Here’s your chance to do things a different way. Why compare Meryl Streep to Denzel Washington when you can compare Meryl Streep to Meryl Streep? Why make one list, when you can make many?
Here’s how it works: For any category — horror movies, Meryl Streep films, etc. — we’ll provide you with a pair of movies. All you have to do is pick which one you think is better, after which we’ll show you two more. Once you make 10 choices, we’ll reveal the current results, based on the votes of all Times readers. We’ll update these lists every 15 minutes, so feel free to come back. And play as long as you like — every vote matters.
