In its first year, The A.V. Club Film Poll surpassed even my lofty expectations, so we're back for another round this year. Readers polls generally single out the year's most popular film, but based on last year's runaway winner, A History Of Violence, I'm guessing that Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest will not be the odds-on favorite. Of course, what made the poll really stand out were your insightful and witty comments about what the year had to offer, so I'll be looking for more of the same this year. You're welcome to comment on whatever you'd like—not just your favorite movies, but the performances and trends and moviegoing experiences that stood out for you in 2006. And if you're just wanting a say in the final tally, you can just send me your Top Five and get on with your day.

Here are the rules:

1. Come up with a Top Five list in preferential order and submit it to [email protected].

2. For simplicity’s sake, each submission will be allotted points on the following scale: 5 for #1, 4 for #2, etc.

3. Though it’s not required, you’re encouraged to include your thoughts on individual entries or the year in general. The most interesting comments will be included with proper attribution when the results are posted. We’d prefer actual names and locations, but if you’d like to use an alias, that would be okay, too.

4. Deadline for submissions is Friday, February 2nd, which should give you enough time to catch up with Oscar hopefuls and hopelesses like Children Of Men, Letters From Iwo Jima, Dreamgirls, et al.

Okay, so get out to the multiplex, tear through that Netflix queue, and give us your best.
