Vote in the 1994 Movies Showdown - Round 1

Some of the most popular films of all time — that's no exaggeration — were released in 1994, and we've gathered 64 of them to face off in the ultimate 30th anniversary showdown.

Frank Darabont’s adaptation of The Shawshank Redemption, based on a short story by Stephen King, was released into theaters almost exactly 30 years ago, and we thought that was as good a reason as any to run one of our showdown tournaments. Earlier this year, we put one together to highlight the 25th anniversary of the best movies of 1999, so now we’re doing the same for the most memorable films of 1994. Will the crowd-pleasing Shawshank run away with the title, or will another popular choice — or a dark horse candidate — give it a run for its money?

Cast your vote in the first round of the 1994 Movies Showdown before polls close on Thursday, September 26 at 10pm PT, and check back to see who’s made it to Round 2!
