OK LAds, Votes are closed, and I'll be releasing the Fab 50 over the next week and a half before I finish up Great response, with 196 films receiving votes from 66 respondents.

To reiterate the ranking system:
Nominated Films receive points based on where you have ranked them. #1 receives 5 points, #2 receives 4 points, #3 receives 3 points, #4 receives 2 points and #5 receives a single point.

Films will be ranked on the basis of total points accrued.

In the event of a tie in total points, the following tiebreaker is used.

1 - Total votes received. (A film that receives 10 5th place votes will beat a film with 2 1st place votes on the basis of overall popularity)
2 - If total votes received are tied, then the film with most #1 votes will win the tiebreaker.
3 - This process will continue through the #2, #3, #4 and #5 votes.
4 - If two or more films receive exactly the same total points, same number of votes, and same distribution of votes, then they will be declared tied.

In the event if a tie I get the casting vote
