Well, I plan on listing all 500+ films that were voted on. It wouldn't be hard to list the top 50 separately either though.

EDIT:
I think I'll wind up putting it in the OP in a spoiler tag once the whole list is revealed. I really oughta go back on the other polls I've done and do the same (and the fantasy one needs all its images replaced ).
