I just recently bought Backdraft and I have never seen the movie, although I have been on the ride at Universal Studios lol. I own and have seen Ladder 49 several times.

 

Being that they are both movies about fire...which is better?

I don't think it's a question that it's Backdraft.

Like I said...haven't seen it yet. But, I will be starting it sometime here soon tonight.

Without a doubt, Backdraft.

Trust me, you'll agree once you have. Actually watched it myself just the other day.

 

"You go... we go"

I know a guy who was in Backdraft, so I'll have to give it to Backdraft.

Backdraft is awesome. I'm partial to this movie due to the aspect of growing up around a firehouse. My dad got in trouble once for taking me on a run because my mom was late getting there to pick me up. I was about 2 at that time.

For me, it was "Ladder 49". Granted, both are great movies, but I thought that Ladder was a bit more realistic. It hit closer to home for me, as a firefighter.

About to start it...

Neither are particularly great films, but Backdraft is much better.

Just finished watching Backdraft and I really thought it was good. I really enjoy movies like this and Ladder 49 of course. I am glad that I have now added it to my collection.

 

I thought Kurt Russell did a great job with this one.

 

My vote went to Backdraft now that I am seen them both, and I fee a little foolish for even making the thread.

They are both crap, but in the grand scheme of things Ladder 49 is a much crappier version of crap.

Hands Down!

They are both crap, but in the grand scheme of things Ladder 49 is a much crappier version of crap.

 

Why do feel like they are both crap?

 

Poor plot, bad acting, or etc? Just wondering your reasoning.
