Big words. You literally never voted right.

I know Alien is the right answer, and if it was a tie, I couldn't in good conscience pick Office Space, but ya, gonna pick Office Space

Man, I love both films, but I can't not give it to Alien. Shame there has to be a loser in this matchup.

Facts, I usually agree with you but your dissing of my fellow Office Space voters is just too much.

This is what I think of your hot take:

Can't get more wrong than that

I think Alien is a great movie but I prefer Office Space. Office Space is an example of a comedy where the writing team actually tries to be funny. Office Space, and other 90s comedies, get sarcasm right, instead of more recent comedies where constant negativity is somehow supposed to be funny.

Alien is a top film, but I think that I prefer keeping a space for a good 90s comedy. A time capsule of actual humour and better writing in movies in general.

Alien wins this vote and will move on to the Top 10.
