MC Yearly Consensus - 1977 - match-cut.org Forums

Kurosawa Fan · 04-22-2008, 08:21 PM

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.

I think The Wages of Fear is one of the greatest films ever made, yet I'm not a big fan of Sorcerer.

Well that's a shame... I'm more a fan of Frankenheimer than Friedkin anyway.

Hopefully I'll get to The Duellists and Allegro Non Troppo before the deadline.

Yeah, I'm not sure why you'd intentionally skew the votes of a consensus. I mean, I can see why, just not why you'd say that's what you're doing outright.

And it has Duvall and Spacek looking dreamy throughout. Since I typically underrate Altman's work, I figure I should counteract that tendency for my fave.

Actually I'm pretty sure that 3 Women is the only film that placed on my top 50, so I guess it actually is my fave. I'll edit the comment about manipulating the vote accordingly...

soitgoes... · 04-22-2008, 11:11 PM

Has anyone been doing this? I've been listing my top 5 just as they are, without regards to whether anyone else has seen/voted for it. I think it makes for a more accurate consensus.

Eleven · 04-22-2008, 11:17 PM

My Top 11s blog has made this much easier, as I just copy my top 5 from that and make changes if need be. I don't care what anyone else puts down unless I'm tallying.
