SCFZ poll: Jean Gremillon

[Curtis, baby]

shit, this snuck up on me! watched 2 for this to get up to 8 but i'll watch my 9th and vote for 5 today!

[brian d]

that’s a top-quality list right there.

[Curtis, baby]

i didn't get to the 9th one unfortunately so i can only vote for 4

Remorques
Pattes Blanches
The Lighthouse Keepers
The Sixth of June at Dawn

i'm sorry that this creates a tie

you can vote for 5! see the third post in the thread

i'll wait until you perhaps edit your ballot (or tell me you don't want to) to factor in your votes

[Curtis, baby]

but i've only seen 8, i'd need to see a 9th to vote for 5 right? am i missing something?

[flip]

oh that's what happens when i read too fast, i read it as 'i only got to 9', so yeah, four films only, sorry my mistake!

[flip]

so we now have a tie for first place. to break the tie, i'll use votes from everyone who has seen both films, the lighthouse keepers and stormy waters (remorques). some votes i can infer from ballots posted already:

votes for the lighthouse keepers:
twodeadmagpies
st gloede
mesnalty
brian d
rischka

votes for stormy waters:
greenui
john ryan
bure
dt

if anyone not listed above has also seen both films, then please vote for your favourite below!

[rischka]

lighthouse keepers!

[DT.]

Remorques!

[rischka]

dammit DT

[wba]

ah, forgot to vote.
Seen two Gremillons, both were wonderful and are personal favorites.

01. Guard! Alert! (1937)

Is the winner settled yet? Asking so I can update the index on lbxd.

[flip]

yes, lighthouse keepers is the winner! by the narrowest of margins - that's a good reminder for me to post the recent polls to letterboxd too.

[Umbugbene]

yes, lighthouse keepers is the winner!

Thanks! Updated now. By the way, tomorrow (1 December) will be the two-year anniversary of the start of these director polls. I'm amazed you've had the energy to keep them up so long. They've been a lot of fun for me.
