Space Jam currently edges White Men Can't Jump 55–46
The Looney crossover edges the playground two-hander.
The Verdict
This matchup has 11 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
A close result is the recognizable thing narrowly outpulling the better one. White Men Can't Jump is sharper on every level that matters to a film — the Snipes and Harrelson double act, Ron Shelton's ear for how ballplayers actually talk, the argument over whether you can listen to Jimi Hendrix and still not hear him. Space Jam is louder, broader, and impossible to forget, a crossover event more than a basketball movie. The familiar thing nudged out the well-made one, as it often does on a ballot.
