4 Months is not likely to move on but it's tremendous, a must-see.

Inland Empire messed with my mind really badly. And I enjoyed every single second of it.

[mae]

Those rabbits! I still feel the dread.... Unfortunately, apart from that I'm not sure I really could vote for it.

[Tommy]

Everyone loves Muholland Dr. and rightly so but Inland Empire is right up there with it in my opinion. Laura Dern gives maybe her best performance.

Sober or high or drunk or whatever, it is a trippy, intense experience.

4 Months.... is an exceptional film and I guess I knew it wouldn't make it far but hopefully someone watches it because of this tournament.

The two I didn't vote for are the front runners.

[St. Troy]

I know it must have been mentioned around here somewhere, but...how many from each group in this round will advance?

[fernandito]

6^

[mae]

Yup, you can vote for up to six and the top six will move on.

And yes, everyone should see 4 Month, it's currently streaming on Criterion Channel and Mubi, both have free trials I believe: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/4...eks-and-2-days

Match Point might just be Woody's most humorless film. It is also a favorite of mine.

Inland Empire!!

Everyone loves Muholland Dr. and rightly so

I don't love Mulholland Drive.

Also, glad 28 Days Later did so well. I read an article with Boyle a few weeks back saying there's an idea for another one, but obviously it's still early.
