I'm not sure I can keep biting my tongue about the 2-ton elephant in the room that has not yet submitted a ballot (and, from all I gather, will not).

How have I never known of the existence of "Miracle Mile" before this minute? Looks really fun.

fuuuuuuuuu i woulda totally voted for angst

ha, I did vote for angst. I think it was my one and only non-nommed vote, not sure how it slipped by.
it's at least 15 years ahead of its time in style and technique. wish the director would let the original cut be screened but he's gone all lucas on us.

OK, I am now sitting at 49 ballots. I know I said I would close the polls about one half-hour from now, but I know there's got to be at least one more ballot sitting out there somewhere, right?

I think you should hold out for the magic number, Eric. To have accumulated one short of your stated goal & have to stop at that point.. you'd think morbs could at least eke out a quick top-20, right?

If anyone wants an extension beyond, oh, say the next couple hours, they need to state it explicitly in this thread.

I was originally aiming to rollout starting next Monday, but I think I'll need an extra day or two to gather some quotes. Haven't even started that yet.

I would very much like Morbs to get in a ballot, as I'm hoping he might bump up some of the older stuff (not an age joke). Although I'd like oddities to make it in, and I don't really give a shit about established canon, I'll definitely be annoyed if there's barely anything pre-50s...
― emil.y, Wednesday, 9 May 2012 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
Just sent mine. I hope I listed them correctly-- 50. is my favorite, 49. is my second favorite, 1. is my least fave out of these 50, etc.

It's crazy how many of my all-time favorite movies on the list I had to disallow for not being horror by my compass.

Ha yeah. My top three aren't just my favorite horror movies; they're my favorite movies.
I think I forgot Night of the Hunter! After all that talk. Sheesh.

^^^^ otm!!!! i hadn't realized that before i made this list, but yes. life is horrifying, people are terrible, and horror movies are the best.

agree w/ all this. tho there are over 10 canon films from the 60s/70s I dropped from my ballot to make room for other stuff, my breakdown by decade still looks like:
20s - 230s - 240s - 150s - 360s - 770s - 1880s - 890s - 500s - 4
apparently 1973 was the most horrifying year on record, and, with one off-the-wall exception, all my post 80s picks ended up being non-US.

kino's blu-ray of ganja and hess came out yesterday. one of my last ballot cuts.
― diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Wednesday, 9 May 2012 19:23 (twelve years ago) link
Burton's Dark Shadows is set in 1972, which explains why it's not horrifying I guess.
