Tying for 7th place, we have The Importance of Being Earnest (the play of which I worked backstage on back in college) and The Mouse That Roared (1959) with 18 points each. Another tie just above it, for fifth place, is between The Ladykillers and The Man in the White Suit with 21 points each. The next four films were relatively close. Kind Hearts and Coronets places fourth with 23 points barely losing to Hot Fuzz with 24 points coming in third. In second place, with 26 points, we find 1983’s Local Hero which leaves Oscar winning A Fish Called Wanda in first place with 29 points. A Fish Called Wanda 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).
