12 films have made it in, by a vote percentage of over 50%.

We need to select EIGHT more films from the other two sections (preferably from the DEBATABLE section). 6 Honorable Mentions from the rest to be chosen later.

I have posted the names of the HDC-ians who sent in their unique choices, i.e., those which got only 1 vote, and that vote was theirs only.

Please post your reasons for choosing your unique films, your backing for the MINORITY & DEBATABLE selections, and why you feel your chosen ones should be included in the 8 remaining spots.

OR

If everyone is in agreement, we can toss in the SIX choices which got 4 votes each (right now in the DEBATABLE top), and proceed to choose TWO more from the rest. That way we end up with our selected 20.

So, go ahead. Post your views.
