I made this poll last year, but alas! not many votes were cast. How will it be this time? There's only one (1) way to find out -- but I'm not telling you which one! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!111!11!1

I have not seen any of these. Then again I'm not a huge movie watcher.

Sorry Vomps.  Nothing against your choices, I've just never seen any of them.

Barton Fink is the only one of these I've seen and it is a really good movie. It has a lot of symbols great acting. I love Goodman's acting in the film.

I've only seen four of these and out of them I chose Eyes Without a Face. A very haunting and atmospheric French horror film and pretty grisly for the time in one scene.

Only one I've seen is Leon (The Professional in the States).  Don't remember much about it.

Not only have I never seen any of these (although I've been meaning to get around to Barton Fink...), I've only ever heard of two.

Damn, I can't believe I have seen TWO of these films.

Obviously, of those two (Angel Heart and The Searchers) I'll choose the latter which is a western masterpiece over the former which is just a so-so pseudo-thriller.

Edit: Oh I forgot I have actually seen three. Leon is The Professional. It still rates below The Searchers for me.

Barton Fink is one of the Cohen Brothers' best films. So, had to go with that one.

Wow, you've exploring quite a lot, Vomps. I only saw three of these, Death in Venice (*****), Barton Fink (****1/2) and Leon (****). I know some of them are mandatory for film buffs (400 Coups, Firemen's Ball) and that I need to see them.
