Looks like I just barely missed the reveal, and I was here right next to the computer the entire time haha.
I certainly wasn't expecting to see Rebecca make it to #2, especially with only two points separating it from the top spot. I guess it kind of softens the blow from seeing Aguirre place so poorly. But this was a very solid HoF with really great films, and I would've been happy no matter what the results were.
Here was my list:
01. The Station Agent (2003)
02. Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972)
03. The Elephant Man (1980)
04. In the Mood for Love (2000)
05. Rebecca (1940)
06. Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)
07. Glory (1989)
08. Shallow Grave (1994)
09. L'Avventura (1960)
10. American Graffiti (1973)
11. Out of the Blue (1980)
Thanks for hosting, Citizen! You did a wonderful job as always! And congrats to Joel and The Station Agent for winning.

I've seen it. I personally didn't think it was all that spectacular.

Yeah, I kind of had to stick my foot in my mouth there. 
BTW, you and that thread you made were kind of the reason why I chose Hedwig. I didn't know what to nominate and then I thought "Well if I'm gonna get made fun of for telling people they should watch it anyway, I might as well embrace it and make people watch it."

I made a graph of the point spread between the 11 movie nominations. You can see most of the movies are pretty close in points.

These past HoFs have been FULL of great films and the lower spots DO NOT designate dislike or lack of enjoyment in the films.

I forgot that I hadn't said anything about my last three watches:
L'Avventura: A beautiful and challenging film that will reward those with patience. It's a bit long, so you really have to work to pay attention the whole time. I think this would be a way better experience in a movie theater, but sadly I'll probably never get that opportunity.
Out of the Blue: I'm not sure about the acting of the main girl here, but I think I might not be too low on it after a rewatch. I do love of how dark, gritty, grimy, sleazy, and bleak it is. Pure nihilism.
Shallow Grave: I was worried I'd hate the film at get-go, but as it went along, the deplorably annoying characters became worth the watch. It became a really good Tarantino-indie thriller.

I would have been fine with any of the top 8 winning, because I'd say those are all at least films, with maybe Shallow Grave being the closest to less than that level. I have no problem with The Station Agent, but I really don't understand it winning over some of these films. In the Mood for Love was a huge letdown for me, but I think it's decent. The only bad film is Glory, and boy, it's bad. It's the worst film I've seen this year, but if it makes anybody feel any better, I haven't seen that many films. It's a sh*tty film though.
