I introduced some pals to Creepshow recently and they really dug it (thank goodness, otherwise we'd have to stop being pals). I was especially pleased that they each made an astute observation: "Are we supposed to hate Billie? I don't, she's fun."

Starting to wonder if my email went through. One movie on my list (Society) hasn't shown up yet, and as much as I personally love it I can't believe it would be in the top 20. :P

I checked my inbox, spam, and trash and I don't see it anywhere. Sorry about that!

I'm a little excited, cuz at this point, it looks like 7 of my top 20 made the top 20. Unless I missed them somewhere (although only The Fog feels like one that might miss the top of the list)

This has been so fun!

I was afraid my list had gotten lost (or detained past the deadline) when the remake of "The Blob" failed to appear in the one or two vote territory where I was certain it would be, but it finally turned up with five(!) votes. It's nice to know that if the sequel promised by the last scene ever turns up I'll potentially have four other people in the theater with me. Five tickets at current movie prices is nothing to sneeze at -- Hollywood, are you listening?

Was anyone else surprised at the showing of any of their picks?
