To be fair, I'm actually really looking forward to it. Just looking for the right time to watch it. It's the only Tarkovsky that I haven't seen. 😨

Maybe I'll watch it Sunday or something. Midterms just ended, so I'll have a bit of time to catch-up.

Bolded my choices here, may see a few more films and have a more complete ballot (or not), but at least for now these are my votes

2a: The 400 Blows
2b: Stalker
2c: M
2d: Breathless
2e: In the Mood for Love
2f: The Woman in the Dunes
2g: La Jetée
2h: Seven Samurai
2i: The Mirror
2j: Akira (not a fan, but by default it wins easily)
2k: abstain. Hausu can't be worse than Benigni's movie, but I haven't seen it.
2l: Abstain.
2m: Abstain Haven't seen Touki Bouki but Spirited Away is gonna win the whole thing anyway so why bother.
2n: Abstain, haven't seen that Funeral... thingy
2o: Ugetsu vs. Ikiru This is a joke of a matchup. Going Ugetsu in the end however, but considering some other matchups, one of these two not making the next round is a disgrace.
2p: Abstain, haven't seen A separation.
