The Verdict Director's Cut

This matchup has 12 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.

It's tempting to call this scale beating intimacy, but the truth is closer to comfort beating discomfort. Prisoners is built to disturb — it puts a decent man in an indecent place and refuses to let him or you off the hook, and a film that disturbs will always shed voters who'd rather not be disturbed. Dune: Part Two overwhelms without wounding; its grandeur asks for awe, not complicity. Awe collects everyone. So a margin this size isn't the desert dwarfing the manhunt. It's the difference between a film that makes you flinch at yourself and a film that lifts you out of yourself, in a contest where the lift wins almost every time.
