A wider array of votes this week led to less disparity between votes, but not less competition. At the very bottom of the list with a scant 22 points was Brewster McCloud. Four points above that with 26 was That Touch of Mink. Four films followed in positions eight to five that were separated by…

Low film on this week’s total, with a sadly low 12 points, The Hasty Heart is not even close to ninth-place finisher Fiddler on the Roof with 19. Just above that is The Curse of the Demon with 21 points and then The Umbrellas of Cherbourg with 22. Another gap separates 7th and 6th with…

It was a solid race between pre-1980’s flicks with only one film after 1979 making the top 7. At the bottom is the ’90s novelty flick White Men Can’t Jump with 11 points. Following that film up was Sally Field’s Oscar-winning performance in Places in the Heart with 15. Two points higher is Spike Lee’s…

With a dismal 12 points, With a Song in My Heart is the lowest film on this week’s list. Above it at 17 points is The Roaring Twenties (the film, not the decade). The Train came in 7th at 22 points just behind Jerry Maguire with 23. Tied in fourth are Richard III and The…

Another week and another close race for the top spot. Starting at the bottom: Best Picture nominee The Sand Pebbles and 1973’s Sisters tied for the bottom spot with 12 points each followed by The Country Girl with 14 and Kurosawa’s Ran with 16. In the twenty-plus range, Seven Samurai earned the next highest points…

Not as tight as last week’s race, the top three vote-getters this week were fairly close and the rest were decently far behind. Wilson was eliminated for not being available on Netflix, leaving 9 films to get votes. Coming in at the bottom was Band of Outsiders with 12 points, followed closely by The Hill…

It was a supremely tight race for the top spot with only 7 points separating the winner and the film in sixth place. Starting at the bottom: The Divorcée and Chocolat got equal amounts of no love bottoming out with 8 points each. Punch-Drunk Love didn’t fare much better with a 9-point finish. From there,…

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…

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…

Another strong week of participation. I like it. Keep it up! This week, we had a hands-down winner, picking up 5 more points than its nearest rival. Second place with 24 points was Naked Lunch. In third, Plan 9 from Outer Space with 19 points. Three films tied for fourth, Barton Fink, The Last Detail…

Decent participation this week and so we have some varied results. Because of the placement of Red River on one ballot, Nightmare Alley barely misses out on almost being first. And with so many John Wayne movies in such a short period of time, I am temporarily closing submissions for John Wayne films. The Searchers…

Another week with only a pair of participants. Sure, it’s up one over the prior time, but it’s not near our busiest. So, I hope more people will start contributing soon. It wasn’t even a close competition between the two. Three films tied for second place out of four, leaving a clear winner for first.…

Before I went on hiatus, the vote ended up being 1 person, so his top pick wins. Oh! What a Lovely War has been added to my queue. 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…

I wanted to let everyone know that I’m putting this feature on hold for a week or two. I’m now three weeks behind on viewing for this feature and figure I should probably get caught up before digging myself deeper. My apologies to everyone and I assure it will return.

There seemed to be a good deal of agreement that I needed to see one particular film above the others. But let’s hit up the second and third place entries. In second was The Man from Laramie followed very closely by a tie for third between Touch of Evil and 2010’s True Grit. Once again,…
