    It's got five pretty strong ones in my opinion. I don't think it is a requirement that a blockbuster win even though one probably will....

    This has plenty of great stuff, with a masterpiece in Fanny and Alexander, plus a personal guilty pleasure Just One of the Guys, which I watched countless times as a kid. And I'm happy to see Totoro doing well!

    Really sad to see Just One of the Guys get little love. It's such an '80s staple for me.

    Indeed. Also part of the amazing story of Johnny Lawrence.

    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?

    When I voted, I didn't recognize the movie by name, but then I remembered it afterwards. Considered telling you to add a vote, but I figured it couldn't be saved so I didn't bother.
    Wanted:

    I can still add it, if you wish. Though it's about to close. At the end of the tournament we still get a complete ranking of all the films.
