The MoFo 1990s Countdown pt II - Preliminary Thread

Sent mine, 7 different films than my first 90's ballot

Im sure i have no Nic Cage or Whitney Houston films on my list.

12 of the movies I voted for in the original 90s countdown failed to make my ballot this time.

I'm a little sad that IMDb lists Beau Travail as 1999 release date, but our database says 2000 and thus ineligible.

We're at 68 and two days away. Time for the big push!

I narrowed my list down to my top 25 movies. Now I just have to figure out the final order, (which might be harder than narrowing down the list), but I should be able to get my list in by tomorrow.

OPEN FLOOR.

I can't stress enough, read those rules, in particular No Shorts! - we're down to the wire, so don't get stuck with an ineligible on your lists and no time to fix it.

Don't get hung up on time zones, get them in early. If you wait to the last day - just wake up, fall out of bed, drag a comb across your head... then get online and submit your ballot, so the zone won't be an issue.

You'll be doing yourself a favor, plus, I will thank you; Yoda will thank you; hell, Paul McCartney will probably thank you too.

I have locked in and submitted my Top 25.

I probably would have tweaked the bottom 5 a bit had I more time, but I'm not going to agonize over it any more.

I watched about 50 movies in total for this Countdown, ranked them all, and truncated all but the Top 25.

4 animated movies & 1 foreign language movie made my list. Definitely would have leaned more into one or the other if this were a 2000s or '80s Countdown.

I'll put the over under of films that were on the last countdown at 78.

Nice, we reach the end of this so long preparatory period. I hope this time everything is all right, no volcano no pandemic no tsunami, and the countdown going to start exactly in couple (two) days.
This will be a deserved respect for participants and their cracked patience.
