Thanks again to Fooky for giving me the numbers for the penultimate game in this round.
Game 13 was a straight fight between Detective Frank Drebin and Doctor Indiana Jones, and rather suprisingly the man from Police Squad came out on top. Both progress through to the next round unlike The Terminator who definitely won't be back, along with King Jaffe Joffer who won't be Coming to America after all.

I'm out, not a fan of any of those films.

Nightmare on Elm Street was ok, nothing great. Love Freddy as a character though. Best movie in the series IMO is Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
Beverly Hills Cop is great, love Axel Foley, and also have a soft spot for Billy Rosewood, I thought Judge Reinhold played the role perfectly.
Vacation is also great, I loved Chevy Chase in his pomp. Also plus marks for Beverly D'Angelo's gratuitous titty shot in the shower
But my vote goes to Poltergeist, it scared me shitless as a kid, it also has a great musical score, and loved Craig T. Nelson's performance as the dad.

Beverly Hills Cop gets my vote.
Poltergiest and National Lampoons are close behind but Beverly Hills Cop is better than both. I think National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is the best Lampoons film.
