voting for the Xixax Dekapenticon

[modage]

well.....sixteen of my choices are on that list.....

and    .....P    touche.

so your final list will be 15 of those 16 choices, correct?  or will you be swayed by some of the more exotic choices of other boardmembers and neglect one of your own pics for something different?

[aclockworkjj]

Translation: Can I still vote for "Amelie"?

err...all 15 times?

i will most likely be swayed..b/c in retrospect their are some on that list that I forgot... ...
and i believe that is the fair way to do it also, ...gotta be fair and impartial to a degree....

I'm hoping the point system is implemented for the final ballot.

dont give in to peer pressure!  i'd say stick with your favorites because otherwise its not opinions truly coming from the board its giving what you think will fit in.  what isnt fair and impartial about that?  its the ONLY impartial way to do it.  i guess the only exception to this rule would be someone (like me) who only nominated one film per director.  some of those directors films got on, just not any of the ones i voted for.  so replacing a vote for something lesser with a different film from a better director would be the exception.

It will be.

[SHAFTR]

my disappointments:

too much PTA
too much jonze
too much coen

no chaplin

The fact that there isn't a single Bergman film just boggles my mind.

[NEON MERCURY]

..that is a good list......

innnterested in the battles though.....

casino vs. goodffellas
BJM vs. adapt..
Godfather vs. Godfather 2
jackie brown vs. pulp
rushmore vs. tenn.
vertigo vs. psycho......

[modage]

i think this is right...

kubrick: 6
scorsese: 4
lynch: 3
pta: 3
coens: 3
coppola: 3
tarantino: 2
jonze: 2
hitchcock: 2
wes anderson: 2

so by this definition, spike jonze has made more great films than fellini.

[Alethia]

films that shouldn't be on there IMO (not sayin bad, but not deservin of best of all time)


barton fink
big lebowski
brazil
being john malkovich
casino
donnie darko
fight club
matrix
shawshank redemption

the rest seem reasonable, while most were not my picks if i recall, but i can work with em, overall a satisfying list but a few very disappointing surprises
