Lists. Masters of Cinema.

The results of Masters of Cinema's poll of readers have led to a sort of list of this year's must-haves, at least for cinephiles of slightly more than modest means. Votes for releases from Artificial Eye, Second Run, BFI and - though MoC'd been saying all along they'd be disqualified - MoC itself "have eaten into Criterion's traditional large share of the vote, however, Criterion's largest set of the year has still topped everything else, and what an achievement it was." That would be the robust package of Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales.

But not necessarily by a long shot. Percentages of votes run fairly close all the way down through the remaining 13 titles on MoC list: DVD of the Year Award 2006.
