Spinal · 02-13-2008, 07:56 PM

Submit your five favorite films from these two years 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 thread is locked, which will be in about a week. I will give at least 24 hours warning before locking the thread.

You may begin now.

That's okay. I'm sure IMDB used to say it was 1927.

It's cool, though, because my 1928 list was quite a bit weaker than my 1927 list.

I'd watch it on youtube, but all my experiences with watching feature length films in that format have been detrimental to them. I'll wait for better conditions.
