Random poll selection: April 2019 (Patreon)

Once per month, usually around the 15th (I'm letting Criterion's monthly announcement of forthcoming titles serve as my reminder), I randomly select a film to watch and review, chosen from those suggestions that haven't yet won the weekly poll (and have been an option at least four times). The idea here is to ensure that less popular movies aren't a completely lost cause.

This time, random.org's spinning wheel stopped on The Hitcher, which apparently nearly won the first drawing. (Can't be sure since I delete all entries for films that win and the others just shift up numerically.) Looks like it's only streaming on Cinemax, which I don't have; Archaic Netflix carries the DVD, though, so I'll probably just watch that (after 49 Up, currently en route). 

As always, my thanks to each and every one of you for making it possible for me to write about these older films. I simply wouldn't have the time to do so without your support, and am continually grateful for the opportunity. And to those of you making the suggestions: Keep up the good work. I'm maintaining a complete list, and it's really quite impressive.
