The Departed is a classic that gets better and better every time I watch it.

I believe you. :)

I ended up with 4/20.

Is it any wonder when:

I'm still waiting for the surprise appearance of Speed Racer.
Still holding out hope for a surprise appearance by Miami Vice.

Speed Racer???? you need to get to a rehab clinic.

I don't like the final frame of the departed, it really spoilt it for me.

Well, no a good set for my picks:

6     On my list (I am pretty sure Amelie was on my list)
6     Seen
8     Not Seen

Only 1 I slightly disagree with The Departed, but there is obviously a lot of love out there for it.

So I'm really happy with this top 20. I think 10 of them made my ballot, and I at least like all of them, most of them a lot. Only 2 I haven't seen.

I've seen 15, and voted for 12 of the 20. I'm moderately surprised that neither the Lord of the Rings nor Kill Bill made it. I was holding out hope for another Pixar and Grizzly Man to make it, but I can't say I'm surprised by those omissions.

Thanks to the guys who put this together.

I've seen 16/20.  I wish I remembered what my ballot was to see what I put on there. :\

I just looked in my outbox.

Very happy In the Mood for Love made it! Wish Grizzly Man had. Surprised but glad no LotR movies made it.

So my total is 11/20 : Shaun, Once, Eternal Sunshine, Amelie, The Lives of Others, In the Mood for Love, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Mulholland Dr., Punch Drunk Love, Children of Men

If I had the chance to vote again, I'd probably not include Eternal Sunshine, Amelie, No Country, There Will Be Blood, and Children of Men. I really like all of those movies a lot, but I'm just not all that passionate about them. Also, these movies have plenty of love without my vote. :)

I must have the setting where it doesn't save to the outbox.  No dice.
