I'll start taking ballots in a week. But you still have until the 15th for a final deadline.

Oooh pressure's on! I've got a week off first week in June, so plan to cram in as many 70s horrors as possible before I do my final 100 list...

Good luck!

I think my list is pretty much set now, but I will wait until the final week to post it in case I change my mind (again!)

Alright everybody, I am now accepting your ballots. You can either post it in this thread or PM it to me. If you have already posted your list in the thread, please C/P it after this post. It's easier on me that way, so I don't have to search for it. Thanks everybody who is participating.

Nice list plato, although you must be one of the few who rate Die Screaming Marianne so highly. There's also a few titles on there that I haven't seen, which is always good: more to add to the watch-list! Death Laid an Egg is from 1968, though
