It was a tight race this week with a mere point separating first and second, but as always, let’s start at the bottom. Born on the Fourth of July got virtually no love ending up with a record-low 5 points. Just above that, but not faring much better, with 8 points is A Tale of Two Cities. Five points higher with 13 was our fourth place finisher Z. Above that in third was David Copperfield with 17 points. Then, beating out second place finisher Great Expectations at 21 points to 20 points, was All the President’s Men. All the President’s Men goes into my queue. I will receive it next week to be watched that subsequent weekend and reviewed in The Morning After to be posted on May 16 (due to a backlog, I may not be able to get the review posted by that time).

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).
