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.

I'd say not quite enough Stage Door, but the lack of You Only Live Once votes is more disheartening.

Alright. Considering the amount of love this has now gotten and the absolutely pathetic amount of love for La Cava's masterful film, I edited my list. I don't care if that's "unethical," I love both films quite equally and this has become a necessary action.

Huh? Stage Door is on 6 people's lists. Make Way is on 5.

Placement and points though, definitely favor McCarey's film. I just feel after going through the two films I have a stronger desire to see La Cava's film do well as opposed to McCarey's. Maybe it is that one has a wide availability and still seems somewhat absent overall.
