ILX All-Time Film and Morbsies Poll: Voting And Campaigning Thread (Ballots Due Like I Dunno Maybe March 1, 2021?)

I am James E.

Tomorrow?

damn abanana gets to vote twice?

I like abanana, because he ain't got POLLS

Tomorrow?

BIG MONEY RUSTLAS

for some reason i thought this was a poll about super old movies – but now that i see it includes movies I've seen, i'll throw a ballot in there this evening.

is there a deadline?

Maybe sometime in April.

Uh-oh. I sent mine in February. I'll send it again.

Do I need to look at the pastebin link, which is doing the private thing and blocking me?

Or is the list of nominees on the thread, say from Jan 4th?

think that's pretty much the list

why are you asking

makes it easier for me that films beyond the top 25 are unranked

just hard to decide what to include in the top 25

Yeah it stings to cut it down to say 40 and then 25, and let the spare 15 sink down into the rest.

Eric, did you get my ballot this time? I sent it on March 6.

i voted. i voted.

sent my list in

Voting now

I did, Cherish!

Sorry, I've been out of pocket these last few days, but I'll work on getting all of those ballots added and the master list updated.

may I still send one, hun?

Of course; I am seriously not closing this until April, at this rate.

can i resubmit if i see anything lifechanging before april

Absolutely. I welcome revisions.

hell yeah, i finally feel up to my long-planned morbs memorial watch of the searchers

I've been baptized, Reverend, I've been baptized!

sent my ballot just now. the searchers is up there in the rankings for me. it's been ages since i've seen it—would like to re-watch if/when that happens :)

What was morbs fave film?

The Waterboy iirc

Directed by Jerry Lewis, yeah

does it matter which one of the duplicates shows up on a ballot? sometimes vote counters on here are specific about that and just wonderin

When I enter them in, the master sheet is alphabetically organized, so if there's a double, I'll see it.

Almost all of the doubles mentioned upthread were Morbs ballot additions that I added at the last minute (minus Robot Monster), and most of them have been dealt with.

HI DERE. Awaking from my slumber.

Nice, Cesare

idgi

Redos, right? I forgot a necessary Spike Lee movie, among others.

Yup! Feel free to submit revisions.

Also, as a reminder to everyone, please indicate your ILX username with your submitted ballot.

Is it too late to submit something?

Not at all. This poll remains an open-ended prospect indefinitely, but it's feeling increasingly likely that I won't actually close it until the end of spring or thereabouts.

Got a day off tomorrow, will try and put a list, 10-12 should be my submission

So out curiosity, what criteria are people using in putting ballots together? There's the old "favorite" vs. "best" conundrum, but also are folks deliberately aiming for, say, diversity across decades, nationalities, etc, or just, like, listing every Judd Apatow movie?

I always list favourites, don't even think about what's important. I dropped a few old ones I've seen way too many times and replaced them with stuff I've come to love within the past five years.

Yeah. Worry about self-pleausure in every sense.

I tried to do a personal list, too. Hopefully this doesn't mean there is no consensus!

Another reason I'm waiting to collate (other than my work life just being insane lately) is so that we don't just have a series of 12-way ties, if at all possible. Only getting in excess of 25-30 ballots will hopefully ensure that won't happen.
