Me either, though that was more due to having little memory of it.

Between this

another kooky breakdown.  i looked at each person's list and recorded the highest-ranked film that we had in common, the numbers denote where the film ranks on that person's list:

Casablanca
Me      2
Wilson      2
mattTMW   3
Columbo   3
Chardy      4
Frantastical   4
ses      8
Em      8
corndog   8
lotrsam      16
Bill      20

and this

So far, with only 12 ballots and 1120 votes have been counted;

we have 680 nominated movies
all of the top 20 have at least 4 votes
only 18 of the top 100 have less than 3 votes
6 of the current top 20 are not in the English language
Neither of the top two have received any number 1 votes as of yet.

it should be safe to assume that Casablanca is one of these top two. I think it is going to come out on top again - there was a stretch where it seemed to be on almost every new list posted.

Not every list was posted on the boards though.

I remember last, the count down post included filmspotter quotes. I think that was my favourite part. Any plans to do likewise this year?

and i am hoping it is happening on the 29th, has the date been finalized?
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

Assuming the fantasy football league draft doesn't get moved from the 30th, the countdown is 99% certain to be on the 29th.

Did I miss the fact there's going to be a filmspotter's fantasy league?
