How am I the only one to vote for Almost Famous? I know it's early, but WTF

[mae]

Cause there are six better ones!

[fernandito]

I forgot to vote for A Prophet. Can we add a vote please? Thanks.

How am I the only one to vote for Almost Famous? I know it's early, but WTF

Because I hadn't voted yet.

Only saw 2 movies in this list, and since I think I am the one who 2nd'd them in, had to vote for them.

[mae]

I miss Brittany Murphy :cry:

[Mattrick]

Cause there are six better ones!


That would mean you think 8 Mile and I, Robot are better films than Almost Famous, the greatest feel-good film ever made.

No, just 8 Mile. It was a toss-up between it and Almost Famous.

[Still Servant]

Strong group with good variety here.

[mae]

Just three votes for A Prophet and 8 votes for I, Robot, does not compute! :borg: This is not the Alex Proyas of Dark City...

[Still Servant]

I was somewhat underwhelmed by A Prophet.
