15 movies go to the final. Why 15 instead of 10? We have 30 years (+ pre 1920s) of cinema instead of 10 years so 150 movies sounds fair to me. Here's two alternative possibilities to divide those 30+x years to ten parts. -1919 1920-1924 (5 years) 1925-1928 (4 years) and then 7 parts with 3 years. O...

18 of bottom 25 are movies with English dialogue although almost half of the top 100 movies are not. Doesn't surprise me at all. I wonder when we see the first Asian film. It’s a shame Nights of Cabiria didn’t make the final 100. (BleuPanda) Nights of Cabiria could have been in top 50 if it had made...

Petri

Great presentation BleuPanda. No surprises in the bottom 5. Two movies from my bottom 10% and the rest were neither high on my list.

Petri

I'll submit my list and some instructions about formula this weekend (I've seen 81 movies so far). The score of the movie seen by one person is calculated 2100/(20+rank) and not seen movies get the same score than movie in the middle of the voters list. I'll explain better in the email.

I could host if no one else wants to. It would start December 1st, right? I think it could start in the first week of November. Releasing the final results takes only couble of days. 2-4 days depending how fast forumers want to them be released. If everyone sends the right excel-sheet, everything c...

Petri

Thanks for the results BleuPanda. It's great to see #10 with 86 points (and not like 45 or something). 1959 seems to be one of the strongest years of 1950s in cinema (or at least one that forumers have seen lots of movies). Are you taking care of the final or is JimmyJazz hosting it? If Jimmy is bus...

I propose this: Month 1: pre-1920 Month 2: 1920-1925 Months 3-10: Now we have 24 years to break into 8 equal parts It looks like option B is going to win. I think Jirin's schedule looks great (although 15 movies from pre-1920 means that we're going to have a lot of short films in the top 150 (maybe...

Petri

About option B). I should specify that we avoid misunderstanding. "1940s, 1930s and 1920s at the same time" means that in first month of the poll (probably in November or December) we vote for best movies from 1920-1922 (or 1949-1947) in one poll. 15 movies go to the final. And so on...

Petri

Because the tiebreaker-poll was success I decided open an another poll about a case we should make a decision. So should we continue the film polls sameway we have done them since 2000s or speed up by bringing together 40s, 30s and 20s (mostly because there are fewer and fewer people who have seen a...

Petri

The voting is closed. "The movie with the most voters" is the winner. Thanks for the voters! I'm very glad that we have finally officially decided what we do in cases like these (Of course there's still a chance that someday we have two or more movies with exactly same score and number of ...

Petri

I think we should officially decide what we do in case of tie in our movie polls. (We should also write down all the less used/known rules (less than five movies voted, only one person votes something etc.) and stick the thread because I think we will face these problems even more often when we go f...

According to RYM, IMDB and Wikipedia it's a 1960 movie (though TSPDT says 1959). If it's eligible now (which I think it shouldn't) it would be my #8.

I’m also sorry if I sounded rude. It wasn’t meant to be. I’m really thankful that you’re hosting the poll now again. I was a bit surprised that “less than five movies”-rule was so old (I should have written it in the rules again). If I haven’t checked I would have thought it was taken along during t...

I was eying the results and noticed the surprisingly high score of Bob le Flambeur (considering the only high placement was Stephan’s #2 but he voted for only two movies).

On The Waterfront
On The Waterfront (3 pts)

You have On The Waterfront twice on your list. So do you want to give it 10 points or 3 points? I doubt there won't be any change in the final results despite what your decision will be.

Petri

I've seen so far only six movies from 1954 (all of them worth of points though). Again I try to watch some new movies from 54 before dead line.
