Other than my severe disappointment that Assault on Precinct 13 didn't even get close to making the top 10, great game everybody. Thanks for joining in, I have so much stuff to check out as a result of this round. I think I really need to make The Killing of a Chinese Bookie a priority in particular, since it looks exactly like my kind of thing.

Here's the next round.

Well done, good effort

Also thanks specifically to everybody who was busy or didn't know enough films but still gave me a small list, appreciate it and those little lists can be game changers. Avoided a few ties thanks solely to those lists.

Solid final list.

Somewhat surprised I was the only one to list (or even mention) In the Realm of the Senses. Has anybody else seen it or just not very impressed? Genuinely curious.

In my case, not seen. Not even heard of until your post.

You should check it out, I think you're probably the exact kind of person who would really appreciate it.

Ie a pervert?

I'll put my Criterion membership to use once it goes live

lmfao no it's not really that kind of sex movie. It's very arthouse and beautiful.

I love it but just sort of forgot it was from '76.

Ouch.

ha, i was surprised obv max didn’t list it, now i know why. i haven’t seen it myself.

i’m pretty surprised assault on precinct 13 didn’t make it! would’ve thought that’d be a forum favourite.
