A couple things:
if you’re having trouble narrowing your list to 10, scroll up and remove any repeat nominations. This thread is to just fill out the list of players, not voting.
Just a list of titles will make it easier for me to track. If I can copy and paste your list without needing to delete any commentary it makes it a lot easier. Spacing doesn’t matter. Only include a year if there are multiple films with the same title.
We’re at 139 unique nominations. Nominations close when we get to 256.
