I have a feeling I am going to be the only person without No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood on their list. The former I thought was great, but I didn't love it, and the latter I haven't seen yet.

PS: Ratatouille and A Bug's Life might be the only Pixar films (out of the ones I've seen) that I don't really love or favor a good deal. Even though the 2007 release is a great film.

Ivan --

Please just edit your original list and delete the second post so that I don't have to count it twice. Thanks.

**Spinal** · 10-15-2008, 10:45 PM

If you list Grindhouse, I will assume that you are talking about the film as originally released in theaters in the USA.

If you list Planet Terror or Death Proof, I will assume that you are talking about the complete cuts of each film as seen on the DVD releases or perhaps at screenings at festivals or different countries.

I don't know how else to tally it.

**Silencio** · 10-15-2008, 10:50 PM

1. There Will Be Blood
2. 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days

One of the best top fives I've ever made. Ridiculously good year.

You will also be the only one with The Simpsons Movie on the list. Huzzah!

Why not just put Grindhouse at #1?

What has everyone else done? Has anyone listed them singly?

I just think it has a better chance of making the top ten if you consolidate the votes into one thing. Unless someone really likes one and not the other. But you seem to like both quite a lot.

**Spinal** · 10-16-2008, 03:44 AM

I'm going to count up the Rodriguez/Tarantino thingie as three separate entities, but if a common sense look at the data reveals that there is enough support for some incarnation of it to be on the list, then it will get worked out. I just don't know what that looks like until I see it.

Make Secret Sunshine your top priority.

This is the one I have the highest hopes for. Oasis was amazing, and I've heard the same about Peppermint Candy, though I've yet to see it.
