Too low for American in Paris but glad Welles's Othello slipped in.

What a HANDSOME bunch of movies so far. This makes me nervous that anything to come will be lesser than what we've had.

Written on the Wind first and so far only one from my ballot to appear. Feel like this one may be a bit under seen, should definitely be much higher! Lots of memorable moments and an all around great film, idk if it’s my fav Sirk but it’s well up there

Pickup on South Street way way way too low! I wasn’t the guy who put it #5 but I did have it at #7 on my ballot The Killing is pretty low as well but not as egregiously low as the Fuller film

I'm solidly liking most everything so far. Not many of these made my ballot, but the decade as a whole is so strong that most anything works.

A bit low for High Noon. Watched Nights of Cabiria for the first time recently and it might have made my ballot if I'd seen it earlier so glad it got in anyway.

High Noon and Nights of Cabiria should have been at least in the Top 30 !
