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

I might vote for some animation if we get 100 places on our ballots

Here's what I'm leaning toward. Either 10 or 25 ranked or unranked top-tier picks that would be weighted much more heavily, and then 40 to 75 unranked extra picks to round it to 50 or 100. I want people to make tough choices a la Sight & Sound, but I also don't want endless ties left and right.

aww was I excited to just see people's 10-item ballots

make people make hard choices darn it

How about 10 top-tier choices and then up to 90 other nowhere-near-as-many-points choices?

Either way, Duck Amuck is in my Top 10.

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
