Happy with that, but not as strong as others I feel. I blew my horror pick of pre 1950's as I was sure The Testiment of Dr Mabuse would have been listed in Letterboxd in that category. I just picked my favourite monster movie thereafter, which probably wasn't a smart move. Hey ho.

Seriously, when is the next draft?

Chakan - Sorry Samie
red mongoose - John has some wonderful films like Amelie, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Toy Story but also has Everything Everywhere All At Once but mongoose's selection chimes more with my own tastes in terms of preference (True Romance, Royal Tenenbaums & Aliens? Yes please) so went with him.
Musketeer Gripweed - Close one this, Draex has a lot of films I like like Guardians of the Galaxy, The Dark Knight and Silence of the Lambs but Musketeer's just about edges it, especially with the likes of Spirited Away, Pulp Fiction and Memento.
Betty - Like above, Andy has some good choices, but Betty just has films I love a lot more, Blade Runner, Princess Bride and Groundhog Day, Fury Road and 28 Days Later in particular.

I need two more votes so we can have another exciting runoff

Mongy, those Thai beers have done you no favours as the voting is closed.
