Ooh, can we? Really? I can't wait. Squee!

Well, you say that.

Not sure if I'd include it or not, but I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.

It won't. It really, really won't. Unless by "huge number" you mean about 5 or there's a huge turnover of posters at the site. Then it's possible.

I don't think I've said it yet, so thank you Harry. You did a great job and kept it all running smoothly.

And you managed all that without killing SC.

+1 for Sense and Sensibility. I was beginning to think i was the only one who voted for it.

My List (Movies that made the list in bold):

1. Groundhog Day
2. Chungking Express
3. Raise the Red Lantern
4. Peppermint Candy
5. Before Sunrise
6. Shall We Dance (1996)
7. Beauty and the Beast
8. Days of Being Wild
9. Princess Mononoke
10. Pulp Fiction
11. Dumb and Dumber
12. Apollo 13
13. Gettysburg
14. Babe
15. Fargo
16. The Remains of the Day
17. Boogie Nights
18. The Story of Qui Ju
19. Election
20. Hoop Dreams
21. L.A. Confidential
22. The Rock
23. Rounders
24. South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
25. The Usual Suspects

Surprises (to me, at least): The Rock only picking up 2 votes and finishing below Con Air, and that I was the only person to vote for Apollo 13. Great list overall, and it was good to hear about all of these other films. Bring on the 80s!
