Have to go with The Departed here. Scorsese and DiCaprio are just too good. I would love to pick my man Raimi and choose Spider man, but i'm going with the departed.

As much as I love Spider-Man, I have to go with The Departed because it is just such a good movie and honestly the ending surprised me.

I have no love for any of the Spiderman movies. The Departed was awesome. Easy choice...

The Departed is a classic. Spiderman would not come anywhere near this oscar winning flick.

The Departed's depressing ending and overrated plot means the sane choice is Spider-Man. Take away the names Scorsese and DiCaprio and shoot the film frame for frame and no one would remember this film nor think it any good. This is the classic case of alleged film fans feeling superior and being pretentious because they pretend to like a "Scorsese" classic.

The Departed ain't as good as all that. And neither is Spider-Man. Of the two, I'll pick The Departed. There are only so many origin stories I can take - and this isn't the best. Now Jack Nicholson vs. William Dafoe. There's a screen showdown waiting to happen.

departed, by far

Since it's the original Spider-Man, while it's good, I'll have to go with The Departed.

The Departed.

Departed easily.

Sorry Spidey but The Departed excels here.

Departed felt the need to kill everyone to try and make you care. We cared about Spidey and his crew without the fake emotion and gore.

Enjoyed watching Martin Sheen in both.

Whoops. Wrong Spider-Man.

Love both, but Departed doesn’t have a cringy love story that degraded the film!

The departed

"Departed felt the need to kill everyone to try and make you care." - was right two years ago and is still correct today. Spidey wins.

departed by a massive landslide

Departed stomps any Marvel film.

I love Spider-Man but The Departed beats even the best of Marvel, Lol @ the Marveltard quoting himself
