Today's poll at IMDb is about best romantic gestures in movies.  Ennis 'finding and keeping' the shirts from their first summer together is currently in 2nd place.  John Cusack/Say Anything is first, which could conceivably be arguable if Brokeback Mountain, you know, didn't exist!

Interestingly, another Ang Lee film made the list - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

ok! I voted for them shirts! so far the shirts are a close second, but they'll pull ahead by the final tally, or its fraud at the polls and I demand a recount.

I completely agree, brokeplex!

I believe I will split these posts off into their own topic so as not to interfere with discussion of The Shirts emotional significance.

Voted, but we seem to be behind by about 1000 votes. I don't care those who voted other than the shirts are presumably early onset Alzheimers.

I voted earlier and posted the topic on IMDb. But I am not sure what the final results were.

Ok, we all know ours should have won. But taking in account that most people in the world are not Brokies (*gasp*), I'm proud BBM got second. It shows once more what an impact Brokeback Mountain has.
