Finding no quarter on these lists, Rachel, Rachel came in tenth on this week’s rankings with only 12 points. Just above it were House of Games with 15, Bugsy and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof next up with 16 each, Mean Streets above them with 18, Goodbye, Mr. Chips next with 22 points, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly tied David Copperfield for second with 30 points each, leaving Touch of Evil as the number one film with 35 points, a near-perfect score.I will receive it next week to be watched that subsequent weekend and reviewed in The Morning After to be posted on March 7.
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).
