Which to Choose? Marathoning Again.

Having a little movie night this weekend, before exam-cramming time comes along. I'm renting 6 films from the list below... and need some help narrowing it down to such a limited amount.

Lost Highway
The Matador
Being John Malkovich
Any Given Sunday
Pleasantville
The Big Lebowski
Ed Wood
The Thing
Misery
The Virgin Suicides

I'd do:

The Matador
The Big Leibowski
The Virgin Suicides
Misery
Ed Wood
Lost Highway

in that order

--- I LOVE Being John Malkovich, but feel it would lose impact when lumped into a marathon...should be viewed seperately:)

The Matador, Ed Wood and The Thing all ran in at 5 votes.
Lost Highway and The Big Lebowski come in at 4.
Misery and The Virgin Suicides are at 3.
Pleasantville has 1. It's gone.
Any Given Sunday has 0. It's outta here.
And Being John Malkovich is exempted for being too good for a marathon. :p

I give a vote to Lost Highway, The Big Lebowski, The Virgin Suicides, Misery, The Matador and Ed Wood for being those that I'll select. I'll definately pick up Being John Malkovich another time out-of-marathon.

Would everyone agree with this order?

The Matador
The Big Leibowski
The Virgin Suicides
Misery
Ed Wood
Lost Highway
