After a very long hiatus, I have caught up on nearly all of the Feed the Queue entries I had gotten behind on. There are a couple more I still need to get through, but they have been on “Long Wait” with Netflix for a very long time. So, I thought it was time to get things going again.

I’ve posted the four films submitted from the final post last year and will call for votes on these. In addition, I’m asking for a new set of films per our usual rules (which can be found below if you’ve forgotten). If I receive two or fewer votes by this time next week, I’ll extend the voting deadline a week to remind people to get in here and post again. Hopefully, everyone will be ready to get going again. We only have three more submitted categories to go through and then I’m going to be going on an Oscar odyssey that I’m sure you’ll love (I’m exaggerating, of course).

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.
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.
