Docks of New York is not only my favorite Sternberg films, but one of my favorite American films (of any era). But it looks like it is being edged out not only by Last Command but also Safety Last. :-(

(The lasts shall be first ... I guess).

It's an Indicator vote!

To help inaugurate our new subforum dedicated to Indicator, as well as celebrate their releases, here are five Indicator titles to vote from.

Decision at Sundown isn't even out yet, seems like it shouldn't be one of the choices

I voted for Deadly Affair, because I think Housekeeping already got plenty of discussion here upon its release, and it’s been sitting quietly on my shelf since August, the two slightly interminable Jack Gold films on either side of it getting my attention sooner.

I voted for Deadly Affair too, though I didn't like it, since I watched my old unseen Sony UK DVD a few months ago to see if I wanted to pick up the Indicator and I was glad I did because nope! But it's fresh enough in my mind to discuss, which is rarely the case with these winning titles

I thought this round would be happening later...anyway, I've replaced Decision at Sundown with another randomly generated title: 10 Rillington Place.

I’m not sure, but I think changing the poll resets the vote and everyone who cast their vote will have to redo it.

I'm changing my vote to Rillington because I would love to hear about the significant output Indicator has done for Fleischer and hear more about his general standing.

I voted for Les Miz because I own it, haven't seen it, and will watch it and write about it if it wins. So, of course some other movie everyone likes and has nothing to say about will win the poll
