Pretty easy vote for "Strategy" for me hear. "The Time Bombed Skyscraped" is not a very good movie; no mystery and the action is sort of weird. Though it might be a bit better than 7 or 10, the words "underdeveloped" fit it very well.

I liked them about the same, actually. Movie 9 had the cool Kogoro scene, and Movie 1 had some nice Ran/Shinichi scenes and some good tense moments. Neither mystery is that great.

Movie 1's villain is a member of the "Detective Conan Disproportionate Response" club, which I respect, so I think I'll vote for that one.

Hmm, not sure which to choose yet. Both are okay, yet have their faults.

I enjoyed Strategy Above the Depths (I used to have a Titanic obsession :P ) more than Time-Bombed Tower.

Though Movie 9 isn't great by any stretch of the imagination, Movie 1 suffers from the unfortunate problem of being a bad movie with no mystery.
