One is the loneliest number... except when paired with 32

The Comfort of Strangers
The 1-Pointers

I know for my 25th film, I don't use it as a one-pointer, but rather a genuine pick.

Happily my #25 choice was not a one-pointer. I am not super confident that it'll make the collective Top 100, but very glad at least one other MoFo named it.
As for my favorite of this list's one-pointers...
Saw it in 70mm a couple times when it was released. Wowza.

Im a little surprised The Basketball Diaries got only one point. I havent watched it in a long time but I remember it being good.
Also haven't seen it in a while, but as far as I'm concerned, this is still Leo's finest performance (closely followed by Gilbert Grape and Hollywood)
As for the others, I think I've seen four more... Fear, Bill & Ted's, the Bond one, and Untamed Heart.

Is Dragonheart the one where Sean Connery voices the dragon? Stars Dennis Quaid if I remember correctly? If so, also seen that one.
Also my #25 didn't make it, so high five to whoever else voted for it.

I want this lizard. I want to own this lizard. And now I have to put this lizard into the sequel of my avatar's source sake.

Baraka's pretty special, as is Samsara (2011) from the same director
I did entertain a cult favorite for my 25th slot, one that most folks find disturbing (and it is) so I knew I'd be alone with it (no one else voted for it, so yes it would have wound up among the 1-pointers). The movie I have there instead is pretty amazing I think - but it only showed up on 1 other ballot. So, my mere point was no help at all (but even if I gave it the max of 25, it still would have been left out in the cold - it needed 3 or 4 more voters)

Huge props to whoever selected Stalingrad, that's one helluva a WWII movie and it's told from the invading Germany armies viewpoint on the Eastern Front, Soviet Union. I wish I had room for that movie myself on my ballot.

The War Zone, directed by actor Tim Roth, good picture, well-acted, but man, that was some difficult viewing, the subject matter is painful. https://letterboxd.com/film/the-war-zone/
OOF! That's a rough watch. A good movie, but not for the squeamish.
I'm surprised my one point pick isn't up there. Meaning someone else voted for it. It'll be interesting to see if it made the top 100.
Wild stab in the dark, but was Mother Goose Rock N Rhyme Moviegals?

These are all genuinely solid films, so methinks that they were not necessarily "gimmick" one-pointer votes, but genuine picks.

I'm going to guess Legend of the Drunken Master, because it's my favorite of the 1 pointers.
Shout out to whoever voted for Stay Tuned. Extremely campy fun.
Life is certainly underrated, and a very good prison film. Most films of that genre doesn't give nearly as much attention to the side characters, or humanize the majority of the prisoners as much.
Mother Goose Rock N Rhyme is Shelley Duvall at her hottest. I will die on that hill.

A few who passed on... Barbara Stanwyck, Greta Garbo, David Lean, Frank Capra, Satyajit Ray, Anthony Perkins, Audrey Hepburn, Lillian Gish, Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Burt Lancaster, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Marcello Mastroianni, Robert Mitchum, Jimmy Stewart, Akira Kurosawa - and Brandon Lee is accidentally killed on the set of the Crow.
I would just add Marlene Dietrich.
And also:
Jacques Demy

I'm going to guess [as Citizen Rules' 1 pointer] Legend of the Drunken Master, because it's my favorite of the 1 pointers...
That's probably one of the least likely movies for me, I don't like martial art films.

One of the 1-pointers is mine. It was definitely going on my list, though I did keep flipping it with my #24 (which I suspect I am also the only one to vote for).
