There's going to be a movie that should have at least 18 more points than it's going to end up getting.
The Cranes are Flying is the most recent watch to show up on my ballot. Allaby recommended it for me about three months ago, watched it twice in two days and it's that rare movie that you love instantly. The only reason it isn't no. 1 is because it is such a recent watch.
Also from my ballot: Oldboy (17), Das Boot (20), Downfall (21). A little surprised Downfall is as high as it is. Not complaining just didn't think it was THAT highly regarded.
My expectations for this list have been completely blown out of the water. Still holding out for a Tinto Brass appearance.
- Yep
- Yep (The Cranes are Flying)
- A Virgin Spring
- Yep

- No
- Doubt it
- Maybe
- yeah, no
- Yojimbo
- I thought it would for sure, now not so sure
- Rififi
- Diabolique
- Still think this will make it (Oldboy)
- Porco Rosso
- Kinda leaning no
- Still possible (Das Boot)
- Thought it would have shown up by now (Downfall)
- 50-50 on this one, of course there's only a 1% chance of that
- To quote Shep Proudfoot - nope
- Dear god no!
- No way in hell
