I had to check the original debate thread (http://horror.com/forum/showpost.php...&postcount=310). Interesting, A Clockwork Orange is not in the 1970's Master List, and naturally not in the leadoff Summation/debate page. I searched for the name of the film during the collection and discussion/debate posts, and it does not appear (making it unknown how it got in Recommendations).

The reason it wasn't in the 70's master list (the top standard you were using) is the imdb.com genre listings, A Clockwork Orange are listed as: Crime | Drama | Sci-Fi.

Anyway, it's your call, V. Officially, it was not included in our 100 Years of Horror competition. (I never considered it Horror.) I just had to find out what happen to it.

Thanks, Gigan, I was pretty sure that was in there somewhere.

I'd also like to vote for adding A Clockwork Orange to the list.

Nobody supported Clockwork for inclusion. And it wasn't in the 1970 Master List. Film genre stepchild. ::wink::
Case closed.

You keep overlooking (purposely?) this part of V's statement on Clockwork Orange:

It's also at the top of the Sickest, Gorific, Disturbing and Controversial film compilation - the Visually Challenging 100.

It's already in one of our horror lists, and therefore is eliminated from consideration in this compilation. Can we move on now?

I didn't get the impression he was trying to belabor the point. "Case closed."

Unfortunately, I think there are a lot of great films that won't get the recognition they deserve on our lists because they're not quite horror. Requiem for a Dream, Memento, Donnie Darko. Hey, I propose that as an idea for our next list: The Top N Not Quite Horror Movies.

(I'm guessing Requiem is on the "Disturbing" list at least.)

So, let's pick up from where we left this...

Now that the Master List is posted and everyone has had ample time to study the films on it, let's go back to those which saw the most number of nominations:-

The SIX films with FIVE or more nominations each, and
the SEVEN films with FOUR nominations.

All in favor of including?

Objections, if any?

Im in favor/approve of all we've picked so far.

Meh. I'm sick. I'm not up to the battle, and I'm losing what precious little writing time I have.

I'm out.

I've shared my thoughts, let's move on.

Get well soon, Lee.

The only one out of the list of 4 and 5 vote getters that I don't care for is The Matrix...it's not even close to my top 100.

I also think there are a lot better Westerns than Once Upon A Time In The West...

I'd probably neg vote those...but I'm sure I would be outvoted or overruled by others.
