This is one of the toughest decision I've had to make, but I just can't get over how cool The Matrix is. Once Upon a Time is clearly better made, acted, pretty much everything, so this is really a personal pick.

My 11 and 12 pick. The Matrix just edges out Once Upon a Time in the West. Revolutionary and entertainingly fun Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne in their best roles. I also like Joe Pantoliano as Cypher.

The Matrix wins on this one. The entertainment factor is too high.

The Matrix hasn't really had any lasting impression on me. West is a top 5 masterpiece so this ain't close.

Once Upon a Time in the West

Once upon a Time in the West definitely...

This is tough. Once Upon a Time in the West is one of the best-crafted Westerns I've ever seen, but I've gone back to The Matrix so many times and I've enjoyed it so much every time.
