Once again it's time for the forum's favourite films (includes shorts, docs as well) list.
No one is supposed to replace PA's hosting and not expect some trouble generating result Thread.
Only one mistake this time ... let's hope there are not too much others ... Had to repair by hand on an excel with 50 000 lines and way too much collums
Let's get to it, First 1001 as usual, then 1001-2001.

Unfortunately, the voters appear in one single line instead of a list in columns. I think I remember PA having the same problem one time. Sounds like a minor error, but I keep looking at the voters a lot .. maybe there's a way to fix it?
