My old list held up better than I expected, I only needed to ad a few films I've seen since then.  I reserve the right to tinker with the order a bit, but this is roughly the list I'll be submitting:

Worth dying for
Worth killing for
Worth going to hell for
Amen

I'm doing mine right now but I'm just going through a list of directors with more than 1 masterpiece in their hands.  Then I go to the films by directors with 1 masterpiece and see how many are in that list and then rank them.  Of course, you all know what is #1 in my list.   ;)

Ah, you have the same problem that I have then, I assume. You just don't know whether Hannah belongs in front of or behind Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience. Fair enough. I settled with Hannah being ahead, I think, but I could understand why you would go the other way.

Once all this is said and done I'm kind of hoping it might be possible to get my hands on the ballots. I think it would be interesting and fun to calculate whose ballot most closely resembles whose.

... Constantine ... ?

There's quite a few people I know who love it, particularly it's dark fantasy take on the world.

I like it a lot. Tilda Swinton is awesome and Peter Stormare is freaking perfect.

This and this :)

It's just totally different and wild. And it looks fantastic! Lots of fun.
But, but, but...

Wow. No. I mean, I far from hated it, but I far from loved it either. And ignoring how different it is from the comics, my biggest problem is with Gabriel. Read your Bibles people, Gabriel is a male Angel. And I know Swinton has the whole androgynous thing goin on, but... no.

There are other problems as well. Notably the horrible splatter on the lens. And Reeves. And the whole, how do you take a charming, charismatic Brit and turn him into.... Keanu Reeves?
