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?
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 21:55 (three years ago) link
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.

Almost got to my hundred unranked.

ballot submitted! so weird (but fun) to compare the virtues of Stalker vs Jurassic Park

I have seen some jurassic park fan theories which go some way to bridging this gap

a couple of things i would have voted for weren't nominated, but that's my fault!
house (Nobuhiko Ôbayashi, 1977)downfall (Oliver Hirschbiegel, 2004)
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:15 (three years ago) link
House is there as Hausu, it'll be in my unranked 100
― ignore the blue line (or something), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:19 (three years ago) link
oh shit! thank you! I will send an update to Eric and hope that it can count. I saw it for the first time recently and was blown away
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:23 (three years ago) link
you can also vote for stuff that wasn't nominated
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:24 (three years ago) link
and I don't know if it's inappropriate or unethical, but an illegal late voting-period shoutout to Hausu/House (1977), which is so cool
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:27 (three years ago) link
I did email Eric to add Hausu/House, but not Downfall. tbh i'm in the middle of watching it today and i've got "i'm currently watching this and loving it" goggles on
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:28 (three years ago) link
I just finished Ian Kershaw's Hitler biography and it (unsurprisingly) has all the scenes from Downfall in the penultimate chapter.

do you know if the movie is supposed to be historically accurate? or does it take artistic liberties?
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:36 (three years ago) link
I am thrilled this is still open! I thought I missed it months ago and was too scared to look. Will submit my ballot by the end of the weekend I hope.
― tangent x (tangenttangent), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:49 (three years ago) link
how many ballots are there so far? if that info is declassified that is
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 May 2021 23:50 (three years ago) link
I have to double check but I think it's in the 20-25 range.
― i carry the torch for disco inauthenticity (Eric H.), Saturday, 15 May 2021 00:11 (three years ago) link
Assuming you received my top 25.
― Working in the POLL Mine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 15 May 2021 00:39 (three years ago) link
I did.

when I really started thinking about it I had a hard time limiting it even to 25 + 100

Karl - Kershaw says the film is very accurate, see here- https://www.theguardian.com/film/2004/sep/17/germany

25 challenging because of course you are forced to leave something out but in addition may actually forget some favorite, +100 hard because want to get in some of the missing favorites from the 25 as well as cover Everything Else: other films by favorite directors, more obscure stuff, or even stuff by all the big directors you couldn’t single out any films for to make the top 25 etc.

You can vote for it, nominations were just suggestions.

I saw it recently and got more out it than before. Still don’t think it is top-tier but it’s got some great things in it and some amusing backstory, especially the one about the highly regarded French actor who who couldn’t speak English and how they worked around this
― Working in the POLL Mine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 15 May 2021 13:59 (three years ago) link
OK, I'm working on this today. It took me an hour just to delete the ones I hadn't seen. I got to Showgirls and said a silent apology to Eric as I hit the Delete key.

I tried not to look at that list at all if I could help it. In any case, I am usually much more motivated to vote in a poll with this kind of turnout.
― Working in the POLL Mine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 15 May 2021 17:31 (three years ago) link
Ok i wasn't planning to do this (Morbius thought I didn't have the intellectual capacity to appreciate "The Master" because I said the Terrible Film Bridge Of Spies was a Terrible Film) but I might do it tomorrow just cus rewatching Svankmajer's Alice this deserves a number one vote from somebody, actually if I do this I'll put Stalker at 1, Alice at 2, fuck it I can definitely hit 25 with Lynch & Lynne Ramsey! Midnight Run top 10, Pain & Gain 23, Billy Liar 24, Georgy Girl 25. Kes 11. Fuck I'll prolly forget to do this. Manhunter 4ish. Dammit I'll do 25 tomorrow I promise but not the 100
― Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Saturday, 15 May 2021 22:30 (three years ago) link
("The Master" there being Spielberg, not "The Master" the film which dammit just occured to me is the 14th best film of all time, Georgy Girl getting bumped off the bottom)
― Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Saturday, 15 May 2021 22:32 (three years ago) link
Was gonna say if Morbs was a fan of that PTA movie, it would've been news to me.

we have already pieced together important fragments of the j.h. mumble ballot
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Saturday, 15 May 2021 23:50 (three years ago) link
I’ve been trying to imagine the final entry in your countdown, Eric. Given your restriction to one film per director, so far there is still no Visconti, Tarkovsky, Fellini, Herzog, Scorcese, Wong, Truffaut, Chaplin, Ophuls, Wilder, Leone, Malick, or Satyajit Ray, among others. I have a couple of guesses but wouldn’t be surprised to be wildly off
― Dan S, Saturday, 15 May 2021 23:51 (three years ago) link
Don't bump Georgy Girl!
― clemenza, Saturday, 15 May 2021 23:53 (three years ago) link
Oh, Eric's countdown?
― Working in the POLL Mine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 16 May 2021 00:05 (three years ago) link
So, in preparing a ballot for an online movie poll, I concurrently revised my #Top100Movies list, so time for another daily countdown! Unlike last time, I limited myself to one film per director in this version. Here we go:100.

hope it's ok for me to post that. you have to keep clicking show replies to see the whole list
― Dan S, Sunday, 16 May 2021 00:13 (three years ago) link
Oh, you put it there too. As you know, I have been paying some attention on another venue.
― Working in the POLL Mine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 16 May 2021 00:24 (three years ago) link
I’m pretty sure Eric’s #1 won’t be a Scorsese.

no :)
― Dan S, Sunday, 16 May 2021 00:29 (three years ago) link
my choice for his #1 would be In the Mood for Love, and my second choice would be a Tarkovsky film of which there are many to choose from
― Dan S, Sunday, 16 May 2021 00:41 (three years ago) link
I didn't vote for it, but nice to see someone else remembers Crime Wave. I sat by John Paizs at Cinematheque Ontario once while he was talking to someone about his filmmaking plans (and promptly forgot all details except "I sat by John Paizs").
