Fuck it, I'm extending the deadline. You've got til February.

my list will look almost exactly the same, because i've only seen a few movies since making the first one... and the only movie awesome enough to be added is kieslowski's "blind chance" (probably in the late 10s-early 20s).

If the lord of the rings has one entry then can I give the Bourne trilogy a single entry too? Ill probably be the only person who votes for those, but I want to include more movies and those three movies are like one movie to me. Maybe the same with the dark knight trilogy?

Bourne, sure, but I feel the Batman films are too disconnected to really be counted as a trilogy.

that works for me
