Another low turn-out week, and without surprise, another tie. And since the two tied films are neither available to watch online, I’m going to take Out of the Past since I skipped it in favor of another film previously. I will also start listing alternates in the polling to hopefully allow less opportunity for ties.I have added Out of the Past to my queue today and will receive it next week to be watched that subsequent weekend and reviewed in The Morning After to be posted on August 30.
Before we get to this week’s vote, let’s give a reminder to those who didn’t participate in the first week (or who don’t remember): 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.
Here’s what you need to post today (and through next Wednesday):
Below, please provide your suggestions to add to my Netflix queue.
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.
Picnic (1955)
The Ruling Class (1972)
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)
The Wicker Man (1973)
And for those clamoring for help deciding what I have and have not seen (at least that I have personally logged), here is a list that should help. Full List of Films I’ve Seen
Well, Mike, I’m not a Coens fan, so that’s the A1 primary reason the film is not on my list. And I have seen Blazing Saddles, not sure why it isn’t on there…probably forgot to whip it out and write it down.
New suggestion: The Lion in Winter (1968)
Alternate: Little Women (1933)
Preferential order:
1. Picnic (1955)
2. The Ruling Class (1972)
3. The Wicker Man (1973) – though I believe Netflix carries the edited U.S. release not the original British version which is also on DVD and better.
4. The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)
