The title should perhaps be Favorite Buddhist Film. I guess you won't lose the link as long as you don't edit the intro.

Some of these seem like a stretch

Maybe you could add a short explanation of the Buddhist message for each film.

I'm afraid I haven't watched any of them. I can lead them to the site more noticeably...

Perhaps you could take quotes from the article, there each person says why they consider each film to be buddhist so it could help.

ok, I took some paragraph excerpts from the site. Unfortunately, I can't change the intro text lest losing the link to the source site, due to IMDb new design rules.

Hmm, 'interesting list. I would have never thought of 'Double Indemnity' as having any Buddhist lesson but it certainly does illustrate the fallacies of attachment to material things. I really like this poll: 'good idea and an interesting concept. FYC: "Favorite Buddhist Movies" is not exactly accurate. A movie can't be Buddhist and most of these probably weren't even made by people who practice Buddhism. 'Perhaps "Movies With Buddhist Messages" or "Movies With Buddhist Lessons"?

Look what I just found, a very rare face-off poll consisting of just ONE option ;) https://www.imdb.com/poll/69NWD6qQYh4/ Face-Off : The Matrix Vs. The Grid babuandbabu

There were two options. Sadly, this is what happens to a poll when an image is missing. The Matrix image is gone, so the option disappeared as well. If you look at the results you can see that the Tron option is listed as number 2, which means there was a number 1. The Staff is aware of this problem and will hopefully fix it. This means that there may also be polls with zero options, if all the images have been removed.

That doensn't make sense. It looks silly. I know in earlier times there was the option to re-pick an image for the list, the option didn't expire. Most of my re-pushes consisted of vanished images - which indeed is a no-go in itself. But now the option vanishes completely! Verschlimmbessert! :(

indeed, the image would be deleted by IMDb but the empty slot would stay.

... in the old website-version, yes.
