Am waiting on at least one more and would be thrilled if more than one turned up in my inbox over night.  (BTW, 14 voters have now voted for 80 separate films!)

Would love to see a countdown of all 80+ but know thats unlikely.  Still am eager to read and discuss!

Am still tabulating things and getting the entires together.  Since the board is rather quiet on the weekend, I think I'll start it next Monday.  If I'm really motivated, I'll try to PM everyone who voted the night before and let them know.  I can tell you that the way voting and points shook down, we're going to have a countdown of the Top 29 Films of 2011.  At the conclusion, I'll give you the entire list.

I was on a trip from the 24th to the 28th so I'm actually kind of glad about the delay.  I was worried I'd get back and have missed half the countdown.

Anyway, if it's a top 29 countdown, I submitted a ballot of 15... three movies from my list are definitely getting on, and I think there are four more that are maybes.  If any of the other eight show up I'll be very surprised.

Not to spoil much, but I apologize to Hugo fans for not seeing it until last night.

I might have counted wrong, but it looks like 6 of your 15 made the list.

Yeah, I didn't see it either.

Also, without spoiling too much, let's just say DVDVR's best film of 2011 and the Oscars really differed.  Translation:

I watched Hugo last night too.  It would have made my list easily, but I'm thinking my 4-15 will be drastically different by the time we do the mid-year vote.

As for the Artist, I'll chalk it up to (myself included) most people not being able to see it. It ran here for two weeks(which is a miracle in and of itself), and I was too busy to sneak in a screening.

The Yankees are like Ric Flair to the Red Sox' Sting. They strung them along and played it up like they were buddies and tag team partners, then right at crunch time- BAM.

And you'd think Sting would know better by now.

Gonna be an indefinite hiatus for this one (Hopefully later this week but we'll see) as I'm battling a crippling toothache and trying to keep from going all Nick Nolte on it



So, yeah, hopefully I can get this cleared up quickly and back to work, but be patient with me.

I just watched The Skin I Live In and that would have easily been my #3 of the year.  Antonio Banderas puts in such an incredible (and scary performance).  As a testament to how good films were in 2011, I'd put my Top 3 of 2011 over my favorite film of 2010, Black Swan.

I already can't wait for the Mid-Year Correction Poll because my then I would be able to see many more of the heavy hitters of 2011.

Turning this into the discussion thread to leave the countdown free:

Was Hanna really very good? I hate kids in movies as a rule, but the concept interested me. Then I completely forgot it ever happen, even though Eric Banana is a guy I'll go out of my way to watch.

Feel free to discuss in the countdown thread, I'd prefer if there was lots of discussion in that thread, it gets tedious otherwise just posting film after film.
