My bad, I've been busy and not been keeping an eye on the cup - link up in resources.

If you/the board on the whole don't rate a film, is it still worth putting it on the top 10 just so we have a full list? I always interpreted these top 10s as recommendations/endorsements. Don't get me wrong, I love round numbers as well, just wondering what your take on that is.

Yeah, my movie-watching fell off a cliff when things started re-opening here, apologies. Anyone who wants to add a ballot or a film is welcome to do so this week, will close and put up a new poll on Monday. Now, who shall it be?

Kamome shokudô (2006, Naoko Ogigami) My favorite discovery this year! There are good movies, bad movies and therapeutic movies (you start with a headache and leave feeling good). The latter are beyond valuation. Congratulations to MrCarmady. :dance: :drinking: delighted, good bounce-back from its d...

lost in translation was not quite as magical as when i put it on at 2am in that glorious phase between sleep and wakefulness a few years ago, but it's still fun, moving, and refreshingly mood- rather than plot-driven for a hollywood film. that soundtrack! scarjo! murray!

Even though I've been gazumped to the actual nomination, delighted for Babylon, what a film. And a good launchpad for Central Park, hope more people see it by next year and get it over the line then.

there's a trick my grand-dad taught me which is slightly useful here: any number ending in 5 squared = [the numbers preceding the 5]*[itself+1] and then 25 at the end e.g. 25^2 - 2*3 = 625 105^2 -10*11 = 11025 so 125^2 - 12*13 = 15625 which makes 123^2 = 15625 + 4 - 500 {(2*125*2)} = 15129 15129 - 1...

Think that was the last movie I saw at the cinema before they shut for 5 months again. I found it less hard/sad than Pigeon, personally, seemed pretty consistent with You, the Living. I'm a huge fan of his but never see him mentioned on the forums, wonder if we could scramble a poll together despite...

Aw man I love that one. At least we know now!

Finch for Network and Ledger for The Dark Knight? There's probably more that I can't think of.

Coincidentally, I re-watched Barcelona yesterday and was blown away by how it melds the hilarious and the poignant, with the central relationship between cousins allowing Stillman to explore friendship, familial ties tinged with childhood resentment, ideological and romantic battles, pranks, the set...

amazing, his take on la dolce vita is akin to people throwing great gatsby parties
i love the film but if you come out of it wishing you were more like marcello, leaving aside his handsomeness, you need some therapy

Vitti!

again, i feel like the eyes should give it away pretty quickly but let's move things along, shall we?

Could've sworn I'd seen more but I'll throw a vote to 1/2 and try to watch a few more.

Dimensions of Dialogue

Must be Sandra Hüller then. Funny how that association came to mind.

It's not Maren Ade, is it?

i cut my own hair for the first time a few weeks back and it looks okay but i think i'll leave the job to professionals in the future.

Correct!

Uncanny resemblance. This person is not Francophone. I would post the eyes but I feel like they would give it away almost immediately.
