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 tallying votes.

You may begin now.

Wiseman's High School is a film that I'm pretty sure would make the top 10 if it were available on DVD, even in a stacked year like this. If it were a Criterion, I'd go so far as to guarantee it.

Unfortunately for you, I'm pretty much the authority on the quality of both Barbarella and The Lion in Winter.

I really need to see more from this year, but what I've seen (even the weaker films out of the 14 I've viewed) have some interesting and good moments. My Top 5 for this year is pretty damn stacked ratings wise. Here's my fav seven however:

1. Night of the Living Dead
2. Once Upon a Time in the West
3. The Producers
4. Bullitt
5. The Odd Couple
6. 2001: A Space Odyssey
7. Rosemary's Baby

I still can't believe I haven't seen Planet of the Apes yet. Me being a Charlton Heston fan that's a must. Perhaps Netflix will assist me in getting my hands on The Devil Rides Out.

Ah, I see. Interestingly enough with the exception of #3, #5 and #7 I've seen the rest of those films more than once. Considering that "Producers" and "The Odd Couple" have been shown on TCM before I have a good chance of watching them a second time.
