Vote for any and all movies you would be interested in seeing for the next week (~Jan. 29th, NA). The movie with the most overall votes wins. You may rank your votes from most preferred to least (do not rank movies you would not vote for) so I don't have to @ you back in case of a tie. If you do not intend to vote and are fine with whatever wins, please reply with "No Vote" so there is as little of a waiting period as possible. If you list multiple movies in your vote but you are not ranking them, please include "Not Ranked" along with your vote (I will assume they are ranked otherwise). Please vote by Friday, Jan. 29th, 8:00 PM EST/5:00 PM PST

Little Women

Thoroughbreds
I agree with what everyone says about the technical merits of this film. It's very well shot, the sound design is top-notch, the acting is great, and so on. There's just one big problem for me: I didn't care at all about the story. I'm not even entirely sure why. Part of it is the way the movie withholds so much information that the characters know, which made it hard to understand why stuff is happening. Part of it is that I personally don't like movies about rich people problems (even if this one is partially about how empty their lives are). Thoroughbreds is a good movie and I don't regret watching it or anything, but it's just not for me. Raka_Putra posted...

Vote for next week:
Three Identical Strangers (2018) Psycho (1960) Trying to stick with movies I haven't seen. I also haven't seen Little Women, but I have very little interest in seeing it and I don't have a way to watch it anyway. I might rewatch Lost in Translation if it wins, but not Booksmart. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! ... Copied to Clipboard!

For Thoroughbreds:
In Bruges - 9/10 Thoroughbreds - 7/10 Mother - 5/10 I know I keep switching my rating for Mother around. I might be doing this a little bit until we have more films on here so I have a bigger list to compare everything to. Sorry! --- Moops? "I thought you were making up diseases?

So I don't know why I thought this, especially since the section from the wiki I posted earlier in the topic showing what I read before going into the movie shows it to be false, but I just started watching Thoroughbreds and I was 100% certain going into it that the main characters were sisters for whatever reason.

JB changed and ranked LiT first so that gives it 4 first place votes which gives it the win. ... Copied to Clipboard!

so yeah sorry for the mess. i should have worked out a tiebreak situation beforehand. i thought we had enough of a base so that rankings would cover for ties.
i'll post my suggestions as to how this could be resolved if this happens again in the future. i personally don't think it's thaaat likely but if i guess if there's enough no-votes i guess it could happen ... Copied to Clipboard!

Thoroughbreds (SPOILERS)
Johnbobb posted... see I had that sense but not as a positive. the whole thing almost seemed to play out like Amanda's weird self-destructive fantasy, the way she was "getting" to people psychologically so quickly. I think maybe the main problem for me is I just didn't really like Amanda's character. I thought some of the family interactions were good. Anton Yelchin's character didn't come off quite right to me, either. It seemed to almost turn a corner a few times but never quite got there. I agree that visually it's pretty good. Not the worst A24 movie I've seen, 5/10 --- azuarc wasn't even home. he was playing Magic the Gathering at his buddy's store, which is extremely easy to verify ... Copied to Clipboard!
