So The Z, John from Cincinnati, and The Natural are the prize-winners. I'll be in your DMs at some point this weekend. Gotta look into getting region 2 DVDs for the Europeans...

I think third place is my best ever placement. Might have a previous third placement. Never thought I'd finish in the top three in 2023 as I was in last place for a time. Sucks DVDs are certain regions. Apologies for that. I don't have region free means.

Thanks as ever for running this, S.K.o.S. It's one of my favourite things in my time on the board and I've been a regular poster here since September 2005. So glad it's returned this year. Cheers!

Nice!  I never thought I'd actually win this thing one time, I even nailed the the breaker.

Completely seconded. I don't even post that much on the board anymore, but this is still one of my favorite things. Thanks, S.K.o.S.!

Congratulations to the winners!

I can only imagine what shitty movie Rippa will send to me to review.  

It probably won't even be a shitty movie.  He will send me a copy of Hoop Dreams and demand I give it a ********** review because I fucked up and left it off of my Best of Docs ballot.

I'm surprised the Ghost of Roger Ebert isn't already haunting you for that one. Someone tell him! He's probably hanging out here in town at the Virginia where his statue is outside.

As the tenth place finisher, I couldn't have done this without hard work and my amazing research team...

WAIT...I FINISHED TENTH?!?

"J.Teeeeeeeeeee.... Hoop Dreams was my movieeeeee of the yearrrrrrrr for 1994... what's wrooooooong with youuuuuuuuuu..."

I hate all of you.  Especially Curt and Rippa.
