    • Confusion may be a factor. I’d hoped that including the years would eliminate that, but given the sheer number of votes for the 1936 Flash Gordon serial, I suspect some voters ignore the years. The 1980 Flash Gordon film is still to come.

      When the tournament is over, I’ll release the results of the voting. There are a lot of suprises here that could make things very, very interesting down the road.

  1. See, I wouldn’t include it among greatest titles, and I suspect other Bureau-cats felt the same. I enjoyed Gilliam’s take on Munchausen, but it’s uneven and overly long, and I have a fondness for Return of the Living Dead (Have we ever reviewed that here?), but I would never rank it “above average.”

  2. Incidentally, Robot and Frank (2012) is not only going to get a second shot at votes in week 24 (with the other 2012 releases) but it comes out on DVD this coming Tuesday, February 12.
