A week ago, I never would've predicted that Happy Together and The Ice Storm would make the top ten, particularly as non lifesaver inclusions. Great job, guys. Voting for Chasing Amy and Crash.

Save Lost Highway

This top 8 is really cool. I'm not a huge fan of Happy Together, but seeing Wong Kar Wai in the top 10 is incredible.

Voting to save The Full Monty and Austin Powers.

u/Nikkiv1020 avatar

Austin Powers was almost my vote! I voted The Full Monty and Gross Pointe Blank, but AP and Chasing Amy were hard to pass up.

Chasing Amy and Waiting for Guffman pls

Starship Troopers and In the Company of Men

Donnie Brasco

Voting Hercules and Gattaca

Donnie Brasco and As Good As It Gets.

Gattaca and The Game didn't get in? Have to rectify that.

I’m voting for As Good as it Gets & In the Company of Men. AGAIT is a wonderful film which was absolutely a top 5 film in 1997. ITCOM is a chilling masterpiece which should have received acting & writing nominations.
