[_____V_____]

Before everyone jumps ship, let's just take a tally for the 13 films in debate right now.

Objections have come from:

Back To The Future - 3 (roshiq, Straker)
Die Hard - 3 (roshiq, Straker)
Dog Day Afternoon - 3 (realdealblues)
Edward Scissorhands - 3 (roshiq, realdealblues, Straker)
Gone With The Wind - 3 (roshiq)
It's a Wonderful Life - 3 (roshiq)
Monty Python & The Holy Grail - 3 (The Villain)
Pulp Fiction - 3 (roshiq, realdealblues)
Saving Private Ryan - 3 (realdealblues)
The Empire Strikes Back - 3 (roshiq)
The Terminator - 3 (roshiq, realdealblues, Straker)
Titanic - 3 (roshiq, Straker)
Twelve Monkeys - 3 (realdealblues, Straker)

Approval for all films: Sculpt, Giganticface, metternich1815.

Since all other methods seem to be failing and we are running in circles, let me try my "easy-peasy" elimination method here...

All films have 3 nominations each, and all see approval from 3 members, so that's SIX per film. Now, taking objections into account, we are left with:

Back To The Future - 4
Die Hard - 4
Dog Day Afternoon - 5
Edward Scissorhands - 3
Gone With The Wind - 5
It's a Wonderful Life - 5
Monty Python & The Holy Grail - 5
Pulp Fiction - 4
Saving Private Ryan - 5
The Empire Strikes Back - 5
The Terminator - 3
Titanic - 4
Twelve Monkeys - 4


So, filtering further, we have SIX more films with at least 5 overall thumbs-ups, so I am moving them into the final compilation. That will take our overall tally to 20.

We are left with SEVEN films with 4 or less overall thumbs-ups, so I am moving them into the backburner with the other TWO films from the previous set (Matrix & Once Upon A Time In The West) for debate later.

We are still left with 80 spots to fill, from the 2-nominations and single nominations section. And of course, we have 25 Honorable Mention spots up for grabs as well. So that's 105 spots left to fill, from a residual list of 208 films.

Pretty good ratio, don't you all agree?

So the ones who move on to the final list are - Dog Day Afternoon, Gone With The Wind, It's A Wonderful Life, Monty Python & The Holy Grail, Saving Private Ryan and The Empire Strikes Back.

Films moved to the backburner are - Back To The Future, Die Hard, Edward Scissorhands, Pulp Fiction, The Terminator, Titanic and Twelve Monkeys.

We shall go through the films with 2 nominations later today.
