When you have only four films to choose from, the likelihood of ties increases. Starting in fourth with 8 points, 3 points off the tie for first, is True Lies. In third is Insomnia with 10 points. Tied for first with eleven each are The Magnificent Seven and 12 Monkeys. As both are Oscar nominees, I’m going how to choose between genres and between western and sci-fi, my choice is easy. 12 Monkeys wins and 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 June 20 (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).
