Note : Top 2 films move on!
My first instinct is to vote for Clockwork Orange and 12 Monkeys, but I can't leave The Fly out in the cold...
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
Will have to think on this a bit.
This is such a loaded group. Had to go with Back to the Future and A Clockwork Orange.
The Fly
12 Monkeys
Clockwork Orange
Twelve Monkeys

Might catch flak for this, but...
Voted for The Fly and Clockwork Orange
At least you voted for Clockwork Orange!
Hope it'll still be here in round 4.

All are great films and are worthy of being in the third round. Hope if some if you haven't seen War of the Worlds (2005), you'll check it out now.
You convinced me to watch WotW, Pablo. Will definitely be watching that soon.
Back to the Future and 12 Monkeys
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Back to the Future and Twelve Monkeys.
An honourable mention for Time Bandits.
A little surprised to see Twelve Monkeys tied for first. Great film, no doubt. But over Clockwork Orange? I feel it's a little below that.
Twelve Monkeys has definitely been a tournament darling. I had no idea everyone here loved it this much! Impressive.
12 Monkey is a better film than Clockwork Orange. My love for Clockwork Orange has more to do with the novel than the movie.

I thought the movie was outstanding, and the novel unreadable. I hated both anyway.
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idgaf what anyone says, Clockwork Orange is a masterpiece. The phrase tour de force exists for films like that. You can freeze the film at any point and have that image turned into a painting.
I really need to watch A Clockwork Orange again, it's been forever since I've seen it. That said, I really do hope 12 Monkeys makes it on, it's a personal favorite of mine.

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Clockwork Orange makes an obvious point about crude psychology. 12 Monkeys subtly deconstructs the whole science.
It also very cheekily shines the spotlight on the nature of people practicing 'good behavior' only out of fear of divine retribution. In the same way that some act decently (or rather, keep their animalistic urges in check) so as to not draw the ire of a higher power, so too does Alex keep himself in check to not trigger the effects of the Ludovico technique.
