True Grit?
Huh?
What?
Now it's not like it's bad but...I'm mostly just surprised that anyone could be bothered to remember it.

Last night I watched What We Do in the Shadows. I've mentioned on here that I was uncertain about watching it as I'm not big into Waititi's humour but that the format gave me some hope.
I thought it was very good, possibly a great comedy. The biggest compliment I can give is that I'll probably rewatch it soon with my brother and hope that he finds it funny too. It really utilises the mockumentary format to its maximum potential mixing the absurd with reality, the dialogue and jokes are brilliant, and I loved the special effects and they normally made me laugh out loud. All the little touches like the edited sequences of photos and stuff really add to it too, I can't really think of anything it could have done better for what it is.

What's the tag for strikethrough?
It's not s, and I don't see text styling options for editing (at least while on Android-mobile).

The answer is to dig deeper. There are loads of great movies from that decade, it's only that no one is watching them.
We've been lucky in a few of the preceding decades that a lot of our pop culture touchstones or hit films were frequently very good. Not so much the case anymore.
So the problem isn't with the movies. It's with the audience who isn't seeking out more divergent or underseen voices.
There are hundreds of movies worthy of this list that aren't even going to get within smelling distance of it.

The only movie from my list so far is Melancholia. What kind of a list is this?
I'll agree to this only if you give my nomination in the 30th HoF a perfect rating.

What was Harry Lime's suggestion? I must have missed his post.
Here you go:
On another note I was thinking about the hints. Wouldn't it be better for people to post their guesses as comments on the post with the hints within x hours of the hints being posted? That way it's secret to only the host and everyone could get points for it not just the smartest and fastest - thinking timezones and duplicate guesses here. Could be an idea for the next countdown. But it is fun to see everyone's guesses when you have Speling doing a great job with the hints.
