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

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.

dammit Texas Chainsaw Massacre, oh well...

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.

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.

VOTED! Everybody else vote, too -- it's the only way you can dilute my influence now.

In Pj Soles voice: “Ballots please? I need ballots please.”

sent!

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.

Will try to finalize my +100 tomorrow

voted

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:

All Right, Mr. DeMille, I'm Ready For My Close-Up ... It's The ILXOR's Top 101 Director Poll Results Thread

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.

can get my ballot in today

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

Almost done.

Genre-wise: no silents, Comedies or Romance or SF or action, just arthouse and politics and aesthetics day and night lol no

but arthouse and politics also include romance and comedies

I mean, how highly placed is The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear?

Not a lot of laughter in my choices, and all the love goes bad

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.

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.

(bar Oceania lol)

fp’d

Wake in Fright
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Mad Max
Crocodile Dundee
Muriel's Wedding

Think you get the picture.

The Devil's Playground and The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith though.

I mean, how highly placed is The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear?

You know that great, great ilx poster xyzzzz__?

so they call me "James the Red," eh? Ha, ha, ha, ha!

You know what they say: James does the Redding and ILX does the Blecching! Aha aha aha!

ballot sent

this poll is going to rule!

Not sure how and why but yes, have received approximately 12 new ballots in the last week plus change.

Worried my ballot will be the most boring.

do we have a hard and fast deadline yet?

yeah March 1st

lol
