Whoa, how is Babe tied for last? I know it's early, but that's such a great film and a Best Picture nominee.

I voted for it. A great film indeed!

I really must watch Ed Wood. I've been meaning too for a long time...same with Chaplin, which came out around the same time.

Ed Wood is such an awesome film.

Some films are made for certain people. Ed Wood is made for you.
