Poll Comp: "Don't make me choose!" or "No contest"

[MoeFOH]

Simple comp: Two questions (sometimes about cigars but mostly not). 

First question will ask you for your choice between two things. 

Second will be to ask you if that was a "don't make me choose!" or "No contest" question for you. 

Vote in the poll, discuss below if you wish . 

All participants go into the random draw for a 5-pack of MOFOH Robusto Trinity .

No contest here.  Scorcese is brilliant.  Quirky sometimes for sure, but brilliant.

Love me a bit of Scorcese, but has to be Senior Spielbergo for me.
   I went with no contest. I love a gangster flick, which is what I generally associate Scorcese with, but when Spielberg goes big, he’s in his own league.

Kubrick and Coppola would have been tougher for me.

Hard to pick against Spielberg and Jaws.Lifechanging😀

[Ford2112]

Both different animals. I picked Scorcese but it could go either way. Close Encounters Jaws and Saving Private Ryan are epic. Plus Band of Brothers. But Gangs of New York, Casino, Goodfellas, The Last Waltz. So many great films. I am a gangster film fanatic so I edge Scorcese by a hair.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Just let that sink in for a bit.

Spielberg, no contest. First 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan alone wins this, yet alone the sheer depth of his catalogue.

Scorsese, don’t make me choose…while both have plenty in my top 10/20, Scorsese has more and had more influence in my formative years…

[Ford2112]

Raging Bull. Taxi Driver. Cape Fear. The Color of Money. All bangers.

[zacca]

Marty, don’t make me choose. I acknowledge Spielberg’s hits, but overall I like more of what Scorsese put out. 

[riderpride]

Senior Spielbergo for me as well. Schindler's and Saving just hit hard. It was a close call though. 

Cheers!

[Hoosh]

This is a super tough choice, but I went with Scorsese, because I feel his general body of work has more gritty* movies than does Spielberg. 

* Movies that afterwards made me say “Damn” verses movies that made me say “That’s nice.”

Jaws, Jurassic Park, raiders of the lost ark, saving private Ryan, ET, Close encounters, band of brothers, Schindler's list.

It could be nostalgia for me, but I think Spielberg at his best creates cinematic magic that allows for true escapism.

Scorsese has truly made some of the best films ever made, but where Spielberg will have you leave the picture feeling exhilarated, Scorsese will leave you feeling exhausted.

Yeah, but he never put Tony Dogs' head in a f*#($%in vice, did he?  Making eyes escape and whatnot.
