Students' Favorite Movies, Spring 2012

A couple of weeks ago, I asked 318I students to write down three of their favorite movies on the back of that week's quiz.  Some wrote down three, some more, some less.  I was surprised that there was so little overlap of choices.  There were a total of 160 votes, and 132 different movies were chosen.  Here they are:
