That Thing You Do! - Nice to see this one come up in a tourney. I love this movie!

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Mystery Train, easily (no doubt this was Vickie's pick, being the Jarmusch fan she is)!
I love American Movie but must abstain as I have not seen All the Mornings of the World . My apologies to Mark Borchardt for not being able to vote his way!
BTW, Vickie, have you picked up the Criterion DVD of Down by Law? Very nicely done!

BTW, Vickie, have you picked up the Criterion DVD of Down by Law? Very nicely done!

Not yet, my DVD-buying has been seriously curtailed by my current lack of a job. It's on my list.

Mystery Train
Heart of Glass - Ponette is incredible, but I can't justify voting for it because it crosses the line into the exploitation of children. Whenever you have an army of child psychologists on a set, you've gone beyond acting.
Shadow of the Vampire
ABSTAIN

 

[Brook K]

I've seen 1 movie in each of the first 3 and neither of the movies in the last.
Heart of Glass is fantastic, Mystery Train was ok, I liked the Asian storyline and the stuff with the hotel owner, but didn't care for the other stories, and Shadow Of The Vampire started out very good but grew progressively worse. I hated the ending.
I guess I could participate in one of these since it doesn't seem to be a big deal that there are so many abstentions.

 

[Vickie_M]
