I made http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67916&KW=movies" rel="nofollow - 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 (Multiple votes allowed.)

I have not seen any of these. Then again I'm not a huge movie watcher. ------------- https://gabebuller.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - New album! http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385 |

I thought I was a bit of a movie buff, but I hardly recognise any of these!

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. ------------- The future's uncertain and the end is always near. - Jim Morrison |

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. ------------- "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." -- H.L. Mencken |

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. |

I really enjoyed Angel Heart and Leon (but I suspect the remainder are way over my furry head even if I did see them  )

| Les 400 Coups. Truffault is a great filmmaker. I would very much like to snuggle up with Vompatti and watch it sometime, if that's okay. |

I made a list of the worst movies ever made last night. It happens to perfectly coincide with this list.

I am surprised that you know The Firemen's Ball  , which of course I know because I study Czech Studies. Still no vote from me. Although I have seen about half of the films you named here, no one really sticks out for me, sorry. ------------- http://theprogressiveweb.blogspot.de" rel="nofollow - Visit me in Second Life to talk about music. |

The 400 Blows by Truffaut for me. I´ve seen 8 or 9 of these as I recall. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |
