Jeanne Dielman in first?? Wow! Was not expecting that—such a huge jump, from 38 to 1st—though in retrospect, not a surprise, since it's sorta the canonical new-NotYourGrandfather'sCanon-canonical pick. I'd prefer Vertigo or Kane, myself, but then that's no surprise :lol: This list made me feel old e...

Right, sorry. December year poll will be ... 1937

Van Heflin is the best.

Thanks for these recs, Sally! Didn't know about either Castles for Two or A Bid for Fortune and they both look well up my alley

Just 1917. From what I can infer, y'all devoted 3 weeks solely to '17 last time, so devoting a month to it in this iteration would be standard practice. I appreciate that not every one finds these films interesting, and if there's enough pushback, I'll change. But you'll have to make a case that peo...

RESULTS Ballots: 5 Films voted for: 47 Wish I'd remembered to participate in this one, my apologies about that. Oh well, some interesting results, thanks to those who voted! A good year to be Georges Méliès or W.K.L. Dickson. 1. Tentation de Saint Antoine (Georges Méliès) / 13 2. La Lune à un mètre...

D'oh! Totally forgot about this poll, sorry about that. Will tally tonight after work.

The Vampire Lovers (Roy Ward Baker, 1970) No screenshots because VLC is being troublesome, but heavens to Betsy. Never thought in a million years I could love a movie released in a post-60s decades this much. (I mean, it's 1970, but still.) Bava-style Gothic horror as perfect lesbian heartache. Jus...

Oh my pleasure—they're the best!

Results Ballots: 17. Films: 178. I thought Monteiro was going to win, but Haynes just beat him out. 1. Safe (Todd Haynes) / 27 2. A Comédia de Deus (João César Monteiro) / 26.5 3. Maborosi (Hirokazu Kore-eda) / 23.5 4. The Bridges of Madison County (Clint Eastwood) / 19.5 — La Ceremonie (Claude Cha...

Because it'll be October, I thought it would be fun to do a good year for horror—so, how about ... 1960?

1995 poll will be tallied this weekend. I'm sorry it's taking so long, I started teaching duties in early September and I've been working morning, noon, and night.

Gassman is too delicious in that one, my word. Most sexually agreeable movie of 1948, hands down.

I haven't seen the movie, only clips, but based on the clips, I'd expect Jarman's Wittgenstein would qualify.

Narren-Grappen (1908) If memory serves, this is the first movie I've watched for a CoMo. Unfortunately, I've realized it's unclear if it's actually Dutch, since it could be a movie from a different European national cinema that only survives in Dutch intertitles. Anyway, it's lesbian! Who cares? ht...

Bedankt !

Is From the Labour of Baruch d’Espinoza available to view somewhere?

Yup, that would be much appreciated

A post-1960 Japanese director in the top 250 already happened: Miyazaki made the top 250 last time with Spirited Away and with My Neighbour Totoro. Also, Kiarostami's Close-Up made the top 50 last time, so I think he should do fine again this time. All that said, I strongly agree with you specifical...

I expect Naruse might be able to break the top 250 now, since one of the most notable features of the past ten years is that Naruse has become far more commercially available (or 'other means' available) in English translation. Ukigumo was #257 last time, and I hope it cracks the top 250. (Of course...

September 2022 year poll will be ... 1898 and 2010.

A fun idea! We could create a list of them all at the end. A ranked list wouldn't mean much with such few ballots, but a collated list of all our favs would be neat. Here's mine, as it struck me this morning with my coffee: 1. Le départ d'Arlequin et de Pierrette (Alice Guy, 1900) 2. Die Austernprin...

Yup, it's gone on my end!
