Okay, so it looks like Life of Brian is a lock at 5 votes. However, both 36th Chamber and Opening Night are tied at 4... I am honour-bound to support Opening Night... but I would not feel right dropping my support of 36th Chamber. I, however, would be willing to switch my 36th Chamber vote to Opening Night, if we're ready to wrap this up. Unless anybody really wants to advocate for 36th Chamber? |

I suspect the argument for it would be that we already have two Cassavetes but no Shaw Brothers kung-fu flicks. |

Then I'll leave the floor open for now, just in case.

Both 36th Chamber and Life of Brian now have five votes apiece, which would make them the final two movies on the list. Are we good to call it there?

Works for me.
This top 100 basically proves the '70s are the best decade in film. So many heavy hitters.

Only films I'm missing are The Friends of Eddie Coyle and Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion. Definitely a couple I'd like to rewatch though. |

I would imagine, when in about 15 years we do the top 100 movies of the 2010’s, we’ll nominate Geostorm 100 times and call it.
