Submit your five favorite films from this year and in a week I will give you a top ten. IMDb dates will be used.

The point system is as follows

1st Place-5 points
2nd Place-4 points
3rd Place-3.5 points
4th Place-3 points
5th Place-2.5 points

There will be no restrictions on short films. A minimum of three films must be listed. You may edit your post freely up until the time that the voting is closed, which will be in about a week. I will give at least 24 hours warning before tallying votes.

You may begin now.

2006 ... yes.

And I'll do 2007 as well unless people think it's too early to cover that year.

I think it'll be interesting to see what gets in now that the dust as settled a bit. Although, I'm willing to bet $$$ that I know what will be one and two for 2007.

I need to get this done today. I have a busy weekend (son's birthday, complete with annoying party at Chuck E Cheese). Any more ballots? I'll keep it open until noon ET and then start tabulating.

Kurosawa Fan · 10-16-2008, 12:59 PM

Took a little longer than I thought it would, but I'm tabulating as we speak. Consider this closed.

Wow. We have a real top ten! That was unexpected.

TETRO - I applaud Coppola for making a genuinely strange movie. When it works, it works. CHÉRI - Average period piece, but worth seeing for Michelle Pfeiffer's incredibly acting - and body.
