Redos, right? I forgot a necessary Spike Lee movie, among others.

Yup! Feel free to submit revisions.
Also, as a reminder to everyone, please indicate your ILX username with your submitted ballot.

Is it too late to submit something?
― Dan Worsley, Wednesday, 31 March 2021 16:57 (three years ago) link
Not at all. This poll remains an open-ended prospect indefinitely, but it's feeling increasingly likely that I won't actually close it until the end of spring or thereabouts.

Got a day off tomorrow, will try and put a list, 10-12 should be my submission

So out curiosity, what criteria are people using in putting ballots together? There's the old "favorite" vs. "best" conundrum, but also are folks deliberately aiming for, say, diversity across decades, nationalities, etc, or just, like, listing every Judd Apatow movie?

I always list favourites, don't even think about what's important. I dropped a few old ones I've seen way too many times and replaced them with stuff I've come to love within the past five years.

Yeah. Worry about self-pleausure in every sense.

I tried to do a personal list, too. Hopefully this doesn't mean there is no consensus!
― Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, 31 March 2021 18:17 (three years ago) link
Another reason I'm waiting to collate (other than my work life just being insane lately) is so that we don't just have a series of 12-way ties, if at all possible. Only getting in excess of 25-30 ballots will hopefully ensure that won't happen.

OK, long weekend coming up so will try to get something done then.

mandatory voting for all ILXors imo

Well, at least anyone whose movie taste was chided as moronic by Morbs.
― avatar of a kind of respectability homosexual culture (Eric H.), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 18:39 (three years ago) link
that's pretty much everyone if i'm not mistaken
― davey, Wednesday, 31 March 2021 18:42 (three years ago) link
or maybe not, but i'm definitely in that set
― davey, Wednesday, 31 March 2021 18:45 (three years ago) link
Wish Morbs was here so I could argue with him about Intolerance.
― Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 18:47 (three years ago) link
When I was creating my ballot I was constantly thinking “this would enrage morbs”

Was going to do this with Joe Dante movies but decided not to cause i don't like all of them

'fav vs best' has never been an issue for me bc the movies that i like are objectively the best
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Thursday, 1 April 2021 12:19 (three years ago) link
it's never fav vs best, the choice is always fav vs "carefully edited list to boost moderately popular favs, avoid boosting consensus favs and abandon favs which nobody else will vote for" - I have gone for the first option, fairly sure that I will be the sole voter for 4 of the films in my top 5.

I'm going to self-indulgently predict the rankings for my top 10 here1. #852. DNP3. DNP4. DNP5. DNP6. #987. #178. DNP9. #5510. #26
― Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:40 (three years ago) link
That would balance out all the #1 votes for Mank.

Its a mix: There has got to be one from France, Japan, Iran then I go to continents. I'll get an extra Euro, one from East Asia and China/India, one from Latin America, one from Africa. There isn't one that's good enough from Oceania.
US will get one but its the 'joker in the pack' (proper good but people might wince at it), one doc, one experimental film. No silents because I've not seen enough.
That's 11.
Shit gender balance rn.

Still have some fantasy I am going to participate in this. Inspired by your personal rollout on social media.

it's your personal favourites, don't stress over it too much.

Wouldn’t describe it as stress, exactly
