Too bad most of my 1991 films are listed as 1992 on Imdb. They only seem to get the dates right when it comes to US films. Well…

Thus you can vote for Three Days in 1992, and Days of Being Wild in 1990. ;-)

MovieGuide1
What I’m asking you to do is to fill a ballot with some titles of your own choice. 1991 must be the year of first release (according to IMDb).
- Each person votes for up to 20 movies. Do not feel compelled to fill the maximum allowable number, only true favorites.
– There is no need to rank the films except the number 1, it gets two points.
– You may change your ballot as many times as you’d like.
A certain standardization of the outcome is predictable, but it is not our goal to establish a Canon. It’s just a game and individual votes are the true centers of attraction.
Results will be presented in a specially created Movie List.
Thank you in advance for joining us in this game.
