watched the debut features (in some cases, they are only debatably their debuts) of john cassavetes, william friedkin, brian de palma, francis ford coppola, robert altman and oliver stone. if i had to guess which of those directors would go on to make the godfather , it would have been friedkin -- h...

i got mine in too

i was about to say i probably won't have time to start tallying this week anyway, so yes, we can push the deadline back. let's make it may 7 for now, but i'll check then to see if anyone still wants to submit a ballot.

literally haven't looked at a hockey score all year but i'll make some picks:

dallas
winnipeg
nashville
edmonton

florida
boston
ny rangers
carolina

carolina over dallas

no obligation of course, but it would be cool to see your list -- there's lots of time!

are we getting the year from letterboxd or imdb? there's a lot of variation between the two for some films it really doesn't matter too much, because i don't use the year when looking for duplicate votes, but i always include the year when posting the final results, so when people don't include the...

the deadline isn't strict, i'd rather get ballots from everyone than rush out the results. if anyone needs more time, just let me know how long you need

welcome back! and thx for getting the forum online again!

and whoa - hello thoxans!

i think this may not be the most recent scfz top 100 ballots thread (i couldn't find a more recent one though), but maybe it will help some people here get a head start on a new ballot, without needing to type everything up all over again: https://scfzforum.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=552 and since i...

i'm sure i'll edit this a bit later, but first draft of my ballot: A Moment of Innocence (Mohsen Makhmalbaf, 1996) They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (Sydney Pollack, 1969) Manoel’s Destinies (Raul Ruiz, 1984) Celine and Julie Go Boating (Jacques Rivette, 1974) Nostos: Il Ritorno (Franco Piavoli, 1989) ...

yes, thank you! i updated the original post

the SCFZ 10th Anniversary Poll is now open! this is a poll to identify our community's favourite films from cinema history. the rules: • you can vote for up to 100 films • short films and tv movies are eligible, tv shows and tv series are not • your ballot can be ranked in up to five tiers of equal ...

thank god the forum is back, doing this on discord would have been a nightmare. i'll open the poll today in a new thread!

I haven't seen May December yet, but I love Todd Haynes' work so I'll be checking it, hopefully soon. i think several of us were surprised it won the poll (and by a huge margin, actually, though it's closer now with the new ballots) -- even though we all voted for it! i'm not sure anyone had it in ...

FINAL RESULTS i have updated the results to reflect all the new ballots posted here and on discord. no change to #1, but changes otherwise in the top five. most obvious change is the rise of oppenheimer , from the mid-40s in our previous iteration to nearly a top ten spot in this one. and by pure s...

i have updated the count with all the ballots posted so far, unless someone lets me know they plan to post a ballot, i'll probably just go ahead and post the new results in 24 hours or so

thanks, that appears to be the correct year too, not sure why i had it in my notes as a 1945 film. well i guess i'll vote for hitchcock then!

i also posted this on discord, but in case the tabulator would prefer it here: Rome, Open City (Roberto Rossellini) Mildred Pierce (Michael Curtiz) Hangover Square (John Brahm) Danger Signal (Robert Florey) Kitty (Mitchell Leisen) Cornered (Edward Dmytryk) Les Enfants du Paradis (Marcel Carne) The H...

edit: lol, wrong thread

since there's roughly a 1 in 3.6 million chance a ranked ballot would also be in alphabetical order, i'm going to assume your ballot is unranked, but if that's not the case, please let me know!

i'm usually strict on the end-of-year poll deadline, but because so many people didn't get a chance to participate because of the forum going down, i'll factor in any new ballots that come up in the next couple of days. if you posted a ballot to discord though, please don't also post a new one here,...

with apologies to karl and cinesmith, whose ballots were not properly factored into our 2023 poll results (because i couldn't see them while the forum was down), i have worked out the updated tally with both ballots included (along with wba's late ballot posted on discord), and in the next couple of...

yes, thank you so much!

march 2024: Stranger on Horseback (Jacques Tourneur, 1955) - 9/10 Flesh and Blood (Paul Verhoeven, 1985) - 8/10 Ned Rifle (Hal Hartley, 2014) - 7/10 Reality (Tina Satter, 2023) - 7/10 Intolerance (DW Griffith, 1916) - 7/10 Buddy Buddy (Billy Wilder, 2023) - 7/10 Loophole (John Quested, 1981) - 6/10 ...

we can do 100 film ballots if people are up for that, but with really long ballots, i'll have to insist everyone format them the same way, or else tabulating will take forever if we do 1 point per film, there will be millions of ties, so i'd like to do some kind of ranking, in tiers, i'll think on h...

watched some really good films to start the month, then switched to catching up on 2023 and that was a very mixed bag Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2006) - 9/10 The Hypothesis of the Stolen Painting (Raul Ruiz, 1978) - 9/10 Four Nights of a Dreamer (Robert Bresson, 1971) - 8/10...

one of the least-viewed years for me, but a lot of what i've seen is amazing, so i'm sure i'll think 1924 a very strong year once i've seen more: Sherlock Jr (Buster Keaton) Entr'acte (Rene Clair) Au Secours! (Abel Gance) The Last Laugh (FW Murnau) The Fugitive Futurist (Gaston Quiribet) Ballet Meca...
