About This Title
In a four-way showdown (thanks to one tie during preliminary voting), Losey's The Servant emerged triumphant, garnering 32% vs. Congo (27%), Phase IV (24%), and The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash (17%). As noted yesterday, I saw it at the Walter Reade in 2001 (in what I'd just assumed was a Losey retro, as I also saw The Go-Between a few days later; turns out it was actually a Pinter retro) and immediately added it to my 1963 top 10 list at #3, where it still resides a quarter-century later (though The Great Escape has been replaced above it by High and Low). Can it hang on? We'll soon find out.
Random draw's a week late this month due to TIFF, but I'm totally caught up right now (apart from these new items, obviously) so should have no trouble remaining so when October 15th(-ish) rolls around. Sylvia Scarlett was an active request in its 16th week, while Hamlet had quite recently been withdrawn/replaced after racking up 42 weeks—a gamble(?) that quickly paid off. I've not seen either; Sylvia can be digitally rented, while Hamlet can be found in decent quality on YouTube.
As ever, thanks to each of you for supporting my criticism habit. Picked up a bunch of newcomers during TIFF and I hope y'all will stick around—I've already got L.A. press screenings booked next week for a couple of films I couldn't fit into my fest schedule.
