No idea if you'd like any of them of course. @Telemachos Is Black Book eligible if it wasn't commercially released in the States until April 2007, but was submitted for a foreign language Oscar to the February 2007 awards? See also The Lives of Others which was also released in theaters in February 2007 but won the Oscar at the same ceremony which was honoring the best films of 2006. Black Book: if it was released in the US any time in 2007, it's eligible. Lives of Others: it played publicly in an Oscar-qualifying run in December 2006, so it's technically a 2006 release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it alright, would give a 7 or so, but I don't believe a top 25 should have 7/10 movies. It's not a 'movies that didn't suck' list, after all.

Joel M Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) There are some highly regarded movies like Assasination of Jesse James, Eastern Promises and My Winnipeg that I always wanted to watch and then never did, but I don't think I'll get around to watch them until the deadline.

It's not a 'movies that didn't suck' list, after all. If you haven't seen a total of 25 movies above 7/10 then 7/10 is what you'll have in your top25, it seems logical to me, but okay, different points of view then. Also, your first point wasn't that, it was that your list was too mainstream. I don't see the problem with that either but different points of view once again I suppose.
