I'm going to self-indulgently predict the rankings for my top 10 here1. #852. DNP3. DNP4. DNP5. DNP6. #987. #178. DNP9. #5510. #26

That would balance out all the #1 votes for Mank.

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?

Its a mix: There has got to be one from France, Japan, Iran then I go to continents. I'll get an extra Euro, one from East Asia and China/India, one from Latin America, one from Africa. There isn't one that's good enough from Oceania.
US will get one but its the 'joker in the pack' (proper good but people might wince at it), one doc, one experimental film. No silents because I've not seen enough.
That's 11.
Shit gender balance rn.

The optimal prerequisite for being in a position to actually vote for it.

'fav vs best' has never been an issue for me bc the movies that i like are objectively the best

Still accepting ballots fwiw!

Still have some fantasy I am going to participate in this. Inspired by your personal rollout on social media.
― Working in the POLL Mine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 14 May 2021 03:27 (three years ago) link
I'm not going to vote, but very much looking forward to the roll out.

it's your personal favourites, don't stress over it too much.
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 14 May 2021 12:02 (three years ago) link
Wouldn’t describe it as stress, exactly

More like a fugue/rupture in which I couldn't actually recall what my favorites were anymore.

Which I finally emerged from a few days ago.
― Working in the POLL Mine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 14 May 2021 13:28 (three years ago) link
ill vote next week if this is still open
― johnny crunch, Friday, 14 May 2021 13:33 (three years ago) link
Sent. The ranked part, at least.
― Working in the POLL Mine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 14 May 2021 13:45 (three years ago) link
Unbelievable the kind of stuff I had to leave out to get it down to 25.
― Working in the POLL Mine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 14 May 2021 21:37 (three years ago) link
Don't forget you can list up to 100 runners-up (all equal weight).
― i carry the torch for disco inauthenticity (Eric H.), Friday, 14 May 2021 21:46 (three years ago) link
I didn't forget, but thanks for the reminder. Just didn't want to let that distract me from getting the top 25 in. Which I still want to tinker with, but won't :)
― Working in the POLL Mine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 14 May 2021 21:49 (three years ago) link
i've never put a film list together and i don't know very much, but i'll send a ballot! somebody's gotta represent the doofus vote
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 21:54 (three years ago) link
also, RE: "no, I don't know why pastebin flagged the list as NSFW", is it because of Warhol's Blow Job?
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 21:55 (three years ago) link
I had a pastebin list of songs flagged as NSFW and it turned out it was due to the presence of "You're a Queer One" from the Carousel soundtrack.
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 14 May 2021 22:03 (three years ago) link
Almost got to my hundred unranked.

ballot submitted! so weird (but fun) to compare the virtues of Stalker vs Jurassic Park

I have seen some jurassic park fan theories which go some way to bridging this gap

a couple of things i would have voted for weren't nominated, but that's my fault!
house (Nobuhiko Ôbayashi, 1977)downfall (Oliver Hirschbiegel, 2004)
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:15 (three years ago) link
House is there as Hausu, it'll be in my unranked 100
― ignore the blue line (or something), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:19 (three years ago) link
oh shit! thank you! I will send an update to Eric and hope that it can count. I saw it for the first time recently and was blown away
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:23 (three years ago) link
you can also vote for stuff that wasn't nominated
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:24 (three years ago) link
and I don't know if it's inappropriate or unethical, but an illegal late voting-period shoutout to Hausu/House (1977), which is so cool
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:27 (three years ago) link
I did email Eric to add Hausu/House, but not Downfall. tbh i'm in the middle of watching it today and i've got "i'm currently watching this and loving it" goggles on
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:28 (three years ago) link
I just finished Ian Kershaw's Hitler biography and it (unsurprisingly) has all the scenes from Downfall in the penultimate chapter.
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:32 (three years ago) link
do you know if the movie is supposed to be historically accurate? or does it take artistic liberties?
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:36 (three years ago) link
I am thrilled this is still open! I thought I missed it months ago and was too scared to look. Will submit my ballot by the end of the weekend I hope.
― tangent x (tangenttangent), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:49 (three years ago) link
how many ballots are there so far? if that info is declassified that is
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:50 (three years ago) link
I have to double check but I think it's in the 20-25 range.
― i carry the torch for disco inauthenticity (Eric H.), Saturday, 15 May 2021 00:11 (three years ago) link
Assuming you received my top 25.
― Working in the POLL Mine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 15 May 2021 00:39 (three years ago) link
I did.
