Guess it didn't take that long... But, I found a film listed twice as Life is Beautiful and La vita e Bella are the same thing. Make sure that a vote for one is a vote for both please.

I know i'm late to give suggestions, but could i please add Hotel Rwanda to my list of 83? I believe everyone should see it at least once, to see that not everyone has the safety of their country to be who they want to be and do almost anything you want to do without consequence. Also that in the face of death that some people still do what is right.

I'll allow it.

I've got everyone except W's vote on a spreadsheet and I have it set up to tally votes for the movies so we can knock off the bottom, probelm is I'm without a computer for the moment, this is coming from work. Ha! Stick it to the man!. Anyway, As soon as I get my computer back I'll put W's in and post totals.

W wrote:I'll eventually have time to go through all of that. Right now I have to watch a 3 year old...

I knew I didn't imagine it.

Here is what I would like to do. Depending on how many lists we have, if a film is on 50% of them already, they automatically make the cut. If they do not we are going to go through a process of cutting them. I am open to taking suggestions as to how to cut them out, but I still think that final say should be up to the people that actually submitted lists Right now I am saying that we should each then submit a list of films that we say should be cut, and if 50% or more say to remove it, then it will be gone. I think this is what W had in mind, and I think it works. But the films that have been mentioned already on 50% of the lists should definitely be safe. Get back in business pack?

Is it too late to come up with a list ? If notI'm working on one right now...

Its not, Chien. You have to use the list of candidates we already came up with though, if you didn't know. It is on page 5.
