Last year, TIFF edged toward maybe considering reviving its terminated Masters program(me), not by putting the section back but by adding a sort of subcategory to a few of its films in other sections. Seven films were labeled Luminaries, which strikes me as a fine new name for the old section, one that avoids any untoward associations.

Masters / Luminaries was always my favo(u)rite section at TIFF, because I like old filmmakers and lack imagination. But this made me think: how many films from those sections have I not yet seen? A lot, it turns out, and since I am looking for some additional direction where watching older films is concerned, I thought I'd prepare this poll.

Please select THREE films you would like me to see and write about.
