    It'll be difficult for any Tarkovsky film to make it to the knockout rounds, unfortunately. Not a lot here have watched his films.

    Yeah, he's a director that I still have to get to. Unfortunately, his films look like you have to be in a very specific mood for.

    They're mesmerizing, abstract pieces of poetry, but their languid pace is definitely not for everyone. You def have to be in the mood for them.

    Can you please add a vote for Frenzy? I just didn't click it I guess.
    All that's left of what we were is what we have become.

    This is closing tomorrow morning and The Shootist and Pete's Dragon are tied for last place, with Mirror, sadly, two votes back.
