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.

Oh, you put it there too. As you know, I have been paying some attention on another venue.

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

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").

The Master isn’t even top-tier PTA, let alone better than Georgy Girl(it is excellent obv)
― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Sunday, 16 May 2021 02:07 (three years ago) link
FINE, Georgy Girl made 25, in fact I just stuck to those arbritray numbers I threw out last night and filled in the other spots with some other stuff. Giving this too much thought would be THE PATH TO MADNESS, so I messaged My Brother and asked him the 3rd best film of all time, then put that at 3. One entry per director, yeahyeahyeah I've missed plenty but it's a list of 25 awesome films.
(The Master is at 14, FIGHT ME)

Almost done with my plus 100...or am I?

dammit forgot Satoshi Kon. Also Bladerunner, but I ain't going back now I will live or die by this list

These list are not etched in stone or even scratched on film for eternity, they are merely time-wise cross sections. So it goes.

Got my 25 and my 100, just the ranking of the 25 left to go.

If you've made up a list, you may as well also submit it here:

Have they done this before? If so, I missed it. Not sure if this will count towards their big list.

I saw that. Could be a RnR HoF situation where the results are added as a single “ballot” among thousands.

I'm nearly done with a ballot. Got the 25 set, just finalizing the 100.

I sent a ballot a few days ago - can I get confirmation that it was received? I sent it from a bit of strange email address (a4a**✧✧✧@te✧✧✧.n✧✧).
Thank you!

telus dot net is the end of that address.
― Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Wednesday, 19 May 2021 16:19 (three years ago) link
Received! I'll update the list of ballots received in the next couple days and post here. Polling is most definitely not closed until I get a ballot from Alfred imo.
― i carry the torch for disco inauthenticity (Eric H.), Wednesday, 19 May 2021 16:32 (three years ago) link
VOTED! Everybody else vote, too -- it's the only way you can dilute my influence now.

I sent mine yesterday, before I could spend too much time second-guessing it.

OK, love mutton, I'll send you a ballot tomorrow as soon as I re-watch The Naked Gun 2 1/2 to confirm its place.

Almost... have my +100. Would be nice to have a list of just all the nominated directors to work with.

don't know if it helps, but here's the 101 top directors poll from a few years ago:

Would be nice to have a list of just all the nominated directors to work with.
at this point any vote for a "nominated" film should be stricken from the results

Ha, I get it. Almost done anyway, but thanks.

Same, will start drafting in a bit.
Only doing a top 10

Just sent the full thing. *phew*

Just drafting now - I am putting one experimental short, one B-movie, one quasi-documentary. Making sure there is one from every continent (bar Oceania lol) means I need to go to 11
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 13:01 (two years ago) link
Almost done.
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 13:01 (two years ago) link
Genre-wise: no silents, Comedies or Romance or SF or action, just arthouse and politics and aesthetics day and night lol no
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 13:04 (two years ago) link
but arthouse and politics also include romance and comedies

ok - so I have put in a Romantic SF film I've never watched in the cinema but have seen on TV about 20 times.
My Latin American choice was one of the weirdest random screenings of recent years that was just awesome.
So 12 it is! I'll sleep on it and email tomorrow.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 13:23 (two years ago) link
Took me all the strength to not put Stone's JFK in this lol.
I put in a bunch of Latin American stuff, had to leave out some more, probably forgot about or never saw even more.
