    Really? I like Take Shelter a lot, kind of a hypnotic and visually eerie tale.

    I don't get why the Before Trilogy seems to be struggling, same thing happened in our 1990s and 2000s tournaments. These are brilliant films!

    It's one of those franchises I have been meaning to get to forever, but it just hasn't happened. Also, my cousin's wife went to school with Julie Delpy and she said she's a huge CU Next Tuesday.

    I don't know about that but I always thought Richard Linklater was a hugely respected director.

    Coherence was a weird movie. Every time I hear it though, I immediately think of that other film with the red lights. I'm blanking on the name, does anyone know the film I'm talking about?

    I've also had Train to Busan on my list forever now to watch. I don't know if I'll get to it before the poll closes, but if it moves on I'll definitely try to watch it.

    There's a movie with Robert De Niro called Red lights. Is that it?

    No its the one with the dinner party and ends
    Spoiler:
    with her going outside and seeing a bunch of lanterns lit.
    I'm pretty sure you saw it. Its driving me crazy because I can't think of the name of it.

    Yes, thats it! Thanks Ricky. Thinking about it the two films are very different so I'm not sure why I always think of that one first.

    It's been years since I've seen Coherence, but isn't there a dinner party in that one too? I could see getting them mixed up.

    I loved The Invitation. Caught me completely by surprise. If you haven't seen it, and plan on it, for God's sake do NOT click on the spoiler above. In fact, best to forget this thread entirely!

    This tournament is throwing out so many very good movies in the first round.
    Lego Movie....Shhh. Please. Maybe we need a children's movies round. Include all of the animated children movies, and anything from the Marvel portfolio.

    Tight group here, and we have a three-way tie for sixth between Take Shelter, Selma, and You Were Never Really Here. All three are very deserving...
