@themanintheshoe: I hardly have time to update this due to many other commitments, plus this tournament can be quite popular.

Hey guys, another round coming up! Time for 2 of my favourite Sci-Fi films ever. Unfortunately, both these classic and brilliant films have painfully bad remakes.

Round 21.

The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)

No Caption Provided

VS

Planet of the Apes (1968)

No Caption Provided

It's a close one for me... I vote for Planet of the Apes.

0-1.

@veshark: I think when it involves teenagers (like Superbad, Sex Drive, American Pie) it makes more sense, especially with the people who would be considered nerds/outcasts. It's a huge stereotype that all teenage boys will do anything to lose their virginity, especially with a girl they have a crush on. Which many times is pretty accurate. Even young adults to middle aged men can be that obsessed with having sex in those type of films (40 Year Old Virgin, American Pie again), they're just trying to make a comedy using common stereotypes, which usually fails miserably.

Sex is probably the easiest way to sell a film, the usual formula for a big budget terrible action film is boobs, explosions and more boobs, which is a huge shame. Even the latest Star Trek film had that unnecessary scene where Alice Eve is in her underwear... Why? So they could put her on the trailers and sell a few more tickets.

You see it in comedy films constantly, especially when it comes to racial stereotypes, every single race is pretty much copy and pasted.

4-2, 40 Year Old Virgin the lead.

9-8 at the moment to #28! Maybe a draw in the works?

@veshark: Yeah, not everybody's cup of tea. I'm just trying to keep each round different and spread across various genres and eras! :D

3-0 to the 40 Year Old Virgin.
