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?
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 24 June 2020 13:16 (three years ago) link
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!
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 24 June 2020 17:50 (three years ago) link
So exactly 300 movies have been mentioned in this thread so far: https://pastebin.com/LwvpYQ1A
― Juanita was robbed (Eric H.), Wednesday, 24 June 2020 19:31 (three years ago) link
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
― Dan S, Thursday, 25 June 2020 01:29 (three years ago) link
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.
― Juanita was robbed (Eric H.), Thursday, 25 June 2020 13:02 (three years ago) link
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
― Dan S, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 02:15 (three years ago) link
If it's favourite films, would you need nominations? Everything ever is eligible.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 03:56 (three years ago) link
"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
― (The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Tuesday, 11 August 2020 21:02 (three years ago) link
I wonder how Leni Riefenstahl's technically accomplished porn movies would be assessed today she'd gone in that direction.
― Alba, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 02:13 (three years ago) link
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).

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.
― clemenza, Friday, 14 August 2020 01:52 (three years ago) link
if there is any 'television series' included I hope it will be Twin Peaks: The Return
― Dan S, Friday, 14 August 2020 01:55 (three years ago) link
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.

sticking with Dekalog, you apostates

Dekalog was pretty great
― Dan S, Friday, 14 August 2020 02:36 (three years ago) link
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
― Dan S, Friday, 14 August 2020 03:05 (three years ago) link
Added all three.

Found this weird and interesting: a guy who voted in the '72/'82/'92 polls asking for an invite to vote in 2022.

Movies in which Jean Arthur is oppressed/depressed/repressed.

haven't seen Shane but I really like westerns from the 1948-1960 era
― Dan S, Monday, 31 May 2021 00:50 (two years ago) link
Leone's films were a few years after that but were all pretty great
― Dan S, Monday, 31 May 2021 01:07 (two years ago) link
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

― koogs, Monday, 31 May 2021 03:05 (two years ago) link
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.

― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 31 May 2021 14:20 (two years ago) link
I want to be on this guy's side, but I also think that the main point of doing these polls every 10 years is to track how tastes change with time. And he's really not selling that.
― i carry the torch for disco inauthenticity (Eric H.), Monday, 31 May 2021 14:25 (two years ago) link
Yeah I wasn’t trying to be mean, I think his perspective is potentially interesting & would like those reminiscences without the note of sadsack self pity; it’s especially rich because he’s basically like “I guess there’s just no room on this ol’ rock anymore for a guy who votes for vertigo and citizen kane in decadal polls” and come on
― Pfizer the pharma chip (wins), Monday, 31 May 2021 14:36 (two years ago) link
I hope they let him vote so he can immediately disappear among all the indistinguishable ballots. You can do it Tony!

My final film for the 2022 Sight & Sound top ten is Philadelphia. A movie that opens with music by Springsteen and closes with music by Neil Young is a keeper.
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 31 May 2021 14:53 (two years ago) link
He's 84 so the only film that predates him on his list is The General. I have to admit, on my own list, I probably have at least as many films older than me than not, so I can't point fingers about being out of touch with film culture.
