Most people reveal their ranking at the end, but some people prefer not to, so I didn't add names to the chart.

Very interesting distribution for Entre Nos, there's a lot at the top and at the bottom, and little in the middle. I had it at No.7

Coincidentally, the two quotes of yours I decided to use (other than one for your own nomination) ended up being placed next together.

In case anyone was wondering about the quotes, each film has a quote from the person who nominated it, as well as a quote from someone else that was either positive, well worded, or amusing to me in some way.
