The challenge is how do you create a poll if everyone can vote multiple times, but the obvious ones still take the lead. It’s really tough. For instance, I’m going to randomly pick a few from the lists I see here. Harold and Maude Cannonball run And silence of the lambs. Take a stab at who wins. I wish there was a polling system that accounted for the films that just don’t fit in or fall through the cracks on a poll… I guess you would have to know in advance the bigger named films so as to separate them and make two separate polls. Perhaps creating a poll with everything that everyone chose then we vote on all of the ones on the list. Multiple films can be chosen then you take the top five and that’s this weeks Poll. Then you take the bottom five (from the cracks) and Put them on one. Then they all get a chance to shine and make it to a watchlist. I don’t know I’m just spitballing.

Catchermag

Man, have you got a lot of movies to sift through Ames 😂

Kinokind

- The Stuntman (1980) - Repo Man (1984) - Eating Raoul (1982) - Session 9 (2001) - Miracle Mile (1988) I thought I'd go with some highly regarded films that are known to fewer people. It's the first time I've ever suggested Miracle Mile, since it's a pretty potent film.

Don Dunco

The Heist (1989, it was a tv movie starring Pierce Brosnan), Beetlejuice (1988), All the President's Men (1976), Kramer vs Kramer (1979), The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) [I had to throw an Errol Flynn classic at ya], The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), The Three Musketeers (1973)

Modders

You must have been drunk when you came up with this idea lol.

Todd Rush

1) Marcel The Shell with Shoes On 2022 (stop-motion animation) 2) Lords of Discipline 1982 (the setting is 1960. A black cadet is allowed into a military school for the first time. Really good acting, but it doesn’t have very good reviews for some odd reason. It’s really good.) 3. Miller’s Crossing 1990 (Coen Brothers version of the gangster movie; poking fun of it a little along the way. Incredible dialogue and unexpected twist, so you have to pay attention.) 4. Spotlight 2015 (incredible movie about the Washington Post exposing child abuse in the Catholic Church for the first time) 5. Rope 1948 (Hitchcock. you’ve mentioned this one a couple of times so you know what it is. It’s such a good movie. It would probably have been the first on my list had I not known that you’re already interested in watching it. Lol. I’m sure you’ll get to it someday w/o too much pushing from me.)

Brando83

Hope this is still going... (Well, part of me hopes it isn't...) 1. A Fistful of Dollars (1964) 2. Transformers: The Movie (1986) 3. Tenebre (1982) 4. The Great Silence (1968) 5. Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

Guybrush Threepwood

1. Valkyrie (2008) 2. Cocoon (1985) 3. The 13th Warrior (1999) 4. K19 the Widowmaker (2002) 5. Glory (1989)

michael anderson

1. Synecdoche, New York- 2008 (Charlie Kaufman) 2. Searching for Bobby Fischer-1993 (Steven Ernest Bernard Zaillian) 3. Naked Lunch-1991 (David Paul Cronenberg) 4. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou-2004(Wes Anderson) 5. The Sting-1973 (George Roy Hill) some of my favorites like eternal sunshine for the spotless mind you've already done...other than the sting, these are all smaller films that are different in either content or in design...i enjoy these films a lot.
