Instead of writing play-by-play that’s not very interesting, I’m now going to just list the winners in a chart with their numbers. Suspiria (1977) Black Christmas (1974) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Final Destination (2000) The Ring (1998) [REC] (2007) I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) Peeping Tom (1960) The Hills Have Eyes…

We didn’t have a lot of participation last week, but the two who did picked the same feature for their top position. But, we must always start at the bottom. In sixth place is A CHristmas Story with 4 points. Tied for fourth are 1953’s The Little Fugitive and 1993’s The Secret Garden (back in…

It was slim pickens the last couple of weeks as few people had seen enough of the Shakespeare films to voice a vote, meaning we have only a pair of votes leading to a victor. Coming in eighth with 3 points is the 1965 version of Othello followed closely by the 1952 version with 4…

There wasn’t enough participation this week, so I’m extending last week’s polling one week.

A strange collection of “modern” westerns were submitted this week. Tied for 7th place are Friendly Persuasion and The Missing with 10 points each. In sixth, with 13 points is Jeremiah Johnson. Open Range earned 17 points to land in fifth place. The fourth place finisher is Ride the High Country with 21 points. Tied…

Teaching me to be more clear in my semi-esoteric suggestions, my categories was Movies about Movies. I had meant Movies about the Moviemaking process, not movies about the movies. So, this week’s winner is a direct byproduct of my miscommunication. This is also a week of ties with three sets of ties featuring seven of…

We begin this week’s rundown of votes for Disaster Films with Volcano taking a super low 6 points for eighth place. In seventh, with 11, is The Andromeda Strain followed in sixth by In Old Chicago with 14 points. 16 points went to fifth place finisher San Francisco. Fearless takes fourth with 21 points while…

This week’s selection of sci-fi from which our readers had to choose, leaned more towards sci-fi/horror than traditional science fiction. Here are the ranks: Coming in last place with 11 points was 1987’s Innerspace, a film I remember watching in the theater, but which I don’t remember much of. One point higher with 12 points…

Adventure films have different meanings to different people. This eclectic group of ten films that competed for this week’s placement represent a wide variety of eras and genres. Not managing to rank very highly with this group, Mad Max came in tenth with 9 points, beaten only by The Hurricane, a film which had all…

Two 1960 films place at the bottom of our chart, starting with Eyes Without a Face with nine points, surpassed at 12 points by House of Usher in eighth place. In seventh, The Curse of Frankenstein earned 14 points beat out for sixth by The Mummy with 16 points. House of Wax sits squarely in…

Tying for 7th place, we have The Importance of Being Earnest (the play of which I worked backstage on back in college) and The Mouse That Roared (1959) with 18 points each. Another tie just above it, for fifth place, is between The Ladykillers and The Man in the White Suit with 21 points each.…

The bottom five contenders were neck-and-neck, but far enough below the top three so as not to have a chance. Finishing eighth was the most recent title on the list, Brick with 12 points. One point higher in seventh was 1948’s Act of Violence. Next up the list was Carlito’s Way which earned 14 points.…

The final week of the Oscar series has led us to the following showdown. Being Julia is the first film to earn all last-place votes, placing it in sixth. The remainder of films were fairly close together. The Insider came in fifth with 13 points. With 14 points, You Can Count on Me came in…

Ties have been abundant in recent weeks, so here are the results of last week’s vote, resulting in another tie for first place. At the very bottom of the list, in tenth place, is Six Degrees of Separation with a sad 8 points. Tied for eighth with 12 points each are A Fish Called Wanda…

In spite of a tie for first place, the choice was made easier for me by the second film not being available on Netflix. Starting with low man on the totem pole, we have Gene Hackman in Hoosiers with 13 points. With 15 points, fifth place goes to recently-remade Arthur. Beating it out by one…
