I imagine at least one of my top choices showed up on multiple ballots, curious what the surprise might be

I've been doing some door-to-door canvassing...Getting there; 12 ballots, need 8 more. You have to go down to #24 right now for the first film with only one vote--but both #24 and #25 have only one vote. 20 ballots tend to smooth those quirks out.
It's not that the film I called a surprise (sitting fifth, one of three films on half the ballots) isn't great, I just thought it was more of a cult thing--that probably changed three or four years ago.

Something I should have clarified earlier, when it was nominated...Black Girl has gotten a couple of votes; I assume they're for the 1966 Ousmane Sembène film, not for the one Ossie Davis directed in 1972. (No need to answer unless I'm mistaken.)

Five more ballots to make quorum.
Meanwhile, I have an official popularity ranking based on the four polls I've run or co-run:
1. Neil Young2. Yo La Tengo3. road films4. political films
If you nominated, send a ballot today--I checked the nominating thread and there'd be room to spare.

Got the last two ballots, thanks (and sent a couple of questions via e-mail).
Three more--if you need longer, xyzzzz, no problem. I'll be doing images over the weekend.

18 ballots, one pending. The leaders are very close in points to the highest finishers in the road-film poll, though (20 ballots), so I'll post results on Monday/Tuesday regardless. Right now, I'd say a Top 35, which would avoid any single-vote placements. It'd be nice to get two more ballots at least, though, which would likely back that up to a Top 40.

That's 20, great. I'm going to start adding text to the images, so that's kind of it. But if anything else showed up today, I'd count it and adjust.

Damn, just sent one in. Hope it can slip in under the wire.
