42 points
Choo-Choo!!!....That was the sound of the
Fight Club/Boogie Nights Express leaving the station about two days into the poll (see Burt and William, above, pondering our choices). As you can see, even though we had the same number of people voting, there was more of a uniformity of opinion, at least until you reach #8 and higher, there's a bejezus amount of movies hovering at the 11, 10, and 9 point mark. As you can see, the Coen brothers kicked some bootie again, this time scoring two movies in the Top 10. So what does everyone think about the canon? What does it say about the Milk Plus members and readers who voted, you know, besides having a kick ass taste in film? (I actually like this list better than our last on). Also, if anyone wants to share their honorable mentions, who hasn't already, go right ahead.
And if you missed out on the voting, feel free to share your own top ten list in this comments thread.
