Gah! Lost in Translation in fifth place? :panic:

[mae]

This is closing later today and thankfully Lost in Translation was able to pull into a tie for last with Eastern Promises. Hopefully we can break that tie before the poll closes.

I love both EP and LiT for different reasons so I'll be glad whichever goes through.

The poll has closed. The following four titles are moving on to the next round:


Almost Famous (65.22%)
Finding Nemo (60.87%)
3:10 to Yuma (43.48%)
Lost in Translation (43.48%)


And the following two titles have been eliminated:


Eastern Promises (39.13%)
The Pursuit of Happyness (13.04%)

[Mattrick]

Lost in Translation was that close to elimination? It's the best film in this group. Sad!

[MikeDuke]

Awe man. Eastern Promises is no more. Now I am sad :cry:.

[Still Servant]

It's hard to see Eastern Promises go, but you can't argue with the films that moved on here.

[Mattrick]

Well, I could argue for Finding Nemo not even deserving a nomination. I hate that movie. Gorgeous animation, but it sucks.

Disagree. I liked the themes of parenthood and the fears that come with it. Everyone thinks it's Nemo's film. It's not. It's Marlin's film.

[Heather19]

I don't know, I think Eastern Promises is my favorite of the bunch here. I'll be sad to see it go.
