Note: Films marked with an asterisk [*] received at least one vote in last year's poll, or with list-makers two years ago (as in the case of Silent Light). Combining last year's results with this year's, Summer Hours' tally increases to 147 points, The Headless Woman's to 139, Tokyo Sonata's to 97.5 and You, the Living's to 50. Last year's top vote-getter was A Christmas Tale with 126 points.
Scoring: Each citation receives ten points with an additional ten for a first place citation, nine for second, and so on, on down to one for tenth. This method of scoring is intended (per Paul Martin's very astute insights in the comments section) to give appropriate weight to those films included on the most lists.
