'Wonderful, just have a back-up profession - like welding.'" - Robin Williams, 1998 Good Will Hunting

[Avro Arrow]

Much like the Academy, I made my selections without seeing all of the movies.

Great Scott, Marty! The winner is Back to the Future. Congrats, @Avro Arrow ; the next contest is yours.

I would start an acceptance speech, but I would probably just get my mic cut off. So instead, I will just say: Thanks for the votes! It was a really close one!

The good news is, I already have an idea for the next contest. I will hopefully be able to find some time to set it up on the weekend!
