I owned CFBTL and TS in a small (4 pin) collection. Shadow theme and movie weren't very special but the pin itself is great, fairly deep and for me it was very challenging. Although not as inexpensive as they used to be, still overall a very solid bang for buck pin. It's very unique and even though I thought the move was mediocre the animations and sounds are very well integrated from the movie.

I also really like Creech including the 50's feel of a drive in movie theater, gameplay, art and sounds. Some don't like that is has only a two ball multiball, but it's challenging and I never minded that. Hard to find one in great or even shape for a decent price. I'm really sorry I sold mine and miss it probably as much, if not more than any pin I've ever sold. But I only have room for 4 pins and so keep even my favorite ones around 1.5-2 years with the exception of Pinbot which I had for 6-7 years.

GB theme does nothing for me at all but theme and art are always subjective and you might really like it so could be a good choice. I admit I haven't played one so I have no real idea how good it is. I'm glad to see a Trudeau Stern pin getting some excitement as WWE was very bad and Mustang was okay, IMO. However, it's hard to get a feel this early what is hype versus the long term desire for how this game will stand up in home use settings and small collections.

Just seems too early to tell if GB will be a great pin overtime or if in a few months when the hype and honeymoon phase is over for many, how it will be seen. However, others rankings aren't vital to what you might or might not like. That said if GB is your dream theme and much more interesting than the other two, maybe that's a great choice for you. If there's anyway you could play all 3 that could really help.
