Thanks to all who contributed!
Crap. How did I miss adding Veradas to my list? It’s easily my second favorite film from ‘78…oh well, I’m glad it showed up in the final tally any way…
1953 is going to be a lot more difficult to pare down from what I can see. A lot of good stuff that year…

Your point for TRAILS has been counted now. I have yet to watch it myself.
I have 1953 ready is the poll going up today?
Hey, thanks Movieguide! I wasn’t expecting you to change anything! Oh, and for the record, I guess I shouldn’t have said easily my second favorite since I like Tree of Wooden Clogs about as much, and I’d have dropped Comes a Horseman from my final list to add Veradas in case anyone was curious, not that it makes a difference in the over all tally, but I want to play fair and the last two films on my list are more personal pleasures than Horseman was.
