This was very hard to limit to 10. Good luck to everyone that made the list. Sorry to all that didn't make it. Maybe next sale.

There's a reason why Cameron didn't make this list. Anybody else know?

I voted for IronWaffle, just because of AD - Season 3. I was going to include it on my list, but I figured you planned to get that anyway since you already own the first two seasons. So I suggested Undeclared instead.

I'm pretty surprised that I was picked for the final 10 since I was the last entry in the thread, thanks Kocheese.

Good luck to everyone

Bummed I didn't make it. I have to go with Joe Canadian as well. Everyone else has at least one selection that genuinely offends me. And in the case of DarthVong, all six.

You were in the top 10 when i first made the list. But something caught my eye. It was the Dune HD-DVD, it doesn't come out till 11/28. Which wasn't a problem until i rechecked the totals. Since Dune HD-DVD doesn't get 20% off your total came to about $53.60. I'm sorry i didn't catch it sooner, but i couldn't put you in the finals.

Looks like a 3 horse race right now, but there is still plenty of time for everybody to catch up.I think this might be the most votes in a poll we've ever had. Should break 100 votes by sometime tomorrow.

He needs Halloween 4 SE and 5 SE to replace the ones he gave away last time. Also he has Big Lebowski, but no Fargo!!!?

C'mon!!! Not to mention my list has a wide variety. You have Horror, Sci-fi, Drama, Comedy, and....uh, Horror.

Thanks. My list was chosen not because they were the best films out there but what I thought Kocheese would enjoy more based on what he already had. He seemed to be a horror flick fan so that is why the abundance of horror is there. The Elm Street flick was chosen because he has a few of the not so great films in the franchise and New Nightmare, I think, is actually pretty good.

At any rate, I'm a horse in the far distance. Thanks for the 7 votes, though, whoever you are. Next year I am only taking AFI top 100s.
