A Hard Day's Night advances 4-0 including my vote, though I still hold nostalgia for Clerks from my college days as a convenience store worker.
Children Of Heaven advances 2-0. This will be the first subtitled movie I show my daughter. She can't quite read fast enough yet. She gets 3 words before the screen changes.
The Straight Story vs. Sling Blade
Three Colours: Red vs. Princess Mononoke
The worst thing about being old is remembering when you were young - The Straight Story
The Straight Story advances 4-1 including my vote, another tough decision as both can have me in tears.
Three Colours: Red advances 5-0 including my vote. Miyazaki goes a somewhat surprising 1-3 in the first round.
