Surprisingly, there are no animated films on my ballot. I suspect at least a couple animated films will make the list.
I regret not including Waltz With Bashir on my ballot

I've come to accept I get maybe 10 of my picks on the list, the other 15 not, because you guys aren't hipster enough.



There are actually 94 films tagged both war and musical on imdb. I wonder if any of them will make the countdown?

I haven't seen any of those. We should probably throw out my ballot.

Only seen a few of those. When we do a top 100 musical movies. South Pacific (1958) will be making my ballot.

I'm not going to say no, but this is the smallest odds of it happening. My list will almost all make it, and the ones that won't I wouldn't expect to.
Most of my list won't make it, I guess that means I'll have to pitch hit for you and complain



I forgot the opening line.
Which wars will feature most? I predict

1 - World War II
2 - World War I

Latest Review : Le Circle Rouge (1970)



I didn't send a list in and I'm very disappointed in myself.

I got so frustrated compiling a pathetic partial that I couldn't bring myself to properly order it and send it. I'm sorry for being a coward and not go into battle with y'all this time around, MoFos... I will still follow this list along the way or try to at least. Gonna be very busy the upcoming three months but I'll do my best to check in.

I should have kept you on track. Damnit



Someone should make a war musical where the soldiers sing about killing each other as they're fighting. I wonder how well that would go.

Any predictions on what will be #100?
A Man Called Sarge?

Due to personal issues and other reasons, I decided to take a step back from this countdown. This way I can marvel at your choices and take notes.
