My heart breaks in battles like this one. Sorry Strangelove. We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when. But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.

Way too hard a choice!

Stanley Kubrick vs. Robert Zemeckis? Seriously, you have to think about that? Peter Sellers vs. Michael J. Fox? Seriously, you aren't immediately sure of the answer? Terry Southern and Buck Henry vs.... whoever the hell wrote BttF? Seriously, that's a fair fight? I apologize for the sarcasm, but DR. STRANGELOVE is as good as movies can possibly get. BACK TO THE FUTURE isn't even the best movie starring Michael J. Fox.

You may be cool, Doc Brown, but you're no Buck Turgidson.

I loved Dr. Strangelove, but I loved Back To The Future more.

Have to go with Kubrick.

Really? Are we really debating this? I like Back to the Future, it's a fun entertaining movie, but it really hasn't aged well. Dr. Strangelove on the other hand is still relevant and funny after 40 years. Plus, it features probably my two favorite comedic performances of all time in George C. Scott and Peter Sellers.

Back to the Future may be fun but Dr. Strangelove is damn near perfect.

Ouch, Back to the Future is one of my favorite adventure films of all time. Dr. Strangelove, my favorite dark comedy. But i actually created "time machines" with my toys... Back the Future for setting my nerdy ways. Which I apparently value more than my sick joke side.

BTTF is one the most fun movies ever, but it can't compete with Dr Strangelove.

BTTF all the way. After viewing all of AFI's top 100 movies, Dr. Strangelove was one of the worst on the list...

i agree with TheEgant. BTTF is a classic and is a fun movie. Dr.Stranglelove was a dull and boring movie

Who ever thinks Dr Strangelove is dull or a bad movie has no business watching movies. Back to the Future is awesome but Stangelove is the greatest movie ever1

This is a much easier than people are making it out to be. Dr. Strangelove in a heartbeat.

i havent even seen dr. strangelove but i know it wont be as good as back to the future. fuck that shit. im a lover of back to the future so thats where its at. i agree with casinoiscool, he seems very intelligent when it comes to movies

Back To The Future. Easy. I was completely bored and uninterested during Dr. Strangelove. This isn't even close, for me. Back To The Future is a classic, and while others might view Dr. Strangelove the same way, I just didn't feel that. I had to fight the urge to stop watching it.

Back to the Future is more entertaining

I have been staring at this matchup for several minutes now....and still haven't come to an answer. This is just UNFAIR, Flickchart. Unfair!

"The Back to the Future" party are trying to undermine "Dr. Strangelove" and its precious bodily fluids and they are going to have to answer to the Coca-Cola company with all that preverted nonsense. Love both but not really a close call. No shame in not being up to a Kubrick film.

Like the matchup. BTTF was about as much fun as one could have with a sci-fi/comedy, but Strangelove is simply legendary. Strangelove is 21 years older, but strangely enough, it aged better than BTTF. Absolutely love both of these gems though. They're just on two different wavelengths.

This is heavy.

Love Dr. Strangelove, but it's got nothing on BTTF.

OMG! I think BTTF is gonna win!

I saw bttf for the first time recently and didn't really care for it, but strangelove is a masterpiece

BTTF is one of my personal favorites, but Dr. Strangelove is way better
