Pretend you have a ballot for the 2022 edition of Sight & Sound's top 10 movies of all time list

I mean u do what u want Eric by all means but lists of 10 movies are much more interesting than lists of 100 movies imho

a long voting period + the ballots of lurkers would probably generate some interesting aggregate results, and 10 is a lower commitment level than "up to 100" that's for sure

this is the way the world ends, eh

but u do u

what better way to end it

than a contentious ilx ballot poll

The world ended a long time ago, Morbs.

Absolutely not voting for animation lol.

By this thread's mentions alone, Duck Amuck has anywhere from 3 to 7 votes.

xp out of 10 or out of 100?

Out of 10, definitely nothing.

Can't think of anything out of 100 right now. I'd need 3-6 months of watching and reading to understand anime just so I could properly place anything in a list of 100.

submitting a ballot of 9 animated films and Airplane!

So exactly 300 movies have been mentioned in this thread so far: https://pastebin.com/LwvpYQ1A

two tiers with top 10 weighted more heavily sounds like a good idea to me. I don’t know if I could choose just 10 films

the 2012 lists and mentions also include a lot of classic films that don’t overlap here

Pretend you have a ballot for the 2012 edition of Sight & Sound's top 10 movies of all time list

Good point, I can trawl that thread for "nominations" before unveiling the campaigning/nomination thread that really means nothing because people can vote for whatever movies they want, as always.

Now that I've got Janet behind me, turning back to this. I count 570 titles mentioned so far... https://pastebin.com/LwvpYQ1A

I'll fire up an actual campaigning/nomination thread sometime in the next few weeks.

I'm remembering some magazine cover, and I think it's better to have Janet in front of you.

Sorry, world.

this will be a massive poll, hope we will take our time and will get everybody involved

If it's favourite films, would you need nominations? Everything ever is eligible.

"Nominations" are mostly a courtesy, in any ILX poll, and people are free to vote for what they want. And while I have reservations over voting for, say, a TV series in its entirety, I also admit I have no problem with that 2002 S&S voter's citation of the British Airways commercial, so.

On a related note, Joel D's defense of his immortal 2002 list has somehow slipped by me until now: https://amauteurish.com/2014/05/30/sight-sound-2002/

(Takeaway headline, S&S apparently came close to rejecting that ballot, until he swapped out his Michael Snow selection for a third porn title.)

putting a riefenstahl film in your top 10 is more indefensible than voting for three porn films imo

I wonder how Leni Riefenstahl's technically accomplished porn movies would be assessed today she'd gone in that direction.

That Joel David blog post links to our previous S&S thread as an example of the discussion that his list generated at the time, though oddly I only see like two mentions of it in the thread (both by Eric).

You're welcome.

Whether it gets counted or not--the final list in any poll always interests me, but is never important to me (why would it be, to me or anyone else?)--I'll definitely vote for one television series.

if there is any 'television series' included I hope it will be Twin Peaks: The Return

That did get theatrical screenings, so people who normally wouldn't go near TV will be okay for voting for it. Mine is a straight-up TV show.

I validate Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.

sticking with Dekalog, you apostates

Dekalog was pretty great

2001: A Space Odyssey, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Taxi Driver, Close-Up, Sátántangó, In the Mood for Love, Mulholland Drive, Uncle Boonmee, Twin Peaks: The Return, Zama

films I will love forever

I don't see Zama or Twin Peaks: The Return on the pastebin list, they should be included. Or Burning, such an incredible film

Added all three.

It's time: It's the ILX All-Time Milm and Foovies Poll! -- Nominations Thread

Found this weird and interesting: a guy who voted in the '72/'82/'92 polls asking for an invite to vote in 2022.

Fucking Shane.

Movies in which Jean Arthur is oppressed/depressed/repressed.

haven't seen Shane but I really like westerns from the 1948-1960 era

Leone's films were a few years after that but were all pretty great

I like Shane, don't love it, consider it part of film history--it's almost simultaneously a revisionist western itself and the context against which revisionist westerns from The Searchers to the later ones in the '60s and '70s make sense--and it doesn't seem to be particularly out of place on that list. (Philadelphia strikes me as the anomaly.)

> In 2022 there's a new world

and then doesn't list anything that's not ~30 years old

I appreciate him giving us his rationale for adding and subtracting films from previous lists, but that is very much the list of a man who once made a list in 1972.

Lol, exactly

Also, merry Sicilian.

This reads like this guy got divorced by cinema and now cinema won’t let him see the kids

omg

Savage.

lol of course he has to weigh in on fucking Birth of a Nation even though he isn't voting for it.

I want to be on this guy's side, but I also think that the main point of doing these polls every 10 years is to track how tastes change with time. And he's really not selling that.
