Also Wages of Fear is awesome, same director as well. Oh and High and Low was made in the '60s so it doesn't really apply to this one.

Anyway here are the films with at least two votes so far.

  • Rear Window IIII
    12 Angry Men IIII

    Vertigo III
    The Seven Samurai III
    Casablanca III

    M II
    Gone With the Wind II
    Rashomon II
    Dial M for Murder II
    Citizen Kane II
    North by Northwest II
    Ben-Hur II

    The Wages of Fear I
    Pinocchio I
    Fantasia I
    Notorious I
    The Wizard of Oz I
    Modern Times I
    The Treasure of the Sierra Madre I
    Double Indemnity I
    Some Like it Hot I
    City Lights I
    Sunset Blvd. I
    Rebecca I
    Rio Bravo I
    Paths of Glory I
If I counted correct its 26 films, we'll give it another day and if we don't get enough to fill out at least a field of 32 (though I was hoping for 64 since this is three decades) I'll open it up to have people add an additional 10 nominations.

Hey weath this is from RIFA

RIFA wrote:The number of votes only matter to determine which movies will qualify instead of others. We have 70+ movies mentioned here so we have the minimum of 64. I'll make the draw for the rest of the movies from all the movies with 1 vote and I'll post the draws. That's how it was done each time.

Yeah that's what I did last time, I just thought it would be nice to narrow it down a bit more based on preference rather than chance.
