A last minute rush decided the winner for your favorite Billy Wilder film:
THE RESULTS:
- Some Like It Hot: 6 votes
- The Apartment: 5 votes
- Sunset Blvd: 3 votes
- Double Indemnity: 1 vote
- Sabrina: 1 vote
- Stalag 17: 1 vote
- The Lost Weekend: 1 vote
The Apartment got off to a quick lead, but the screwball sensibilities of Some Like It Hot ended up prevailing after all. I guess I underestimated the fans of that film because I figured it would be a tossup between The Apartment and Sunset Blvd. Interesting results. Good to see others such as The Lost Weekend and Stalag 17 get votes as well.
This Week’s Poll: With Magic Mike doing surprisingly well at the box office this weekend, I thought it would be fun to take a look at director Steven Soderbergh’s filmography. With such a long and diverse career, I am curious to see what you guys select as his best film.
Hope everyone has had a great weekend! And Happy Canada Day to those up north!
I’m probably going to be the only voter for Che I suspect. Or am I wrong?
That’s hard to say. I don’t think as many people have seen Che, unfortunately (myself included), so you could be right. It’s definitely on my must-see list though!
Man, The Apartment just missed number 1.
Yeah, I’m a little bummed about that one. But at least it had a strong showing.
Ah my Lost Weekend vote stands alone. Oh well, Wilder is the man, plain and simple.
Yeah, I was hoping that would get more votes as well. Definitely one of the best Wilder films I have seen.
