It was no contest with this week’s winner a near-unanimous choice. The lowest vote getter was The Room with 10 points, followed by Funny Girl with 14, Boys from Brazil with 16, Split Image with 17, Picnic with 18, Southern Comfort with 19, and Born on the Fourth of July with 21. Which leaves this week’s top film, with 29 points (the same number as last week) and going into my queue, La Dolce Vita. I will receive it next week to be watched that subsequent weekend (or watched this weekend if I have time) and reviewed in The Morning After to be posted on February 28.

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.

I’m also going to throw in a couple of selections I haven’t seen from Oscar history. To select the years from which I’ll contribute, I will randomly select two years and then look at the Best Picture race and choose a film there I have not yet seen.

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