You Think We’re in Ohio Yet? Road Movie Nominating/Voting Thread - VOTING CLOSES MIDNIGHT, MAY 15th

This Like Crazy is in Italian - two women from mental facility take car on the road. It's being presented as new here in Los Angeles.

Also, I just sent my ballot via your ILX email.

Got it--thanks, appreciate that.

Oh! That's great. I'll get this to you tomorrow, then (one more thing I wanna rewatch first).

Just sent one in there. Didn't say but just weight it equally, 1 most points to 25 least ta

Would you like me to change the title to give a finishing date for ballots?

Thanks, that'd be great: midnight, May 15.

or something: 25-1 doesn't work--it adds up to 325 points. I sent you an alternative, see if that works.

Watched The Scarecrow (1973) for this last night. Previously unaware of it, shared the grand prize at Cannes. Hackman and a nice comic turn from Pacino, beautifully shot by Vilmos Zsigmond. A happy find.

Also saw Lupino's The Hitch-Hiker. William Talman (the DA on Perry Mason) has a great time playing the baddie.

nobody's mentioned "Dumb and Dumber" yet.

It's in the nomination list.

Emil.y and cryptsicko, wherever I may find them: we're on the clock now--get those damn ballots in! I do appreciate that you're putting care and thought into this. But if your third favourite is actually your fifth favourite, or if you leave off something that should have been #22, it's not a big deal. On the road of life, this poll is but a five-minute detour for drive-through coffee in the middle of Wisconsin.

Hoping for those two, plus two more--that'd be 20.

Coming up shortly! Btw, I read 'midnight, May 15th' as being midnight tomorrow, not midnight tonight, if you get what I mean?

Okay, sent. I actually ended up with too many films that I wanted to put on the list, but I think it's a solid ballot in the end.

Yeah, I goofed there--meant midnight tonight, which is more accurately the 14th.

xp
Yeah, I had about eight that I finally decided to cut, so I didn't end up giving a lot of films 1 or 2 points.

It's coming! After dinner + walking the dogs, I'm watching one more road movie, just in time to squeeze the ballot in before midnight.

One more road movie for the road...

Voted with three mins to spare. In my haste, I forgot the points breakdown but the one you quoted to me upthread works.

Here's a surprise: the actor to appear in the most number of films on my ballot is Randy Quaid.

Thanks, everyone. I'll get images ready the next couple of nights, then do #40-21 on Wednesday, #20-1 on Thursday. Nineteen ballots, so just missed 20. I won't start embedding text into images until tomorrow night; I'm working from an easily updateable spreadsheet, so if any ballots show up overnight or through the day tomorrow, I'll count them.

Really looking forward to the images in the countdown! Realised I forgot Something Wild on my ballot so hoping others didn't.

Something Wild was one of the ones I cut. Kind of a Sophie's Choice with each of them.

Sent!

Which was the elusive 20th ballot I was hoping for--thanks...#41-50 are strong, so I'll do #50-31 on Wednesday, #30-11 on Thursday, and the Top 10 on Friday. I want to do it during the day, which'll mean posting from work; the posts will be half-an-hour apart, but I'll get everything set up ahead of time so I can work that. ("Teacher, teacher--" "Just give me 15 seconds here.")
