Every time Haneke comes up in one of these it's a film I haven't seen.

Tarantino joins the Coens as one of only three directors (or directing teams) to be #1 in at least four polls. Hitchcock still has the most with five wins.

Hitchcock (5) - The Lady Vanishes, Shadow of a Doubt, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, Vertigo

Coen Brothers (4) - Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Fargo, Inside Llewyn Davis

Tarantino (4) - Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Vol. 1, Inglorious Basterds

Kubrick (3) - Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining

Wes Anderson (3) - Rushmore, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel

And Hitchcock still has North by Northwest to come... I don't think any of the other contenders have any aces up their sleeves for the remaining years.

Kubrick has a chance to move into a tie for second in 1999, but as has been noted there is a lot of competition. Hitchcock got the advantage of winning some early 30s/40s polls with much less competition.

Then again, the Coens, Tarantino, and Wes Anderson have the advantage of still being alive.

THAT'S A BINGO!

So glad that IB beat out A Serious Man. I was worried! ;)

After all.....
And Mr. Jiggy gets the 3-2-1 punch correct once again (if I recall correctly that this was not his first grand slam).

Maybe we should have a powerball outlier to the consensus results with a single vote for the movie most likely to make the top twenty that you'd rather poke out your eyes than see in the final list. I'm suspecting that maybe Karim's would be A Serious Man, Maxime G.'s would be Star Trek and mine would be Avatar :)

I would probably pick Bruno as my least favorite as well, but then again I wouldn't have expected it to make the list.

I didn't account for . . . CONSPIRACY.

Funny thing about that word. It won me a lot of money because it was the Final Jeopardy! clue on my winning day. :)

And Dirt, you are right. A Serious Man was worse than a poke in the eye the first time I had to sit through it. sharon peters knows my pain.
