Submit your five favorite films from this year and in a week I will give you a top ten. IMDb dates will be used.

The point system is as follows

1st Place-5 points
2nd Place-4 points
3rd Place-3.5 points
4th Place-3 points
5th Place-2.5 points

There will be no restrictions on short films. A minimum of three films must be listed. You may edit your post freely up until the time that the thread is locked, which will be in about a week. I will give at least 24 hours warning before tallying votes.

You may begin now.

Every 3 or 4 days, a new one will be posted.

Time Person of the Year for 1969:

The Middle Americans

Sycophant · 02-28-2008, 07:47 PM

Comparing top ten lists of thrity years ago with those of five or ten years ago has me wondering if in twenty years, people of our generations will have the same relative general opinions.

Also, I'm trying to figure if I've seen three worthy films from 1969. In case I'm not actually able to put a vote in.

For your consideration:

Take the Money and Run

soitgoes... · 02-28-2008, 07:47 PM

1. Goyokin (Hideo Gosha)
2. Army of Shadows (Jean-Pierre Melville)
3. This Man Must Die (Claude Chabrol)
4. Z (Costa-Gavras)
5. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (George Roy Hill)
------------------------------------------------------------
6. Double Suicide (Masahiro Shinoda)
7. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (Ronald Neame)

I can't say that this is a very strong year for me.

The Board game and cereal are clearly better than the magazine. C'mon now.

Do it. You'lle be either blown away or very confused (probably both)

By the by, according to Wikipedia, Beat Takeshi does appear in the Wakamatsu film, as an extra. I saw it a couple years ago and cannot remember at all, but look sharp.

Nah, you don't work at Imdb.

I've come to expect this from them by now.

It's good to see Kes is '69 film since I have it taped. This gives me the motivation to get to it ASAP.
