SCFZ poll: Kurt Kren

[flip]

Polling the films of director Kurt Kren

The rules:

- your list can include no more than half of the Kren films you've seen, up to a maximum of 5. So if you've seen seven of his films, for example, you can list only a top 3. It's only if you've seen ten or more of his films than you can list the maximum of five.

- i'll assume ballots are ranked unless you tell me otherwise. unranked ballots are fine.

- deadline for ballots: next Tuesday, in seven days, whatever day that is

- if anyone is watching films for these polls, then i'll extend the deadline up to three days, if someone requests an extension

- next poll: whoever posts the first ballot in this thread is free to nominate the director we poll next, unless you've nominated in this round already (everyone should get a chance). Already nominated this round: greg x, umbugbene, roscoe, bure

umbugbene created an index on letterboxd of all of our previous polls here: letterboxd.com/umbugbene/list/index-of-all-scfz-director-polls/

one rule for nominees: at least 3 scfzers need to have seen 10+ of a nominee's films, or at least 4 scfzers need to have seen at least 8 of the nom's films, so if it isn't clear if that will be the case, we'll confirm that's true before moving forward

if 24 hours pass after a poll opens, and no one eligible to nominate has posted a ballot, then i'll nominate someone, and then we'll start over, and everyone will be able to nominate again

i tallied this already, but then decided to watch ten kren films today, and probably will watch a few more before finalizing my ballot. so if you're editing an already-posted ballot, please don't edit your post above -- instead, quote it, and then post a new ballot, so i can see what you've changed. and last chance to post a new ballot!

surprise winner! j/k, no idea what people would have expected would win. it seemed redundant to list the years for each film:
