ILX All-Time Film and Morbsies Poll: Voting And Campaigning Thread (Ballots Due Like I Dunno Maybe March 1, 2021?)

:-(

I would put in some sort of ballot if it can go until the weekend

yeah, I have one half-finished too, can we say Sunday?

Been working away on one for weeks, I didn't think a deadline had been set yet?

i just need to figure out the order of these 2000s woody allen films & ill have my ballot in

Mid-March deadline pls

Oh this is definitely still open. I am going to allow people whatever time they need to get a ballot together.

Wait a minute! How were these nominations created?!?

Can someone remind this noob of the procedure with these things? Can I vote for things that aren’t on the nomination list and if so do they automatically get added to the list when I do?

Yeah. The nominations phase is just to get people’s brains storming. Ballots can have anything on then

Riiiiiiight. But who the hell nominated Thanatopsis or Submit To Me Now or, er, Some Call It Loving??

all right i finished my ballot during lunch. contains a bunch of stuff not on the list and is formatted horribly, hope that's ok eric

morbs would hate everything about my list except for the prominent placement of a spielberg film and i think that's the right way to go into this. rip king

Glad this is back on.

he would also give me shit for not including any movies released before 1979 but i gotta do me

Eric if you do close this week and roll out next, we could get voting and rollout for the 2020 poll done before the Oscars.

Oh no, I’m not closing this thing until we have at least 30 to 40 ballots

Thanks, appreciate not closing this week or whatever. I need time.

ha no chance i have the time put together a ballot for this. maybe i'll just submit my flickchart list that i made when i was 20.

Will vote for sure, just got too damn much going on.

Oh no, I’m not closing this thing until we have at least 30 to 40 ballots

I don't want to start another poll while one's still running, but we've only ever reached 30 ballots once in the yearly polls, so it might take a few years' accretion to hit 40 in this one!

All polls cancelled till we do this one in five years.

idk i think all-time has more of an audience than the yearly polls, it is hard for me to keep up with movie releases over a year but i certainly know the movies i love most

The horror movie poll got like 60 ballots. Half that shouldn’t be too tough

Is the idea that these are the most important films? My favorite films? The most "Sight and Sound poll" films?

The horror movie poll got like 60 ballots. Half that shouldn’t be too tough

60 ballots in three weeks, vs three months so far here. Deadines focus the mind.

The idea is however you take the phrase “all-time movies”

Time Bandits, Modern Times, Good Time, Ashes of Time, Bad Timing, Short Time...

;)

...purple rain...

will def be sending a ballot. have a loose draft of about 150, that i will narrow down as late as possible

I started putting a ballot together a while back and let it get away from me. Bummed that, since the nominations closed, I've already seen one non-nominated film that should absolutely be on my ballot but I also wonder if there's any point in including it given the lack of nomination. I might need to pow-wow with my youth pastor on this one.

just did a haphazard sweep of the noms and got a half-decent top 25 put together, so i guess i'm gonna vote

Can I do a write-in? if so, then I can come up with a 25

if you read the above posts they will reveal that write-ins are extremely allowed and nigh-encouraged

I've sent in a ballot. If Eric could let me know he received it, that would be great!

probably futile and ridiculous to do any campaigning for such a massive and personal endeavor but i would like to encourage folks to see/revisit Peter Weir's Fearless (1993). not at the top of my list or anything but it'll be on there somewhere. a movie close to my heart and one i never hear anyone talk about ever.

It's very good, iirc. It's been a while.

I did a Facebook countdown of favourite movies with two friends a decade ago, and--I checked back--one of them had Fearless at #12.

very cool, glad to hear i'm not the only one! one of the things i like about it is that it feels like an incredibly rare example of extreme vulnerable emotion in the context of relatively slick Hollywood production values. Jeff Bridges and Rosie Perez are both excellent, among each of their best.

Is Zardoz on the list? Asking for a friend possibly putting together a very basic ballot.

Also Aronofsky's Pi, I'm hearing.

some good stuff is missing :(

As a few posts have pointed out, unless you're heavily invested in the results, and you're worried about voting for something not on the big list, you can vote for whatever you want.

afaik the list is mostly a compendium of films put forward on other threads, it's more just a reminder than a definitive nominations list

why read the posts when you can ask questions about the posts and then not read the replies

i am sort of sorry

Fearless is pretty good -- my first adult notice of Jeff Bridges as actor -- but Bridges' mullet is a hindrance.

Are we allowed to vote in this if Morbs would have sneered at our lack of filmic knowledge?

The trouble with snarking at people for not succesfully scouring every single post (when they might be text fatigued from looking through a long list of things) in search of rules that might be better placed in say the OP is that this post now might look it's criticising the poll runner(s), which it is not.

Lotta mullet-adjacent dadhair in Weir's American films - Depardieu in Green Card, sunbleached Ford in Mosquito Coast. He even tried to fake one on Ed Harris with that beret.

Stuff in my personal favorites that's not mentioned here yet:

Some kind of monster
Predator
Reanimator
Falling down
Freaked

There should be a mullet movie poll

If I've said this twice then how many times have people said something along the lines of "it's not a nomination list, it's a suggestion list" in the thread? Got to be twenty or so.

Pretty close. This appeared before the "nominations" list did in the first thirty posts:

― Infanta Terrible (j.lu), Saturday, March 6, 2021 4:45 AM (four months ago)

doesn't seem to work now? I've only ever seen about 38 movies and possibly want to celebrate about 11 of them, so no biggie except I feel noms list should perhaps be easier to access?

also, RE: "no, I don't know why pastebin flagged the list as NSFW", is it because of Warhol's Blow Job?

― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Saturday, May 15, 2021 7:55 AM (two months ago)

I had a pastebin list of songs flagged as NSFW and it turned out it was due to the presence of "You're a Queer One" from the Carousel soundtrack.

when I think about the work involved in compiling these ballots, with no nomination list, I would not be surprised if it took quite a while

― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, July 14, 2021 8:03 AM (six days ago)

Don’t know how I would have finished my ballot in time without that nomination list.

:-D

It would have been easier to throw a ballot together (in 40 minutes when Eric announced votes were closing) if we'd had a nomination list, for sure. Perhaps this should be considered for the 2021 version of the All-Time Film poll?

It’s certainly worth considering.

looking forward to a new thread

The process continues.

Can someone please repost the link to the new thread, I couldn’t find it.
