Here are the results of last week’s poll.

12. Little Fugitive (1953)
9. Blood Simple (1984)
8. Nowhere Boy (2010)
5. sex, lies and videotape (1989)
5. Stranger Than Paradise (1984)
3. The Other Son (2012)

Little Fugitive wins and goes into my queue.

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.

• Imitation of Life (1959)
• Rachel, Rachel (1968)
• Raise the Red Lantern (1991)
• The Turning Point (1977)

This Week’s Category: Special Series, Part I – The Academy Awards, 1927/28 and 1928/29

What I’m going to do is list out the films of a given year I have not yet seen. While I know some of them will be “lost” films, I’d like each person to choose two from the list to champion for the next week. Because the earlier years had more losses and less wide availability, I’m going to combine years. I’m also not including documentaries, short films or foreign language films that were not nominated in other Oscar categories. Eventually, there may be some films included that I’ve seen but not in such a long time that they deserve a revisit.

Here’s the list for the above.
