I got several (quite a few actually) nominations for the list so here
is this week's list.  The movies are ordered by the the number of
nominations they got, or by the order they received that many
nominations.  I still have two lists because I wasn't sure what to do
with the second.  (Note that some movies appear on both lists; maybe I'll
merge the two lists eventually, or something like that.)

If I lost someone's nominations, send it again, or post it to this
newsgroup (otherwise, I am relying on people posting their nominations
only once).  If there is enough interest, I will update this list, and
post it once in a while.  Any suggestions are welcome.
