A couple of points:
- The biggest hurdle is that you need to have watched both movies to really decide between them - with a simple image voting site, the judgement can be instant. Movie buffs will likely enjoy it, more casual movie watchers like myself probably won't get far.
- related to the above: it needs to be easier/more obvious how to skip a pair.
- to really make it sticky, you should offer something to the hardcore set. In a kittenwars, that's pretty obvious - people can upload pictures of their cats, and keep coming back to see how they do. It doesn't translate very well to movies, because people don't really add "their" movies - and there's even less emotional attachment to a "pairing" of movies. It's mildly interesting, but not something you want to check obsessively throughout the day. You need a way for people to keep score and know when they're "winning".
Which movie is better IS an interesting argument - but the point is often to show off one's knowledge of movies, which this site doesn't really let you do.
How about this: when you create a fight, you can state which movie you think is better, or estimate a percentage win for each movie. Then, your "score" is how many people agree with you through the blind voting on the home page. The more matchups you add, and the closer your initial guess, the better your "score". Add a leaders list, and you're getting places now.
