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 I lock the thread, which will be in about a week. I will give at least 24 hours warning before locking the thread.

You may begin now.

3 is the minimum. If you find at least three films to be worth your support, then you are welcome to participate. What you should not do is pad your ballot with films you are lukewarm on.

Okay. Good enough for me. Upon second thought there are only two movies I like from this year out of the seven I've seen. So I'll have to pass.

I don't see any Le Boucher on that list. I'm sorry boner, but I'm gonna ride you until you give in. The movie needs more support!

That sucks. If I still had my copy I'd send it to you.

Melville · 01-26-2008, 02:02 PM

I'm not a huge fan of any movies I've seen from this year, but at least I can scrape together a list, which is more than I could do in 1980.

1. Patton

4. The Phantom Tollbooth
5. The Conformist

Queued: Trash. I've had it on a wishlist for a long time anyway; more accurately, since I've seen Flesh. I have a hunch this will be better.
