-Achievement in Cinematography
-Weird movies
Don't know if I'll do it or not, but these would be my votes.

i'd put off the 2nd Top 100 until September.

I'm in.  No particular opinion as to topic, but if it is one of the nationality ones, I'd rather not have the qualifiers of movies left out.  There are a lot of classics that I know I haven't seen and being assigned one would be the push I need.

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.

I vote for not Italian films since I've only seen like 2, and just about everyone has likely seen them, so I would be unable to dictate.

A topic that allows me to dictate either Not Another Teen Movie or Hotel for Dogs would be ideal though.
