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

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!

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.

that's pretty much everyone if i'm not mistaken

or maybe not, but i'm definitely in that set

Wish Morbs was here so I could argue with him about Intolerance.

When I was creating my ballot I was constantly thinking “this would enrage morbs”

I am just going to rank the films of David lynch and send that in

if this doesn't get 25 voters i'll change all my votes to french clown movies

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

I could limit myself to movies with talking animals and animate objects.

*and/or
let's not get carried away.

My criteria were "would I sit down and rewatch this tonight?"

Just sent mine

i voted for whatever i have appreciated the most in the past and still adore now

'fav vs best' has never been an issue for me bc the movies that i like are objectively the best

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.

Is it cool if I fill every slot with Citizen Kane

I'm going to self-indulgently predict the rankings for my top 10 here

1. #85
2. DNP
3. DNP
4. DNP
5. DNP
6. #98
7. #17
8. DNP
9. #55
10. #26

That would balance out all the #1 votes for Mank.

(xp)

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?

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.

joker (2019) in the pack

Actually haven't seen it lol

The optimal prerequisite for being in a position to actually vote for it.

'fav vs best' has never been an issue for me bc the movies that i like are objectively the best

But I also like CaAL’s approach

Oh Morbs, if you could have only lived to see this...

so

Still accepting ballots fwiw!

👍

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

I'm not going to vote, but very much looking forward to the roll out.

I *think* I can do this weekend.

in honor of Dr. Morbius, who was ILX's biggest fan of ballot polls and ILX movie taste
indeed

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

Wouldn’t describe it as stress, exactly

More like a fugue/rupture in which I couldn't actually recall what my favorites were anymore.

Which I finally emerged from a few days ago.

ill vote next week if this is still open

Sent. The ranked part, at least.

Unbelievable the kind of stuff I had to leave out to get it down to 25.

Don't forget you can list up to 100 runners-up (all equal weight).

I didn't forget, but thanks for the reminder. Just didn't want to let that distract me from getting the top 25 in. Which I still want to tinker with, but won't :)

i've never put a film list together and i don't know very much, but i'll send a ballot! somebody's gotta represent the doofus vote

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