No Blackstar? Like the Grammys, RS has now lost all credibility with me.

Either Pixar, to fit in with the Disney theme (plus I have seen all of them), or a general animated films poll, which would be great to see.

Daniel

Thanks, whuntva! That was a lot of fun! Pleasantly surprised by the #1 movie. One of my favourites. Any interest in hosting another survey again sometime soon? Top Pixar movies, perhaps? Top horror movies for the month of October, maybe? Top war movies for November? Top Christmas movies for December?

Daniel

Very happy to see that my #1 favourite, The Jungle Book, made the Top 5.

Daniel

Wonderful presentation, whuntva! A few surprises so far!

Daniel

Looks like I'm actually going to get through all of them in time! Gonna power through the Home on the Range/Chicken Little/Meet the Robinsons trifecta of terror tomorrow and then all I have left is Winnie the Pooh (though I'll still be re-watching those in between beforehand). My expectations for H...

I've finally published the new rankings for this year, now expanded to a full top 1000. For the next few days I'll be working on getting the other lists on the site updated as well, and once that's done I'll begin my quest on implementing a new big feature on the site. Stay tuned! https://www.treas...

Daniel

I am interested! I think there's only a few I haven't seen yet.

Daniel

I love the "They Shoot Pictures Don't They" and "They Shoot Zombies Don't They" sites. I wish someone would put together a similar site dedicated to the best animated movies. Maybe call it "They Shoot Bambi's Mother Don't They?"

34. George Michael I feel justified in being a George Michael fan knowing that the founder of Acclaimed Music is also a fan. :music-listening: Nice playlist!

A lot less John Williams than I would have expected (no Star Wars: A New Hope; Superman; Raiders of the Lost Ark?), and for a list that has Vangelis at #1, I am shocked that the far more iconic Chariots of Fire score is not on the list.

Daniel

Oof, didn't expect to see Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence tumble 10 spots even while gaining my #1 vote. It is surprising. Upon further inspection, the song did move further down DaveC and Live in Phoenix's ballots from their previous lists, and aside from your vote, only appeared on 1 new ballot. By...

Do you prefer the 1970 version from The Temptations Christmas Card or the 1980 version from Give Love at Christmas?

Wonder how "Baby, It's Cold Outside" will fare now that we are at the height of the #MeToo movement? I'm going to guess that it will have little or no effect on the results this year.
