Did Morb-weighting swing it?

Alba, Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:42 (two years ago) link

That is exceptionally close...support for 2001 more passionate (fewer votes, more #1s).

clemenza, Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:42 (two years ago) link

Coincidentally also the top 2 in the 2022 Sight and Sound poll

ignore the blue line (or something), Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:43 (two years ago) link

2099.1 points, a tabulation odyssey.

Alba, Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:43 (two years ago) link

Did Morb-weighting swing it?

Not so far as #1 and #2 are concerned. Both got tier-one points from him.

Milm & Foovies (Eric H.), Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:43 (two years ago) link

Don't blame me, I voted for about 8 Bunuels lol

I've just made the sad discovery that I also longvoted for The Big Lebowski. So much for my pique about its placement, lol. (I mean...it is fun)

imago, Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:44 (two years ago) link

Thanks Eric! time to work out what I have on my watching list, not the top two for a start, think I had both in my bonus section.

edited to reflect developments which occurred (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:45 (two years ago) link

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2. Vertigo
3. Sherlock, Jr.
4. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
5. Citizen Kane
― Dr Morbius, Friday, July 13, 2007 9:29 AM

I was surprised to run across this long-ago-posted list from Morbs because I didn't actually realize he had any official top 5 designations anywhere.

Milm & Foovies (Eric H.), Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:45 (two years ago) link

I don't recall ever seeing 2001 in the #1 slot on an all-time poll. Even after 50+ years it still seems pretty ballsy.

Chris L, Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:45 (two years ago) link

I was not at all surprised that Late Spring was much more popular than Tokyo Story either.

Milm & Foovies (Eric H.), Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:45 (two years ago) link

Milm & Foovies (Eric H.), Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:47 (two years ago) link

I see I submitted my ballot in April, when I only longlisted Vertigo. If I’d waited another month, by which time I’d visited Mission San Juan Bautista, it might have made its way back into my 25 and it works have won. But I think this is a better result - would have been a shame to have the same winner as S&S.

Alba, Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:47 (two years ago) link

thanks so much for running the poll eric!

devvvine, Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:48 (two years ago) link

Thanks indeed, Eric - a monumental undertaking

imago, Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:48 (two years ago) link

Thank you, Eric! A huge task to be sure.

And it's official: I've seen 99 of the 100 movies.

Chris L, Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:49 (two years ago) link

this turned out to be a decent list. thanks.

93/100 and I'll watch The Green Ray soon, promise

adam t. (abanana), Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:51 (two years ago) link

Good list, full of emotional balls

It was 8 Buñuels and 4 Wellmans

Exploding Plastic Bertrand (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:53 (two years ago) link

Oh, I was wrong: I did place Vertigo!

Alba, Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:53 (two years ago) link

Still, it used to be my #2 so a bit of a fall.

a worthy 1 & 2, surprisingly good list overall. huge thanks to eric for running, a blast to follow along with this week.

Vertigo's gone down in my personal list recently since it's now obvious to me that Johnny is a creep from the start.

adam t. (abanana), Thursday, 4 November 2021 22:01 (two years ago) link

Stewart should have played an outright villain at some point (unless I'm forgetting something) a la Henry Fonda in Once Upon a Time in the West.

Chris, he played a villain in The Naked Spur. Those Anthony Mann westerns prepared audiences for Vertigo.

morbs v otm re politics of 2001, a lot of which is abt being ordered to tell lies

i seem to have forgotten to vote for it tho, or maybe just guessed it didn't need the help? did vote for the shining tho lol sry morbs

my (basic for sure) ballot had jurassic park at #3 next to chelovek s kinoapparatom and la regle du jeu so all the upthread dread that JP portended some kind of all-ghostbusters top 3 was a lil funny

Stewart should have played an outright villain at some point

theres a Thin Man movie where he ends up being revealed as the killer, and he has a great "yeah sure it was me alright, you'll never take me alive!"-type bit at the end, and its really fun & unnerving to see him enter full wild-eyed maniac villain mode

spoiler alert if anyone hasnt seen whatever Thin Man movie that is i guess. youve had 80 years tbf

Contempt Godard, Jean-Luc 1963
Crimes of the Future (Cronenberg, David) 1970
Devil, Probably, The Bresson, Robert 1977
Edvard Munch (Peter Watkins, 1974)
