That's fun, but a fool's errand in which you know every other voter is locking in the Kane's and Godfather's (and for admittedly good reason). I'd like to see what happens when we force all critics to embrace their inner-obscurist.

You know what I'd like to see? A separate list that stipulates you may only vote for films that have never appeared in the top 50 before.

In the Loop is something else, and I'm really looking forward to the write up. It's a total inversion of The Thick of It and even Veep, where everything is about making government look small and petty and reducing it to the sort of blind, amoral self-preservation that motivates most people's jobs.

I'm interested to see how her filmmaking career progresses. I really like her taste and take on films on TCM.

One of the nice things about "Old Hollywood" is when they had a cash cow to be milked to death, they just made another movie just like it with the same people that wasn't a sequel saddled with all the burdensome structural baggage and bringing the whole franchise down.
