[El Lobo]

Robbie and Max

[Chakan]

Max and Lastrador

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Robbie and Max for me

But like the other one, good picks all around

Very difficult to pick options

All because I didn't let you have Mary Poppins, Andy?

Just went for my personal favourites among those that were voted for. But some crackers in the ones I didn't go for also.

I suspect I'll be getting nil points.

This'll be me..

[Draex]

Voted Max! Stonking list.

[Lawnmowerman]

Max and last for me. Max has a decent list and Pelham and Barry lyndon got last over the line

[Max_powers]

Went for myself and Lastrador.

Although John and Robbie also have fair few films that I absolutely love, Barry Lyndon, Hiroshima Mon Amour and All that Jazz swayed my vote towards Lastrador.

[Sheer Magnetism]

Max and John for me, both are near enough faultless.

[RobbieRedman]

well done Lastrador & Max

tight group in the end

[Lastrador]

Unlucky Robbie and John. Great lineups you had there. Really tight till the end, like it deserved.

Congrats to my film twin Max.

[John_P]

Glad I got some votes in the end!

Cheers for asking me to take part, really annoying that I've missed all the previous decade drafts.

One of those was me! Loved the A Matter of Life and Death pick especially. Such a beautiful film and so incredibly ahead of its time.

I regret not calling out more widely in the other decades, especially as we didn't have full uptake in most of them   

Still up for doing a best of/all decades version after this if people fancy it. Otherwise maybe we can think of some other film draft ideas 

[Hazell]

We could do decades ones again, maybe change up the categories or add some new ones. This drafts been fun with some new names so it wouldn't be the same old.

What about an all animated films draft, probably cover decades from 70s forward (6 decades), Start of cinema to 1960s, European Animation, Asian Animation, Wildcard.

Though animation maybe too specific to go on.
But as Guillermo Del Toro says its a medium, not a genre.

That would be good too. Could add shorts or shows perhaps?
