The Verdict Neck and Neck

This matchup has 13 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.

Give it to White Men Can't Jump and it's a real movie edging a famous one. Shelton made a comedy that understands the game from the inside, and Snipes and Harrelson play off each other like a duo who have worked the same clubs for years. Space Jam has the bigger footprint and the warmer glow, but glow fades and wit doesn't. The audience rewarded the film that still holds up as a film, not the event it half-remembers.
