Do we declare a winner, a tie (since they're different types of themes) or duke out to the inevitable conclusion? If the latter, I + OHMSS and - NDIB

You forgot to account for what I said I'd add if we were still at it.

I really can't choose at this point. Both are fantastic.

I suspect this could end up being a draw.

I'd say draw. I'm not inclined to preference either of them.

I dont know why, but i've never really liked the Carly Simon song...........yet the upbeat theme from OHMSS really gives that film a great start!
