Don't kill me. Don't hate me. These are the picks I've chosen from the little I know about the Classics! I didn't research anything; I am going by gut, titles, upvotes and this was one of the hardest polls I've ever had to create because you guys gave me so much! It almost feels impossible, but I am really proud of this list!

There are so many that you all gave me, and we might just have to do another poll with the others not on here!

Approval! But please don't try to make things tie on purpose!🔪

Very solid list, Ames. You had an impossible job as there were so many great titles nominated. It just means there are plenty of options for future polls!

Roger Freeman

I know it had to be hard with the enormous list we gave you. You did an excellent job with your poll.

Michael T

What a list! 😍

Stephen Knueppel

To many Hitchcock fans here, other great movies don't have a chance

Toc

I love what you picked, and that is a HUGE poll of worthy titles!

Shawn Goforth

I would expect this to be one of the closer votes we've done.

Castanea

Ikiru is a surprise to see but it’s so good. Maybe The Hidden Fortress would be good too

Catchermag

I mean, they’re all good. Can’t really go wrong. Nice work with the corralling.

JM63

A++ 👏👏👏

Brent Turner

I would be happy with any of the films that get picked. This list has not one bad, or even just ok, movie. They are all great.

RFK Fan

Not a bad film on here. 😜❤️👍

Marc Fredrick

I owned a video store for more than twenty years last century, so I've seen all of these movies. Keep this list handy. Whichever one wins, after watching it you'll be going back to the list anxious to watch another. I can't wait.

Justtired

Wait! My noms weren’t picked?! This sucks!! 🤪 Just kidding. This is a great list! You really can’t go wrong here. I’m excited to watch all of these with you

Jeffrey Schmidbauer

Someone called it. Looks like "Rear Window" is going to win ...again.

Clay F

Ames, you always do a good job of distilling the comment noms into a poll list. Roman Holiday (1953) is my top choice but will be fine with Rear Window winning. Grace Kelly is striking.

Don Dunco

Just curious Ames, hasya seen Tusk by Kevin Smith? It's one of the better horror movies I've ever seen.

Hold Down A

Totally! I keep them all in my spreadsheets

Jason Vulgamore

I missed the nomination post again. This is a great list, but I have to add 3, whether they get voted on or not. * The Secret Life of Walter Mitty 1947 * Arsenic and Old Lace 1944 *The Kid from Brooklyn 1946

Retro Maven

Found a couple. so I'm satisfied. And I find it hard to believe ANYONE could ever hate you....😁

Paul Cox

One thing I've learned through following various reaction channels is that if your poll of classic movies has anything from Hitchcock in it, forget about anything else winning. No slam on Hitchcock. I love many of his films, including the ones present here, but he's a RINGER.

Catchermag

I’m happy to see Bridge on the River Kwai tie for second on here. Leave it to a war movie to go head to head with two Hitchcock films on the front line. I love Hitchcock, but for these three, I did ‘Lean’ the other way by voting for Bridge. Get it? ‘Lean’?? Oh c’mon. I can’t be the only dad joke guy.
