I've pretty much avoided this thread, until now, but to be honest, I have only heard of one of these movies (source code), which I did see (hated it).

Honestly I doubt I have even seen over 250 movies from the 2010's let alone 320, so I figured anything I liked would likely get nominated (can only think of about 5 that aren't already in)

[Still Servant]

I second A Most Violent Year

[Randall Flagg]

I nominate Calvary (2014)


Trailer

Spoiler:

Truly a very good movie.

[Tommy]

A lot of those are on my list, along with a few messed up horror flicks

A Serbian Film
Excision
The Kill List

A few others I have to go through my notes and check.

[Tommy]

I nominate Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil

[T-Dogz_AK47]

I nominate Calvary (2014)


Trailer

Spoiler:

Truly a very good movie.

An excellent choice! Seconded!!

[Tommy]

I'll second The Gift

[Randall Flagg]

I second 1922.

[mae]

A Fantastic Woman (2017)
Sebastián Lelio

Watch trailer:

[mae]

I'll second Loving Vincent.

[mae]

By the way, we just passed 220 entries (we're at 223). That means 97 spots remain!

[Tommy]

I'll second Hush

[amd013]

Well actually, looks like there are several films that I haven't seen nominated, so guess I better start nominating them:

Hunger Games

[MikeDuke]

I nominate out of the furnace Scott Cooper 2013

[Red_Balloon]

I would like to nominate: The Wipers Times (2013) dir. Andy De Emmony

[mae]

I would like to nominate: The Wipers Times (2013) dir. Andy De Emmony

I'm not sure that qualifies. It's a film, yes, but it looks to be a TV movie. Nothing technically preventing us from including TV movies (streaming movies are okay), but this feels more TV showey to me, I dunno.



Thoughts, anyone?

[Tommy]

Of all the films left to be nominated, I'm positive Red_Balloon could come up with something more widely seen and more likely to get votes during the tournament.

[Randall Flagg]

I second Uncut Gems.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Or one could use the opportunity to watch lesser known productions such as that to gain a wider perspective.

[mae]

I'll second Jackie.

[Tommy]

I guess I see your point Tim/RB but I still vote no. There's more deserving ones left to be added.

But hey, I'm just ONE vote so please, others have your say....

My only concern is that it's more like a TV show, not that it's lesser known (I've nominated a bunch of things only I have probably seen). If nobody objects to it, I'll count it as a nom.

Looks like The Wipers Times is available to stream through Amazon Prime.

Then so be it. Your Tournament, your call, Mae.
