I just had a thought, since Pelham 123* is a remake, should we consider watching reasonably original films or compare the post-viewing with the original films?
* John Travolta with gun. Again. Like its not like he's being typecasted is he since the late 90's 
Back to the Future.
Marty and Doc are a great team

Not really a good choice of software for a poll
Does "Submit Another Response" mean that you can change your vote? add a second option? or even a third?
Is this done through proportional representation where if the first vote doesn't get 50% of the vote the votes are recast according to some strange formula?
We need to know!

Haha, browni 
Yea, we have a poll functionality we could use, but we might want to use it for other things than these film nights now and again.
I admit the vote is quite 'riggable' on Gdocs, but it's more about the fun of it, I guess

I sort of miss the pointless and mindless polls 
they tended to say more about the pollster than the voters!:smileytongue:
