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.

Are we speeding this up? I thought I had a few more days before posting this. If so, no big deal, I just didn't want you to think I was flaking.

Hasn't it been three days since the last one? I don't really have a schedule. Just trying to keep them rolling.

I don't know. I usually wait 3 days from the day '40-something goes up, and that went up two days ago. Either way, no problem. I'll do the tally.

EDIT: Nevermind. It was 3 days ago. That wedding set me back a bit.

Isaac · 06-02-2008, 05:03 PM

1. Things to Come
2. The Crime of Monsieur Lange
3. Fury
4. Modern Times
5. Sisters of the Gion

Of the 22 films I've seen from this year, not one gets four stars from me. I'd like to see The Story of a Cheat.

Those are the three films I've seen from the year. I could pass on the consensus, but I like all three of them and there's not a chance #2 and 3 are gonna win, so... More support for Chaplin.

Trouble is, I remember really liking it but I can't remember anything about it. I vaguely recall the plot. Every time I think of Astaire for some reason I can only think of scenes from 'Top Hat' and 'Easter Parade'.

I'll stick with Singa.

Spinal · 06-03-2008, 04:02 PM

I Love to Singa is memorable. But I'm not really convinced it is an exceptional film. The comedy is not very sharp and the animation is kind of drab, in my opinion.
