LOVED this show. It's pitched almost as a comedic British X-Files but with ghosts instead of aliens, but it actually has a generous dose of Doctor Who DNA but with lots of swears. It's really fun and a great example of episodic storytelling. I just finished S1 this morning and I'm still on bit of a high from it. Treat yourself and give it a watch.

I humbly suggest that we do this one as a best movies of the past 20 years rather than a best all-time. I’m just worried about putting a bunch of effort into it and then ending up with basically the same list.

 

I also think it's best to have a larger pool of nominations.

It can be a bit of a headache to count and compile nominations that are made in a thread in no standardized format, with all sorts of different spellings, punctuations, and capitalizations. But I don't think the turnout would be overwhelming enough to be concerned. In any case, I think we've found that decreasing the barrier to entry (not requiring any special formatting etc.) increases participation quite a bit.

I assume the nominating process would not ask people to do any ranking. That phase is just about compiling a list of titles, right?

I would say the people organizing this should exercise some amount of editorial control over the nominees. We've found that to be essential sometimes in the Xixax Awards. The will of the voters/nominators is usually very clear in most situations, though, and you want to reward the energy of the people who participate in the nomination phase.
