Battle of the Movie Posters

[baldbantam]

Ok, it's been a while since we've done one of these so I thought I'd start it going again.

To enable everybody to vote regardless of whether they have seen the movie or not, this battle is based purely on the look of the poster and not the quality of the movie. You can vote without even knowing what the movie is about.

First to 5 votes wins. If we haven't got a result after 24 hours of posting a battle whichever is winning at that point goes through to the next round. If necessary I will cast a deciding vote.

We are using whichever image is being used by Wikipedia, unless for some reason there is a much better known poster which they aren't using, so although some movies may have more than one poster that will be the basis.

So, first off:

Mad Max

Airplane!

By the way, not that it's compulsory, but if people want to say why they prefer one over the other it'll make it a bit more interesting.

I'll count the vote, but we're actually voting on the posters rather than the films and actors in them.
