I wandered down Poverty Row, and I can't find my way out. Whoops. I have a Lubitsch, a Dreyer, and a Powell & Pressburger sitting unseen, while I marathon B westerns.
When I first started participating in these polls, I struggled to fill out a full 20. Happily, in my preferred era at least, I'm starting to know what I think of as the 'Gusottertrout' problem - too many options of roughly equal quality to choose from in the bottom ten. I'll have to think about what I want to prioritize, based on other ballots and the fancies of the moment. A happy dilemma to have!

Hey now! Well, yeah, I guess that's true enough when you end up watching scads of mass market releases, major or fringey, the differentiation gets to be along a narrower set of lines tied to things that may only stand out from the distance of time. I mean I dig binging on B movies for that reason, seeing them in bulk gives a feeling of context, but also keeps 'em all feeling a bit strange for that context being so removed. Good way to learn things that aren't capital A Arty, which isn't of course to everyone's preference, but I'm sure Lencho knows all about that too with his deep dives into different film histories. It isn't everyone who's gonna be interested in assessing whether or not there's any differentiation to be made in Cantinflas flicks, or Mongram westerns, or the filmography of Richard Wallace after all.
But, really, it ain't that different than anyone else's favoring of different genres, directors, national cinemas, or whatever else, from lighthouse films to hunting for underappreciated Balkan masterworks, other than the commercial aspect carries some different strategies for assessment and claims about the works that are sometimes a bit orthogonal to those for niche or arty films, and of course subject to all sorts of individual interpretation when any given concept may be applied and fit into our own "rankings" of merit.

Oh, I hope it's clear I meant it as the highest compliment! And more a tribute to how many movies you've seen than anything particular about the kind of movies, though yes, come to think of it, you're quite right that it's probably more the result of my having been binging B movies than anything else. I do hope I can hold myself to watching a few more real esteemed classics before the deadline, as that might help me separate the silver from the dross.
I don't think of it like that, and didn't take it as an insult at all, I was just having some fun with getting a, um, syndrome? named after me. I mean it's great to keep an eye open to a lot of different things to see how they might feed off of each other or just in how expand our thinking about them and other works, but I think mining a deep vein can be profitable in ways browsing a wider shallow field might not be, even when just trying to see "masterworks". (of course that way has its own benefits that deep digs don't have too). Looking at commercial works offers a more direct path of association between the works and some notion of the public awareness of the era and the form that can lead to a comparative appreciation and/or allow an aesthetic experience that isn't as possible otherwise for having delved into a point of conceptual history outside one's own. It can provide a kind of tension that is at the heart of the aesthetic experience, but one different than a more individualized "masterwork" might provide. Not necessarily better nor necessarily worse, just a different kind of appreciation that has its own rewards.

It's too late for recommendations, but I want to mention Danger: Women At Work for its lovely gynocentric playfulness, Patsy Kelly as a truckin' gal who scoots around on the interstate picking up all the female hitchhikers. Edgar Ulmer all up in the screenplay and shit.

Looks splendid!
Another title mix-up: the English title for Strich-Punkt-Ballett is Ballet of Lines and Dots, so it's on there twice too - should be 10 points in total for BoLaD.

noted, fixed, and updated! thx much
I feel like I overvalue Gang's All Here compared to most others, but cats just haven't seen Stormy Weather. Suprised by how Ox-Bow performed. I think I'm the only one who doesn't like those Val Lewton movies (seen 9 of 11, rated none higher than 3/5)
