Weekly Poll Results: Best Michael Douglas Movie

pollresultsmichaeldouglas

As the press continues to debate whether or not Michael Douglas actually said that he contracted throat cancer from oral sex, it’s time to look back over the results of last week’s poll. According to Film Junk readers, the dark comedy Falling Down is the best Michael Douglas movie of all time (and surely one of Joel Schumacher’s best as well). I’m a little surprised it got so many votes, but it is definitely a fun little cult classic. David Fincher fans also lifted The Game to a close second, followed by Oliver Stone’s Wall Street. ’80s adventure flick Romancing the Stone and Steven Soderbergh’s Traffic rounded out the top 5. At the bottom of the list, it was a three-way tie between The American President, The China Syndrome and Coma. Do you agree with these results?

1. Falling Down — 20%
2. The Game — 19%
3. Wall Street — 15%
4. Romancing the Stone — 12%
5. Traffic — 9%
6. Wonder Boys — 6%
6. Basic Instinct — 6%
8. Black Rain — 5%
9. Fatal Attraction — 3%
10. War of the Roses — 2%
11. The American President — 1%
11. The China Syndrome — 1%
11. Coma — 1%

    Would “Falling Down” really be considered a cult classic though? It actually did pretty good box office and was on TV like allllllllll the time for a solid decade or so. I don’t think anyone had to discover it, because the audience was there for it the whole time.

    I seriously don’t get the love for The Game. That movie was too damn silly and is riddled with plotholes.

  • Deven Science

    The American President was actually a really good movie. It’s just that he’s made several really good flicks.

    Falling down will stand the test of time.
