Here are the results of last week’s poll.
- The Devil and Daniel Webster (All That Money Can Buy)
- Here Comes Mr. Jordan
- The Lady Eve
The Devil and Daniel Webster 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):
- Below, please provide your suggestions to add to my Netflix queue as specified.
- 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.
- Now, Voyager
- Random Harvest
- The Magnificent Ambersons
- Woman of the Year
NOTE: To Be or Not to Be was not available on Netflix. I have seen The Gold Rush, but missed the fact that was Oscar eligible in 1942 instead of 1925 when it was first released.
I’m giving you a list of films from a given Oscar year that I have not yet seen. I’d like each person to choose two from the list to champion for the next week. I’m 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.
