Congrats indeed SV. That was a great film you nominated: a rare post-war film that is powerful throughout without being overly dramatic or having forced love-lines.

Best Years kind of kicked butt. I enjoyed this HOF quite a bit. Hopefully we can continue to weed out the drop outs, kind of puts a famper on things. Congrats Vamp, very good nom that wasn't on my radar at all.

Fixed. Is the side effect of being a dad sub-conciously censoring yourself?
side effect of being a mofo too. For me it's also a side effect of talking in public.

At one point when I was running results pre-drop outs, it looked like Adaptation would win easy. So I'd like to thank both Nope and Godoggo for not finishing 
Seriously though, will we ever have a HOF with no drops. With no disrespect to Gatsby it was a waste of my time rewatching The Rules of the Game, a movie I entirely hated the first time around but wanted to give it some comments and a fair chance.

The only surprise for me was that No Man's Land didn't finish lower.
My list-
1. Brief Encounter
2. Mikey and Nicky
3. The Best Years of Our Lives
4. The Descendants
5. The Lives of Others
6. Leave Her to Heaven
7. Death Race 2000
8. No Man's Land
9. The Magnificent Ambersons
10. Time Lapse
I originally had Adaptaion and Dead Man Walking 4th and 5th, Rules of the Game after Ambersons, and Beasts of the Southern Wild last.
Great job to everyone that finished, and even to those who gave an honest effort. A big thanks to Raul for doing such a wonderful job as host

I too couldn't believe No Man's Land finished so high. It was definitely further down with others eligible, in fact I'm fairly certainly it would have finished near the bottom tier if everything stayed in.

Congratulations to SilentVamp! for #1 Place with The Best Years of Our Lives.
I was pulling for that movie as soon as I seen it was announced.
Thanks to Raul for running this! I just got up so sorry I missed the countdown.
And Thank you to all the people who finished the HoF.

I'm so sorry, guys. But I hope you understood my reasons. I really wanted to finish this but I just couldn't. I feel asleep on the couch as soon as I got home from work today. I was utterly exhausted.
But nevertheless, glad to see the list turning out pretty much how I wanted it to. The order is more or less how mine would've been. Congrats to SilentVamp!
- Actually, I did watch the first hour and a half of Best Years, but my attention was bad, the setting wasn't perfect and my mood was on/off. I therefore chose to end my watchings already yesterday, since I didn't want to ruin a possibly great film just for the sake of rushing this list...
I don't know if it'll be any comfort, maybe it will for me, but I will finish the movies in this HoF despite of not making the deadline... If they watched my film I sure as hell will watch theirs. This was my first dropout and I haf clear reasons, yet I still feel guilty and mad at myself for not completing.
Even if I didn't finish I want to say thank you to all who joined. I watched some great films and these things are always fun!
