DPAD Top Movies Face/Off Round 2 #42: Mulholland Drive vs Mallrats

[Mickmrly]

Welcome to the 2nd Round of the DPAD Top Movies Face/Off series!

The two movies facing off for your vote today are:

Mulholland Drive (2001)

Mallrats (1995)

​

Mallrats! My favorite Kevin Smith film. While the whole movie is gold, the dating game scenes alone are brilliantly humorous.

I love the smell of commerce in the morning!

Mallrats is fun but come on.

Mallrats is fun but come on.

Watching Mallrats feels like hanging out with old friends. It's a perfect 'hangout movie'. That rare quality should not be overlooked.

Mallrats like a motherfucker

I blame @teezzy if David Lynch loses to Kevin Smith.

 

[GreyHorace]

Never seen Mallrats, but even then I'd vote Mulholland Drive over it. I can't stand Kevin Smith.

Mulholland Drive is fucking disturbing, but damn if it isn't a well shot and well acted film (Naomi Watts is fantastic in it). I'm not really a David Lynch fan but the guy does know his craft.

 

[Arkam]

S.O.S. to anyone who can save Mallrats

 

[Mickmrly]

I haven't seen either, but Mallrats has the My Name is Earl guy and his brother (in the show) as well. I think that is enough to put it as my favourite.

Funnily enough, right next to my street is Mulholland Drive. I guess someone liked the movie.

At the close of voting both movies were tied, so there will be a rematch on Saturday.
