    That sound cue at the end of the Godzilla trailer is one of my all-time favorite trailer moments. I still remember the goosebumps it gave me when I saw it at an IMAX screening for something.

    I gotta watch Yesterday before I vote, but Annihilation and Three Billboards are definitely getting my votes. I'd like to catch the John Wick movies, too.

    Obviously more people need to see Your Name. Heather, as a lover of beautiful animation, I think you'd like it.

    Also, a bit surprising seeing Three Billboards in the lead. Especially given:

    I thought that whole thing was overblown. A good film is a good film.

    Yesterday is the kind of feel good film that we need more of. Smartly written, superbly acted, a killer soundtrack, and one very special alternate reality scene.

    I will agree with this.

    After voting for Godzilla I can't believe I forgot to nominate Shin Godziila which was a scathing commentary on Japanese politics in the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster and 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

    Agree, it's a great film but foreign films usually struggle so I didn't, but the 2014 Godzilla was also really good, I had such a great time with it, can't wait for Godzilla vs. Kong.

    my typical reaction throughout most of our tournaments

    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)
