"Heroes don't look like me, not in the real world. In the real world they got bad teeth, a bald spot and a beer gut. I'm just an actor with a gun, who's lost his motivation. Be seein' ya."
Some noms still on my list...

8th NOMINATION
Billy Elliot (2000)

One of those real British gems, later made into a great Broadway musical.
I'll second Grindhouse if no one else is going to do it.
I feel like there are movies we are forgetting but I'm on the beach so I can't really dig into it right now.
Funny Games (2007)
Michael Haneke
Watch trailer:
I'm just going to leave this here. Apparently no one has seen this movie, which makes me sad because I know a lot of you would enjoy it. It's such a great film and I encourage you all to seek it out at some point.
The Motorcycle Diaries trailer
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
We're down to 11 spots.
Voting will probably begin on Monday, July 29, so I would urge everyone who's not seen some of the movies that will be taking part, to take the week to see if they could catch them streaming or on demand from your TV provider. Your local library should have lots of movies to stream via Kanopy and Hoopla for free if you can't find the movie on Netflix and other services. I usually use https://www.justwatch.com/ to look up where something is streaming.
What's funny is that I prefer the remake to the original, and it's the exact same movie, shot for shot. Even the sets are nearly identical. But I think it's shot better and they speak English... but that never bothers me since I watch lots of international cinema. Is it the actors? Weird. Am I weird?
Criterion really messed it up when the released the original on Blu-ray recently and didn't include the remake as a second disc. They used to do stuff like that all the time back in the day.
