> @Little_Nemo , you may want to give an example of how you want the answers formatted. As I recall, Rebo always did, because it made things easier to count. As I recall her format example, it went something like this:
> 
> Make your answers look like this:
> 
> 1. Answer A
> 2. Answer B
> 3. Answer C
> 
> … and so on.
> 
> Just a suggestion, but it may help with tallying the answers. Hope it helps!

I believe Rebo uses a program to produce the results so she likes a consistent format which makes it easy to enter the data.

I produce the results using a much more primitive method. I copy people’s posts into a wordpad document and then I cut and paste the responses into lists, which I then count by hand. So I’m pretty flexible on how people post their answers.

In my zeal not to read the other lists first, I didn’t catch on to the formatting formality.

If I repost with just the film titles (per what seems to be the accepted format), can the mods delete my other posts? I don’t want to be accused of entering more than once.

It doesn’t matter. As I said above, I figure up the results using C&P so I’m flexible with how people answer. I’ve already added your answers into the results.

Woohoo! Yes, I decided to try it as an antifeud about halfway down, then of course had to go back and make a few changes to what I had to that point.

It made for an interesting mental exercise. (Do I give _The Towering Inferno_ to Newman or McQueen?) I think I may to set up an antifeud for the board to do, and see how well it works when everybody is trying to be different.

I would have just put Citizen Kane down as my pick all ten times.

Actually, my entries are missing on a few, and they are unique, but I didn’t intend them to be. For Cary Grant, I picked _Notorious_, for Gene Hackman, I picked _The Poseidon Adventure,_ for Peter O’Toole I picked _The Lion in Winter_, and for Steve McQueen, I picked _The Blob._ Honestly surprised they got **no** matches.
