Better luck next time to Rhub' and Rebel, it was a very tough round, one of the strongest I've ever seen. Thanks to Gimli and Matty for getting the votes counted so swiftly and for everyone who took part. Now excuse me while I let out a quiet "Fuck yeah!"

Finally, you won. Now you can go back to nominating interesting films again....

I honestly didn't think it would make the final three.

Motherfucker, I'm not the one who nominated Lawrence of Arabia in the most desperate attempt to win I've ever seen.

Actually, that's true, I'm not sure which film is baiting-er. It lost to a mediocre film, though, so whatever.

Well done, rawlinson.

Rhubarb and Rebel Scum - if it's any consolation, it's the tightest result we've ever had. It could easily have been any three of them right up until the last vote was counted.

I voted for Ikiru above my own entry. Awesome choice and a fitting Hall of Famer.

I'm also kind of glad another film didn't get the win, even though I thought it would.

Thanks guys. It was a great round of films. Another great round coming up with the horror one, and for those not taking part (and indeed for those taking part) we'll be opening the call for members, both long and short term, after the horror round has started (Probably at the weekend)

Does this mean me and Homer wont have to put up with the 100 or so nomination changes every time you think you have found a film which is more likely to win?

That's not why I make changes. I make changes because usually I'm the first one to decide on a nomination and then the waiting period makes me rethink it.

Congratulations, Rawls. It is great to see a Kurosawa in the Hall of Fame, and it is a great movie.

Thank ya. And Modern Times would have been a really deserving winner. Finding a new love for it was one of the highlights of the round for me.

Once again, I apologise for having to back out of this, real life got in the way, However I'm very glad to see Ikiru win, it's a brilliant film. It's better than Se7en by several country miles.
