Nobody has voiced any opposition to you adding yourself as the 20th (I think it is) HDC member to participate. You have a few OKs, and no oppositions, so please participate at this point. The more the merrier!

Our chosen tally stands at 45 films right now, so I bring forth an option to move all films with +3 beside their names (including the ones in the Divided Opinions heading) into the final selection. We will have 12 more finalised films and our tally will rise to 57.

If all are in agreement, we shall proceed from there.

Be impartial, and weigh each film's pros and cons carefully before extending your support for them.

I expect to find at least 20 more from this section, because we won't have much to go through with from the remainder, because the films in the backburner section are the ones with the most negations.

This is a call for fresh voting from everyone, so PLEASE don't be hasty or quick before reaching your decision. Our final 100 has reached a certain level of quality with the 63 chosen ones till now, so let's maintain the quality with the remaining 37 selections.

I'd like to add my support to one more film: The Karate Kid - an expert crafting of sincerity, both in directing and also the acting of Macchio, Morita and Shue.
