I will instead vote for a TV show from '72 that premiered in US theaters in 2018. Expand your horizons.
Restored version of Eight Hours.. first screened in the UK in April 2017.

I cannot vote for The Image Book as it is a 2019 US release.

I missed Monrovia when it played here... I wish there was a way to see Wiseman movies other than buying the DVDs from Zipporah. It'd be one thing if he had like 10 movies but how many are there... 40?
I'm voting for The Image Book even though I saw it in 2019 and I'm also voting for Let the Sunshine In even though I voted for it in the last poll. thanks for the Fassbinder reminder Morbs, I could only come up with 9 films last night, I will include that one (screened here last summer but I didn't see it until a couple weeks ago).
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 29 May 2019 16:25 (four years ago) link
all of the Wiseman films up through Ex Libris (not Monrovia) are on Kanopy, flappy bird

oooh awesome thanks for the heads up!
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 29 May 2019 16:34 (four years ago) link
If we're campaigning, I hope people find space for:
24 Frames (Abbas Kiarostami)Hale County This Morning, This Evening (RaMell Ross)Support the Girls (Andrew Bujalski)The Green Fog (Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, Galen Johnson)Did You Wonder Who Fired The Gun? (Travis Wilkerson)
― zama roma ding dong (Eric H.), Wednesday, 29 May 2019 16:41 (four years ago) link
I watched Did You Wonder Who Fired The Gun? at home on Monday. I like it, but think it's a little overaestheticized (makes sense that it was initially done as a live multimedia event).
24 Frames I was rather disappointed in. That's an installation.
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 29 May 2019 16:46 (four years ago) link
Support the Girls is on my list of things to watch before voting.
I would point people towards Private Life, Happy as Lazzaro, Upgrade and 1985 (hi, Alfred!).
― Herman Woke (cryptosicko), Wednesday, 29 May 2019 16:48 (four years ago) link
24 Frames hit me, as almost all Kiarostamis do, right in the root of my spinal cord. They're ASMR in movie form.
― zama roma ding dong (Eric H.), Wednesday, 29 May 2019 16:52 (four years ago) link
(And a great deal more than that, obviously, but this one allowed me the chance to put that aspect to the forefront.)
yes 24 Frames is my #3. seeing it in a huge theater definitely helped, not sure how it would go over at home, I could barely stick with Shirin.
I don't understand the praise for Support the Girls at all. Didn't dislike it but such a wispy nothing of a movie.

TALLYING COMPLETE
I think I caught everything misspelled or missing half the title, but if not, it's on the voter.
Several films I was looking forward to finding images for have fallen outside the top 50.
If we were extending out to everything that needed two votes to qualify (ie 36 points), the lowest rank would be 72. The very lowest double-vote-receiver ranked at 88, with 14 points. The lowest triple-vote-receiver is at 83, with 33 points.
