Seconded! If you're not aware, there's a 25 issue comic series that continues on right after the movie that's fun to read.

I'm torn on The Rock remake - hoping he really gets the humor of it, and undercuts the hero image if he's playing Jack. Given his Jumanji avatar character, he should be open to that. Won't replace the original in my heart, though.

Working to add the backlog of nominations to the Pastebin list, apologies for the delay.

There's no limit to the number of movies people can nominate, but would appreciate people nominating only movies they plan to vote for.

So, I guess, kind of an unofficial max cap of 100.

Get the point? Good, let's dance with nunchaku. (Eric H.), Sunday, 27 September 2020 18:58 (three years ago) link

Well, that depends on the movies that are nominated.

See, what would do is make a shortlist of my fav movies from the entire list, rate them out of 100, then vote for the top (howevermany)

So, it's quite possible that some of my nominated movies may not get a vote from me.

So, after spending time examining not just the list of movies Morbs gave five stars to on Letterboxed, but also his responses to the prior two "pretend you have a Sight & Sound ballot" threads, I've come up with a pretty good snapshot of what a Morbs ballot would have looked like. :(

I present these Morbs "nominations" here as a tribute, but also open it up to anyone who notices that I've missed one of his pet faves to redress the omission. (It's missing Fritz Lang and Akira Kurosawa and Robert Aldrich, who showed up in the top half of his directors ballot, so if anyone remembers him saying he had a favorite from any of those three, lemme know.)

On average, this critic grades 8.3 points lower than other critics (Eric H.), Thursday, 29 October 2020 19:16 (three years ago) link

three weeks pass...

I have an ongoing list that hobbles forward--I add another film every week or two. I'm up to 26. With so many possible additions I think "I put that on a list of favourite films 30 years ago (or 20, or 5), but would I really want to watch it tonight?" I've killed almost everything.

clemenza, Monday, 23 November 2020 02:09 (three years ago) link

December bump! Will update the list again as I can, but sometime in the next few days I'll be opening up the voting/campaigning thread.

The balloting period will be longer than your usual movie poll, definitely into the Biden presidency.

On average, this critic grades 8.3 points lower than other critics (Eric H.), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 16:00 (three years ago) link

Because I'm now subconsciously modeling this poll after my Morbs ballot, I've decided everyone gets 25 ranked-or-unranked "top tier" selections (which isn't the brutally succinct 10, but certainly not as many as most movie nerds would like), and then up to 100 extra slots with a significantly lower number of points assigned.

On average, this critic grades 8.3 points lower than other critics (Eric H.), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 16:03 (three years ago) link

The Grandmother (Lynch, David) 1970
In the Mouth of Madness (Carpenter, John) 1994

Rachel Getting Married (Demme, Jonathan) 2008

I'll go over the list and see if anything I'm voting for isn't already included. Excited to vote--I already have a rough ballot together.

flappy bird, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 00:05 (three years ago) link

Please add the following to the list:

Almanac of Fall (Tarr Bela) 1985
Anticipation of the Night (Brakhage, Stan) 1958

Scarlet Street Fritz Lang 1945

Sin of Nora Moran, The Phil Goldstone 1933

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Wednesday, 2 December 2020 01:51 (three years ago) link

reiterating what I said the other day on the Lang thread that Edward G. Robinson going monkeymode on Joan Bennett with the icepick in Scarlett Street is definitely the most brutal and violent thing I've seen in any Classic Hollywood movie

1,806 films now listed. (Or a few less, given the likelihood of doubles.)

On average, this critic grades 8.3 points lower than other critics (Eric H.), Monday, 7 December 2020 18:30 (three years ago) link

Seeing a number of doubles, actually, but the fact that so many of them are Morbs favorites reinforces their candidacy so I'll leave them be.
