re: Discussion: Top 200 Movies We Agree Don't Suck - 2.0

Dreaded double post

Will yall be angry though when me, Jamohn and iwy start debating the finer points of mustached apex predators and the benefits/drawbacks of being a pirate when we should be discussing the polarizing effects of a movie like Drive instead?

How long is voting open?

so if I'm reading the rules correctly, I can just put Blue right? Because while I enjoyed the trilogy, Blue is the only elite film of the bunch. (in my shitty opinion, of course )

It was hard to leave off so many great, game changing classics. Many of which, along with many modern era films,I would rather watch and would quicker recommend over some on my list. A median between movies that we think are best and movies we enjoy most is what was asked for and that is what I attempted to do. Ask me again in a month or so and the last 10-15 on my list could change. The Passio of Joan of Arc is not something I would recommend to most and not something I would want to watch many times over. Its one of those old classics that was so meaningful its shown to kids in schools, me being one of those. When I returned to it as an adult, it still spoke to me and I came to find, through research, that it is widely regarded as one of the most influencial, respected movies ever made. I felt obligated to include it high on my list.

Just realized I only included one 21st century film. A few that would be included on a much longer list:

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind - Requiem for a Dream - A History of Violence - There Will Be Blood - Lost in Translation - 300 - The Master - The Departed - O Brother, Where Art Thou? - Take Shelter

deadline for voting?

---

About 2 weeks, maybe a little longer, since the size of the ballot is large.

In about 10 days I will put a "NO CHANGES" tag in the thread so that I can start counting. That means at least most ballots will be final. I will take new ballots from new posters, but I will start counting page by page.

btw could we not do the reveal during Catholic Holy week as in the end of March I won't be able to see it then.

if you hvae to do it then oh well, I just like to be a part of it.

In case anyone is interested, here are the decade voting threads.

Thanks. I'm relatively new to the board, so I haven't seen those old threads. Where are the final results from the old voting threads? That's the main thing I'm interested in. But the voting threads themselves don't seem to include the final results (unless I'm overlooking them).
