I am pleased to announce the fugitive Feathers McGraw has been re-apprehended!
This is a public service announcement to allow citizens of BEA is it now SAFE to go outside again.
Unfortunately, he disregarded the intro to the poll as (quote) 'unintelligible scribble on a napkin'.
It lies in a garbage can in Kent.
But, luckily, as long as he is competently held in prison, I should be able to write the outro without a hitch—

twas but a fashionably packaged drug,
and Nosferatu came and—

*submarine noises*
*bangs*
*a kaboom or two*
*smoke everywhere*
*dust*
*rattling*
...



It is my unfortunate update to announce Feathers McGraw has escaped from prison and has stolen my beautifully written outro.
I apologize for any inconvenience.
Please lock your doors and enjoy the list.

Welcome!

Thank you to all who participated in the poll— as always, everyone's contributions are appreciated and considered

A total of 191 unique films were submitted. Special thank you to those who submitted acting and score lists, they'll be up first.

Films will be posted alongside their point tally. An asterisks (*) beside a film's point tally indicates it appeared on more lists than a film with an identical point tally, thus gaining an edge. I am mentioning this because it is important this time around.

Runner-ups in alphabetical order: The Apprentice, The Beast, Will & Harper
