Here are the results of last week’s poll.

  1. Her
  2. The Wolf of Wall Street
  3. Philomena
  4. Before Midnight
  5. Prisoners
  6. The Book Thief

Her wins and goes into my queue.

Here’s the deal: every week, I will be calling for suggestions of films to be added to my Netflix queue. Each person makes one suggestion and one alternate (in case I have seen one of your suggestions). The next week, when I call for new suggestions, we begin a one-week voting period to select the film to be placed immediately into my Netflix queue to be reviewed the weekend after (because I’ll already have my Netflix queue selections for the coming weekend). Then, you’ll find out what I thought in my weekly Morning After feature on Monday morning.

Sometimes a genre gets stuck in the rotation and it makes for a rough viewing schedule. Starting this week, I’m going to be asking for suggestions that fit a specific genre so each week can be a bit spicy. The genre or event listed each week will be posted at the end of this post.

To help decide what to pick, here is a list of what I’ve seen (or at least that I have personally logged).

Full List of Films I’ve Seen (updated through 3/10/11; a small number of titles may be missing still)
Here’s what you need to post today (and through next Wednesday):

  1. Below, please provide your suggestions to add to my Netflix queue as specified.
  2. Next, please rate each of the following entries in order of preference. Item 1 will be most preferred, 2 next most preferred and so forth.
  • Big Bad Wolves
  • Filth
  • Force Majeure
  • The Double
  • The Two Faces of January
  • White Bird in a Blizzard

I’m giving you a list of films from a given Oscar year that I have not yet seen. I’d like each person to choose two from the list to champion for the next week. I’m not including documentaries, short films or foreign language films that were not nominated in other Oscar categories. Eventually, there may be some films included that I’ve seen but not in such a long time that they deserve a revisit.

This Week’s Category: Second Place Finishers

I know you guys can’t actually recommend films in this batch since many of them have not been seen. I don’t expect you to have an opinion on the quality of them, just an opinion on which look most interesting. I hope to get more screeners in the coming weeks to make these choices better. Until then, here are the second place vote-getters from the earliest days of Feed the Queue for you to select from.
