What Texas movie do you want to see?
Vote to select final entry to be screened in Chronicle-MFAH series
For the past several months, the Houston Chronicle and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston have been co-presenting our Top Texas Films series, which was born from the Chronicle’s list of the Greatest Texas Films, released in June. The series is slated to end on Dec. 9, but we need your help in deciding what that final film screening will be.
Yes, we’re opening up the final slot to the fans, offering a chance for y’all to tell us which movie on the list you’ve been aching to see on a big screen. You can also think of it as referendum of sorts. This is, potentially, your opportunity to tell us which of these films was ranked too low by voting for it. Or if you want to celebrate one that we placed high, that’s cool, too.
But we need your votes to make this happen. So, please go to HoustonChronicle.com/ GreatestTexasMoviePoll and place your vote. And share the link with your friends. They don’t even have to want to see the film. We’re not all stodgy about those things. Just let us know what you want to see.
And, we also know that some of you hate Facebook. Which is why we’ll allow people to email their votes. Send them my way to robert.morast@chron.com, and we’ll add them to the final tally. But, please, don’t vote on Facebook and email us your selection.
With that, here’s the list of movies you can vote on. We’ve subtracted the movies that have already been screened in the series, and some films that have been in theaters recently or screened across Houston in the past few months. And don’t forget about our next screening in the series, “Paris, Texas,” starring Harry Dean Stanton, which will play the MFAH at 7 p.m. Nov. 30. “Hell or High Water” “The Last Picture Show” “Bernie” “Boyhood” “Friday Night Lights” “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada” “No Country for Old Men” “The Searchers” “Urban Cowboy” “Bonnie and Clyde” “Tender Mercies” “Places in the Heart” “Blood Simple” “Red River” “Lone Star” “North Dallas Forty” “Hope Floats” “Terms of Endearment” “Alamo Bay” “Jason’s Lyric” “The Apostle” “The Wild Bunch” “Hud” “Hellfighters” “Dallas Buyer’s Club”
