    I wonder if I can vote The Elephant Man if I did not see any other movie in this group. I just don't think there are many movies better than this.

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes, you can! I can't believe it's fighting for last. It definitely is the best film of the bunch here.


    Also I forgot to click on Predator when I voted, but it's ok because it really doesn't need my help.

    Elephant Man is one of the few Lynch films I haven't seen. If it advances, I'll scope it on Prime.

    You need to watch it before the poll closes! It's definitely different from Lynch's more abstract films. I think you'll appreciate it. It's a wonderful film.

    Love that film too, but I'm very happy to see The Elephant Man make it on.

    I can't believe that The Hitcher AND Heathers are out. Very sad.
