Sorry, s1n1st3r. I caught you late. We'll give you plenty of warning for the 1960s list, whenever that winds up being due (probably early next year). And at least watch the reveal of the group list, see how many of your choices make it, and where they place.

Thanks!

Forgot about the short lists being submitted.

99*

Yeah awesome job, a few weeks ago I think we were on like 30-40 lists and when Holden said he wanted 100 I thought he was crazy, but nope... incredible stuff and I can't wait for this to start



Same here, I thought Holden was dreaming shooting for that many. I think it has a whole lot to do with him that their is so much participation. Hats off to you, Holden.



Normally I do not do "lists" it is usually too tough for me and then I re-think it and get mad for not having a certain film on there. This list was fun however and even though I am re-thinking a little already it brought up some good memories of growing up and made me want to watch some movies that I have not seen in a very long time.

99 Mofo lists on the wall, 99 Mofo lists.

This should be good. A great decade of film and a very large selection of lists. I expect a few surprises, but the larger number of lists could equate to the early favourites having a better chance.

You've officially got 100 lists now.

Just count my list as a joint list with my mother, Sexy Mommy.

Since she's my mother, we've both seen the same '70s things and like them all equally.

Just mark it off as "Sexy Celebrity / Sexy Mommy." Two people.

So, congratulations. You got exactly 100 lists. YAY!
