Inspired by the popular online game that asks people to choose one movie from a group of four, One Choice… is pretty much the same game. Readers will be given four similar movies and asked to choose one. Now here’s the catch, the other three movies will be gone forever, wiped from your brain as if they never existed. Are you ready to theoretically live in a world where you have The Empire Strikes Back but not Star Wars or Return of the Jedi? What about the 1989 Batman movie but not Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight? The choice is yours, screenager, so choose wisely.
Ah, the Oscars. Any screenagers out there that still watch the ceremony each year? Regardless, the 2010s gave us some good Best Picture winners. So let’s make you choose which one you would actually love to remember.
Here are the 4 Movies:
The King’s Speech (2010)
