie never gets voted on enough or watched by any reactors that I've watched unfortunately

Irby

No kiddong

I love "Batteries Not Included," It has heart and the deep feels. But Short Circuit is mile ahead the more quotable film!

ArcadeAndy

War Games is probably the better movie, but I'm voting Short Circuit because it doesn't get enough love.

Drell77

In my opinion, both Short Circuit and Batteries Not Included are both much better than War Games, and yes I completely agree that War Games is very overrated, it's an OK story and kind of fun but not that interesting and I watched it once when I was younger, then tried to watch it again when I was older and fell asleep halfway through War Games so I will not be watching that movie anymore. It's just not that interesting, but that's just me, I am not trying to put anyone down or anything for liking it at all, everyone is different and have very different opinions and that is perfectly ok. I just wanted to voice my opinion also.

Batteries Not Included is amazing little film with emotional turns- I hope it gets on another poll or is watched as your own choice. Hidden gem

Ian A

Voted for SC. All these movies are class, but hoping for Short Circuit as I haven't seen anyone react to it. Thanks guys!

Michael Short

Have I missed something and not seen that you watched WarGames?

It got a bit delayed, but it's coming out in November!!
