Anyone else voicing their opinions?

[sfear]

Is it too late to add something? I watched THE TRAIN (1965) this morning and was reminded how good it is. Story, acting, photography and by implication directing, all top-notch. Especially the photography. Since several of my nominations have been negated I'd like to toss this into the fray. Should have nominated it the first time, just didn't think of it.

2. Monty Python & The Holy Grail -- No argument is really necessary. If you love it, you love it, and if you don't, you never will. But for a comedy, this film has the most amazingly detailed sets and costumes, and feels extremely gritty for being off-the-wall British slapstick. This film has no peers.

3. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover -- This film breaks too many rules for most folks, and I wouldn't want to watch it with my mom. But every time I do watch it, I'm left gut-punched for a couple days.

4. The Deer Hunter -- Incredible cast, moving, heartbreaking, epic. A truly impactful drama that is oh so human.

5. Fargo -- I would be fine with any number of Coen Brothers films, but one of them really needs to make the list. I chose O Brother, Where Art Thou?, but that film is a bit niche for a broad range of voters. Fargo has been cherished by quite a few, including myself, and has an endless number of memorable moments. The Coen Bros know how to define and develop unique, but still believable, characters. I personally think The Big Lebowski is a better example of that, but Fargo is probably more respected in a general sense, and a good choice if the Bros only get one.

I'll back these.

[_____V_____]

Adding those in bold (strong approvals) in my post above, we are now at 67 films. Still need 33 more.

Can I have a say in the films which are remaining? If no one objects, that is.

Certainly.

How do you want to proceed to select 33 more? Would you like us to go ahead and support films for the full list (ones we haven't supported already?)?

Review the ones from the 2-vote and 1-vote section which have nominal support and/or no support so far, then rummage through the ones from the backburner.

Will post the lists once I get the approval from more members to put my inputs into the remaining films.
