So far Chinatown and GF2 are both nominated in every applicable category (except Scene, where Chinatown didn't make it).

I'm going to try to get to everything I haven't see in the last four years (if ever):

Ali: Fear Eats the Soul
Alice in the Cities
The Amputee
Blazing Saddles
Celine and Julie Go Boating
Chinatown
The Conversation
The Enigma of Kasper Hauser
Foxy Brown
General Idi Amin Dada
The Godfather: Part II
The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner
Hearts and Minds
The Heron and the Crane
Lenny
The Miracle of Flight
The Night Porter
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
That's Entertainment!
Un homme qui dort
Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too
A Woman Under the Influence
Young Frankenstein

If the 1957 Retro Filmspots are any indication, I probably won't get to most of the list above until a year from now. Oh well. Still, I watched Chinatown last night, so I'm off to a better start than expected.

There are a couple of films I'd watch but they aren't available anywhere so I guess I'll just vote. Maybe will watch Parallax View because that could be interesting.

Why couldn't you, just, post all of the nominations in this thread together?
