Monday Movie Match-Up: Gump v. Button

I went to the movies the other night, but the theater caught on fire or something and they made everybody leave while emergency units putzed around for problems.  That sent me to another theater where we took in The Social Network, someone’s version of how Facebook got started.  I kind of had my mind blown when I was updating Facebook while watching a movie about the creation of Facebook.

My life has been a bit movie-centric lately after helping a friend run a couple of movie festivals.  Well, I love movies and people like to talk about them, so let’s bring a little Facebook action over here to the Educlaytion Nation.

We’ll put two movies up against each other and let you decide for all-time which is better.  There is no right or wrong answer unless I don’t agree with you. 

First up is Forrest Gump vs. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.  I’m especially excited about this first match-up because I get to show you the hilarious video The Curious Case of Forrest Gump.

You can also take this as a chance to practice for the upcoming elections.  Unfortunately, I know of no political candidates I would rather have running government than either of these two characters.

UPDATE: Wow, looks like Gump runs away with it after a jump from the mid-80s to over 90%  in the end.
