Haven't seen Stray Dog, but those first three? *Chef's kiss*
Unfortunately, that Minnelli is easily the worst entry so far

Gaslight '44 making the Top 50 but the better Gaslight '40 nowhere to be found forgot there is the '40. If a ballot wasn't differentiated by year I defaulted to this and nobody that did note the years picked the '40... Hopefully that wasn't the case  |
