My Personal Oscar Nominees (evolving)

In the spirit of ranking films as I've seen them, I also want to think about who I would nominate and vote for if asked.  As I see more films (I am trying to increase that number at a rapid pace), this will evolve until I'm ready to say these would be my final votes. I've seen everything I've listed below, and there are films I've seen but aren't mentioned here because I couldn't imagine ever voting for them if given the opportunity.  For now...
