Film that should be added to the Criterion Collection FINAL POLL CLOSED
In this poll, the MA board gets to decide one film that they think should be added to the Criterion Collection per year. You can vote for any reason: a film that you would like to see but can't due to lack of availability; a film you think has cultural or artistic significance; a film that you simply think would be an inspired pick; or perhaps just a movie you enjoy greatly. After 24 hours, votes will be tallied and a new film shall be inducted into the honorary Criterion Closet. Up to three votes per user.

Keaton took an early lead and never let go for the penultimate round of the poll.
NOW LISTEN UP FOLKS. THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING ABOUT THIS: The poll will be run the same as normal, up to three votes per year. Except this time, we're doing three years: 1922, 1921, 1920. After four or five days, I'll close it up and try to post one final results post before we lose the boards. That should be all. It's been an honor. *Flourishes hat and bows before running behind curtain to cry*
