Progress for May 1–31, 2019

NOTE: ICM handle is "dtsjr."

I'm currently #345 in the charts (up 12 spots)
3588 top list checks (+68)
4885 checks overall (+66) [Adding fewer "overall" checks than "top list" checks is weird. I can only assume some previously checked movies that didn't originally count as "top list" checks were added to top lists this month.]
#8 in the Filmspotting group "top member" ranking (no change)

My Top So-called Shames (unchecked titles on at least 15 official toplists) (no change)

Top de-shames:
The Best Years Of Our Lives (1946) in 27 lists
The Killers (1946) in 13 lists
The Silence (1963) in 10 lists
Which is your favorite  of these three?
I like that question a lot. Sorry for not responding to it until now! Of these three I'd preferably rewatch The Silence because of the psychological depth it holds. The Best Years Of Our Lives easily is the best written movie of the bunch, but I have issues with how neatly it is tied up. The Killers make a fast exit as I rarely get any kicks out of noir movies.
