Of the 320 films in the tournament, I've seen 270 of them. My guess is only Mae has a better number, but I could be wrong.

I'm too lazy to count but I am at least familiar with all 320.
I've seen 104 but I am cheating slightly by counting movies where I have seen the majority of the run time.
I think I've seen 137. Out of the ones I haven't seen there's a few that I've been wanting to watch so I'll try to get to them before the competition begins. But there's also plenty there that I have zero desire to watch.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Please do watch Wonder Woman, Heather! You promised!
I've seen 145 - kinda surprised I haven't seen more, given the genre demographics of my family.
I think I viewed the ~7 films I nominated
I have seen 108 of them.

106 for me.
130 for me.
We're now about two weeks from the start of the tournament! Hope some of you have been able to check out something that's been nominated if you haven't seen it.
I ain't doing shiet on Sunday so I want to cram in at least 2-3 nominations!
There's no way I'm getting to the 100+ films I haven't seen yet, so I was thinking it'd be cool for everyone to post their Top 10 favorites of the decade's nominations to help us prioritize what we might want to try and fit in before the voting starts.
Here's mine (in no particular order):
1. Spotlight (2015), dir. Tom McCarthy
2. The Witch (2015), dir. Robert Eggers
3. The Hateful Eight (2015), dir. Quentin Tarantino
4. Gravity (2013), dir. Alfonso Cuarón
5. Coherence (2013), dir. James Ward Byrkit

A NEW GAME BEGINS
I happened to catch The Magnificent Seven on TV the other day. I watched it and it was ok. Then I thought to check here to see if it was one of the films in the tournament. Turns out it wasn't even nominated.
I think I got it confused with The Hateful Eight, which I still haven't seen.
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?
My top ten would be mostly block-busters that pretty much everyone has seen or heard of. But I have a few towards the top of my list that may be a little lesser known:
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)
The Edge of Seventeen (2016)
Inside Out (2015)
Instant Family (2018 )
Yesterday (2019)
Room (2015)
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?
I second Never Let Me Go
