I don't know what that is but if it's a mini series, no it doesn't count. This is strictly favorite feature films.

I know, that's why I asked. I think it was originally a mini-series but some consider it a movie.

I loved Windtalkers.

It was actually set to be released Fall 2001 and be up for some awards but the 9/11 attack caused it to be delayed because of its war material. It was released only in select theaters then went to DVD which is why it is kind of overlooked.
