Films of the 1970s (2018 Edition) Results

Post by BleuPanda »

Here's some basic info for the presentation.

The fans section is simply anyone who listed a movie in their top 30.
The haters section is anything ranked in your bottom 10%.
Movies you haven't seen are treated as your median film.
I used the 2100/(i+20) formula



We had 8 voters this time around:
BleuPanda (110)
bonnielaurel (136)
Dexter (128)
Greg (137)
Michel (140)
Miguel (69)
Petri (137)
whuntva (78)




I will start...soon. If you notice any problem with the list above, please let me know ASAP (specifically if, say, you sent me a list and you're not listed above...).

Great presentation and results BleuPanda. Thanks for releasing these.

A bit sad that even some regulars didn’t vote for in the final. On the other hand now we’re probably/hopefully going to see some big surprises even in top 20 (and it is also good that everybody who voted have seen a lot of these finalists).

Sorry for the delays; the sad thing is, it's literally just the pictures holding me up. I have all the info laid out and ready to go, but finding a properly sized image (without watermarks), then formatting it down so there's a consistent size, all that, it's this tedious task that I'm usually fine with but for whatever reason keep getting bored by. I'll try to get back to this soooooon (and will probably switch it up to great shots instead of posters for the top 50 because I'm tired of posters and would rather actually show the movie).

After being depressed for the majority of the last year, I've suddenly found myself energized which is why I'm finally tackling this - the problem is that burst of energy is also compelling me to work on other projects, so I'm not really managing my time well (but at least I'm back to doing things I enjoy!).

I do...it will just take some time. Sorry about all of this.


Though it will be slightly off since I used my own movie list for mine and that's another file I lost (my most recent backup was apparently in October, I need to do that more often...), so some of my numbers might not line up exactly anymore.

Thanks, BP. I was hoping for a different number 1, but it was to be expected.

Excellent job BleuPanda. That's a fine Top 11. Francis Ford Coppola may have the greatest 4-film masterpiece streak in cinema (The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather Part II and Apocalypse Now).

Probably. There are some that might rival it but it's hard to beat.

Thanks Bleu.
Apocalypse Now was the big favorite to win but knowing that bonnielaurel isn't a fan and so few voted I thought there was a chance that any of the top 5 movies could win. And it was very close. Only 4 points spots the difference between Taxi Driver and AN (last time it was 112 points (!!) (with 12 voters) between AN and Godfather (which was #2 last time). Last time Coppola had three movies in top 3.
Great results in general. Many of my favorites ended quite high. Aguirre in top 5 wasn't a surprise (top 3 placement was really close) because I assumed it's Greg's and whuntva's #1 (and my #2). Still great improvement from last time.
Monty Python in top 10 (and Sleuth at #12 (with only 4 votes though). Didn't see that coming.
