Definitely Quarter of Silence. Not one of my favorite, but it had plenty of good points (great scenery) and some genuinely heart-wrenching moments. Eleventh Striker was a confused jumble of junk that got worse as it went on (well, it got better briefly, but then got much worse).

oh and of course posting of opinions/reasons for voting are encouraged!

15

Good scenery, some emotional and funny moments but a rather average case. Still, 16 had an even worse case with a lame ending (where as 15's was at least decent) and poor pacing as well.

16, less DBs than 15 , although they ruined the ending in 16, but still they had less screen time
Every time I want to give up on DC, it manages to bring me back, it brings me back feelings I know that I will never ever feel or live again.

16, though I don't have a good reason since it was pretty...not good.

Movie 15 without a doubt!
There's some emotion there, and i love the ending!
16, it's ok, but not nearly as good!

15, mostly because I liked what happened it it more (boy in coma wakes up, seems to be targeted, bombs not being the main focus til the end ::), and the avalanche scene). And partly because I'm not the biggest fan of sports, so a movie focused around soccer doesn't appeal to me as much. :V

15... mainly because I don't really have any idea what happened in 16. Some things exploded and then the totally suspicious guy turned out to actually be the murderer, which is a plot twist in DCland.

Also, 15 had some gorgeous scenery and the coma kid's subplot was properly heartwrenching.

I forgot to add a timer to the poll like a true genius, but given the large margin of victory I don't have any qualms about declaring this faceoff over. "Quarter of Silence" advances to the next round!
