if you've seen eleven, you're welcome to post a 5-film ballot (and that might really help me out, because there's still a tie for 1st even after factoring in your ballot, but if you lengthen your ballot that tie might be broken!)

Thirteen Days ** <--here ya go

thanks, was worth a shot! we still have a two-way tie for the top spot, so i'll leave the poll open a little longer in case another ballot comes in, and if not, we'll have a runoff vote

so we ended up with seven films all with between seven and eleven points, so a single first-place vote on a full ballot would have elevated the 7th place film into 1st place. certainly the closest poll we've ever had by some measures of close, at least. i thought we had a tie for first too, but that was before i noticed roscoe had edited his ballot - the tie is now broken, no need for a runoff vote:
