{* = HONORABLE MENTIONS}
The initial backings/negations stay.
Adding a special "Giant Monster" films section at the end for due consideration, since it was demanded.
Remember, we are here to select
TWO films from the remaining ones from the
DEBATABLE section onwards.
The "In The Cut" section is NOT for debate.
Once that is done, we can proceed to select
SIX films from the remaining films for our
Honorable Mentions.
OR, if everyone is in joint agreement, we can shortlist the TWO films from the 3-votes section for our Top 22, and get the Honorable Mentions from the rest.
OR we can go the old-fashioned way and debate till we get our chosen films.
Either way, let's hear it.
