Update:

Monday will be the day, so ballots will be accepted up until Sunday night. A few more days to get one in if you already haven't.

Ok we are up to 64 ballots, not a bad total, and 410 different movies. This is a Top 100, so 310 movies will be left out.

Only one change in the Top 15 over the past couple of days, a big one though. One movie literally jumped 20 places overnight, into the top 10.

I could use another writer or two, so if someone wants to contribute, just post your email and I'll get you one by tonight.

Overall, the list is still rather good. Worth the time and effort, and much better than some of these other lists we come across.

Later.

Got it.





Ok folks, nominations are due in by midnight, so if anyone else wants to turn one in, only a few hours left. Will finish up the 100 after that and start preparing for tomorrow.

I'll post maybe the first 20 early morning, then I have a round of golf to play, and when I get back I'll post the rest in stages, along with all of the hard work from fellow posters.

This can be un-stickied, as Baloo will sticky the list thread tomorrow.
