I'll have more news of the LA sojourn soon, but in the meantime...
I've posted before about the daily poll that is conducted via imdb.com's daily email. The polls (and the results) tend to skew heavily toward new(ish) movies, but I still always kind of kid myself that the respondents are movie buffs who have an interest in films of every era.
I really am so naive.
Check out today's poll and its results so far.
What's your favorite movie to receive Oscar nominations in all four acting categories?
| I care for none of these films | 3820 | (31.9%) |
| Sunset Boulevard | 1809 | (15.1%) |
| Bonnie and Clyde | 1745 | (14.6%) |
| A Streetcar Named Desire | 1737 | (14.5%) |
| Network | 1236 | (10.3%) |
| Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? | 650 | (5.4%) |
| From Here to Eternity | 487 | (4.1%) |
| Reds | 220 | (1.8%) |
| Mrs. Miniver | 141 | (1.2%) |
| Coming Home | 113 | (0.9%) |
I have no particular quibble with the order of the films -- in fact, I'm somewhat cheered by the fact that SUNSET BOULEVARD is the top choice of those prepared to name a favorite -- but nearly a third of the voters saying they don't like ANY of those movies?
Sigh ... that's just depressing.
