    Which movie is your favorite?

    Wrong. Work is your new favorite.

    I think this is the first poll that I've had trouble narrowing down my choices. The only one this this group that I don't really care about is Gran Torino.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    I could've done without Eastwood's singing at the end but I love that one!

    Interesting, it's sorta the opposite for me. The only movie in this grouping I particularly care about is The Fellowship of the Ring.

    Elf has become a sort of cult classic at this point.

    Elf is odd; it works as a family holiday movie, but also works as a crazy Will Ferrell movie.

    I've never really been a fan, but with the exception of Anchorman 1 and Talladega Nights (both are sorta nostalgic for me and I haven't actually seen them in 10+ years) I'm not really a Will Ferrell movie fan.

    The three weakest films are in the bottom, and the three strongest films are at the top. What kind of poll is this? It's not supposed to be so accurate!

    If you mean poll placement top to bottom, it's done on cumulative percentage totals. So if this was Group 1 of 32, then the top option will be the #1 ranked film. In Group 2, the top option will be the #2 ranked film. And so on until Group 32 with the top option being the #32 ranked film. Then we get back to Group 1 and the second option is the #33 ranked film. And on, and on. So in this round, the last option of Group 32 will be the lowest ranked film (#192).

    No I mean how can the poll be accurate with the best movies on top and the worst on the bottom.

    I think it's by design, based on percentages.
