TRAILER WINNERS
Congratulations to everyone who entered and to Kenmy Smith who wins the DVD package from Vendetta. It'll be on its way to you.
Runner Ups all get their tickets refunded if they attended.
GRAND CHAMP
Kenny Smith
Kenny's trailer just starts off so damn good with the old school FLY meeting the new school FLY, and doing an 80s machismo hand grasp. Fuck man, that's a really smart way to encapsulate the marathon's ethos to a T. It also helps to round it out with good sound effects and a WFT finish. Good work Kenny, enjoy the dvds.RUNNER UPS

GHETTOCALYPSE NOW
Could this be this years soul crushin' cousin to BREAKDANCE? We can make it happen.

Holy Grail of Trash Found!
One of the Incredibly Strange Holy Grails has been found and will screen. This was a film that must have only screened in a few cinemas. It's quite likely this print was used for the transfer to home video. A gorgeous 35mm print with perfect colour. Oh lordy, look out.

ULTIMATE MARATHONS
To celebrate our 10th year, we're asking fellow movie maniacs to submit '13' films they'd like to see in their ultimate movie marathon. We told them to think about the Opener, the closer and of course the breakfast movies. We'll post them all in the IDEAS section. Then you can create marathons based on people you dig as well as your own.
Check out our buddy Lars from Austin and then go to the IDEAS to see the rest.
