How many of those who voted are 25-40 year old males who have never had sex?

Does sex with a cowboy in a tent count?

LOL. The Dark Knight better than the Godfather 1 and 2, schindler's list, etc..

ok......

it'll move down to 15-20 in a couple weeks, its just how it works.

But star wars?
I watched that again a couple of years ago and the acting is terrible.
