You will be glad to hear that I already have a quote for most of these films. Do you want them added on a Google sheet like last time?

I will for sure submit a list; feel free to shoot me a PM if I somehow forget to submit it on time. I unfortunately don't think I have the energy to comment on everything I've seen this time.

Edit: And I went ahead and threw it together, so it's now been submitted.

Voting is officially closed. If someone still wants to vote now it's time to say it (I can extend the deadline a day or two). If no one stands out I'm planning to start the show tonight.
