To start then, here are the single vote films that were included in a top ten.
One #10 vote
Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman (jmmrsn)
Mad Love (TerryKath'sBrain)

Kind of surprised these 2 movies were rated so low. On second thought Robin Hood doesn't surprise me but Dracula does a bit. I assume more people voted for Nosferatu and some for the Spanish version.

Read all of my stupid song parodies here. Latest song improved/ruined: "Once Again" by Girl Talk.
Listen to my stupid song parodies, recorded a capella via cell phone, at vocalo.org .(search 'agrimorfee')
Read the slowly developing history of classic putative rock band The Anderson Council at my cheap, bland blog
Might as well throw my Last.fm page here, too.
