{* = HONORABLE MENTIONS BACKINGS}



The initial backings/negations stay.

Adding a special "Giant Monster" films section at the end for due consideration, since it was demanded.

Remember, we are here to select TWO films from the remaining ones from the DEBATABLE section onwards.
The "In The Cut" section is NOT for debate.

Once that is done, we can proceed to select SIX films from the remaining films for our Honorable Mentions.

OR, if everyone is in joint agreement, we can shortlist TWO films from the 4-votes section which have the maximum backings for our Top 22, and get the Honorable Mentions from the rest.

OR we can go the old-fashioned way and debate till we get our chosen films.

Either way, let's hear it.

[neverending]

Pumpkinhead and The Fog

[The Villain]

I forget. Can I back a film that I backed last time? I can't remember.

If I can then Demons and Pumpkinhead.

If not then The Fog and Pumpkinhead

I love Child's Play but it shouldn't be on the list. I do think it should be included in the honorable mentions.

Nope, you can't.

NE's & Villain's opinions added. Looks like The Fog will be joining the ranks as the 21st chosen one for the 80s.

[Straker]

Really have to get behind The Changeling here guys.... It's such an oversight that this didn't make the original 20. I'd put it amongst the best ghost/ haunted house movies ever made. George C. Scott is outstanding as the troubled composer and Melvyn Douglas puts in a stellar performance in what I imagine would have been one of his last appearances on screen. This one really is a timeless classic that needs to be recognised. The ultimate 'Things that go bump in the night' movie. Full of tension, atmosphere and genuine chills with barely a drop of blood in sight.

I completely missed it there. I actually thought it was already in. I've recently seen it and agree with you, it is amazing movie and really scary. Definitely deserving to be on this list. I'd like to remove my backing of The Fog and back The Changeling instead.

Agree. I think the Changeling is the one most worthy of the top 22. I'll back it.

[Kandarian Demon]

So am I getting this right, if it was in your original 20 movie list, you can't back it?

[metternich1815]

I'll back Near Dark and The Changeling.

I don't think its if it was in your original 20. But when we first started backing films, if you backed a film and it didnt get in, your backing from that period remains so you can't double back it. You'd have to either plead your case for the movies you've already backed or back new ones.
