You are correct of course, so if we redo a decade it should start at the 1990s.



We're gonna need a romance one eventually, might as well get it out of the way.


Calling In the Mood for Love as the winner.



I think it would be cool to have two separate dueling thread countdowns the more I think about it!
This turned out better than I could explain.



@John W Constantine You seem like a lively MoFo, any interest in hosting the next countdown? It's easy in that you wouldn't have to great the images or text for the reveals, ya just got to be enthusiastic about it.

I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
I prefer doing things we haven't done over redoing things we have.


(Although animation and comic book probably do need a re-do sometime soon).


My preference is musicals, obviously.


Other suggestions:


Gay films
Gay musicals
Films from specific countries (e.g. French films, Japanese films)
French musicals
Films that aren't on any other list
Musicals that aren't on any other list
Romance films
Romantic musicals
Historical dramas
Historical musicals


And... did I mention musicals?



I saw 1980-90s action films listed. That could really go places.



I vote for musicals, not because I want it, but because it needs to be done.
Musicals has been on the table for a long time...and has been a popular choice on the polls just missing out by a point or two.






Musicals definitely seems like the logical next choice. The thought of watching three months of them just feels like a nightmare.

With that said if we start redoing decade countdowns it should start with the first one we ever did 1970s. Then we could still continue with never done ideas, genre/underseen movies/etc to help keep the countdowns fresh and innovative.

It would also be great to compare and to see how the tastes of the 70s have changed with all the new members.



Pretty sure most of the votes for musicals are fake alt accounts from a few people. We need open balloting to fight the corruption!
OMG! You just read my mind, well sorta of When @Yoda sets up the poll it would be great if it was one vote for one person, not multiple choice. How about trying it that way this time?
