Freauxzen Alexandria Member since Feb 2006 5265 posts	Already Voted? Check Update -*TD.com Top 100 Voting (Posted on 11/4/09 at 7:31 p.m.) John Connor and the Holy Grail UPDATE: A change has been issued to give us some more movies, and therefore extend the voting period as well. You will now extend your Top 10 list into a Top 20. This gives you a chance to put in those movies that were missed and gives us a better chance at a Top 50 with all movies receiving at least 2 or 3 votes. Top 50 Science Fiction and Top 50 Comedy Movies** OMG "It's Here!!! I didn't think Freaux's Lazy arse would ever do it. You are joking. And he came up with a lame-o title to boot!" Well, my answer to that last question is, I asked for other suggestions so in order to not wait any longer, a lame title it is. Contrary to popular belief, the whole reason I didn't do it was because I never had more than 4 days between trips for the past 3 months. Not enough to spend time checking, tallying, checking, double checking, etc. But if you notice I have been posting more recently, and I just returned from a 6 city tour, and now that I am sitting down grading what seems to be an endless amount of college sophomore composition papers, I figure it's time to do it as I should catch up with work right around time to tally up scores in 6 days. So, yes, it is happening. For real. Honest. No this isn't a mirage. Plus I am super excited for the next two lists: Top Directors (Spring) and Fall of 2010 will be the big Top 100 of the Decade, which will be a blast (should I start pressing for The Prestige now?). So here are the rules, a little different from last time: Two sets of top 50 films, Science Fiction and Comedy, the "fun genres." So rank your Top 20 of each 1-20. Number 1 being your highest ranked, and 20 being your lowest. Please be clear about your lists. Although we will not put limits on what is or isn't a genre fulfilling film--the debate over Star Wars as sci-fi--give it some thought at least. Comedies are easy, science fiction is a tough genre though. So,get to watching, remembering, voting, reliving those wonderful moments of joy or wonderment. And..... "Listen, Strange women, lying in ponds, distributing swords, is no basis for a system of government." Have fun. Sorry for the wait folks. I really do enjoy the board, and I hope people enjoy the voting/ranking/listing process. I know I do, it's just been busy for me. P.S. I am taking requests for writers of small reviews/analysis of the top films. Top 5 of each group if I have enough. Closing votes in: 2 days Writers: Freaxuzen Stewie Griffin Someone constant cough Baloo glaucon alajones This post was edited on 11/17 at 9:54 a.m.

And, of course, I volunteer to write for any of the ones I vote for (and even the ones I don't if you're in a pinch). I need to think on my lists though, and don't want to send them yet. It's harder than you think.

I did a sci fi one because I knew it would be harder. Had to leave a lot of great movies out. 1. Metropolis - Pretty much set the stage for every other science fiction film that followed it. Too bad we will never see it in its entirety 2. Back to the Future - my favorite movie of all time 3. Brazil 4. Alien 5. The Terminator 6. A Clockwork Orange 7. Aliens 8. Time Bandits 9. Videodrome 10. Repo Man Soylent Green and The Day the Earth Stood Still were my last two out. I decided to go with movies that I personally love over movies that were artistically amazing. It was also hard not to include the original War of the Worlds. Anyway, I could keep going, but this is my fanboy list. This post was edited on 11/5 at 12:23 p.m.

It's tough, because I love the sci fi genre and will be leaving off many great movies. quote:* Freaux -- where do I send my lists? Post in thread, same process as last time. quote: Just out of curiosity, are romantic comedies a part of Comedies or a completely separate genre? If so what would be the line? Yes. The movie's intent determines it's genre. If it's meant to make you laugh, it's a comedy. Now there are a few movies, Dr. Strangelove, that could be considered both in this case, and those are totally viable in either. This isn't an either or. quote: Should I post my first list in this thread? Yup. quote: Don't know SciFi enough to name a legit top 10. Go for it anyway. It's not like we have a bunch of snobs around here. And it would be good to have an equal vote count for each. quote: Again I alphabetized it instead of listing them in order, it really was hard enough just to narrow it to ten. I use a version of the IMDB formula to rank them, so I really do need a ranked list. This does a few things: 1) Keeps it from having too many ties. 2) Weights how good you actually think it is compared to the stuff you have seen. A movie with fewer votes than another but an average higher ranking has a chance of beating it out. This post was edited on 11/5 at 2:10 p.m.
