Lots more nominations this week.  One note: if you nominate a movie
such as "all Marx Brothers movies" or "... and all sequels to", than the
nominations may not appear on this list.  I try my best to remember
titles, but it is especially hard when I haven't seen the movies, so
nominate movies by title.  (ordering as before; still two lists)

If I lost someone's nominations, send it again, or post it to this
newsgroup.  If there is enough interest, I will update this list, and
post it once in a while.  Suggestions on other format of the list or
anything else are welcome.  If someone notices multiple entries within
each list for the same movie, let me know.
