Doubling the Canon 2020 Update - Results

Posted: Sun Feb 23, 2020 11:05 am
by Angel
Welcome to our annual update.

What is this?
Begun in 2007, Doubling the Canon is a yearly project which aims to expand the Film Canon as crafted by the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? website. Originally it was a selection of 1000 movies to complement the TSPDT Top 1000, now it is a list of 1000-1250 which complements both the all time Top 1000 and the companion TSPDT Top 1000 of the 21st century.

Who can participate?
Anyone can join. Requirement for newbies: Please note that you will be requested to identify yourself, just to make sure that the poll is answered (only once) by cinephiles of good will.

Where?
In this thread.
In the ICMForum thread: https://forum.icmforum.com/viewtopic.ph ... 03#p625603
Via e-mail: doublingthecanon@hotmail.com

What is new in this update?
Any film that is newly admitted to the Doubled Canon must be subjected to a revote after 5 years, so we're going to revote the 2015 entries.

2019 update:
https://scfzforum.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=108

Phase I: Nominations for titles not on either the TSPDT lists or the Doubling list.
Deadline: March 27
Each participant can nominate a maximum of 12 films. Shorts, TV-movies, and TV mini-series are eligible. Every nominated movie goes onto the roster as a nominee. Films released in 2019-20 aren't allowed this year for our exercise.

Along with a list of the titles, please include the corresponding list of bare IMDb urls for the same films.

Please, don't edit your post! To change your ballot (undesirable) or add new titles you have to write a new reply.

Phase II: Ratings.
You're invited to rate the films you have seen (whether you have participated in the phase I or not). The nominees with the highest ratings make it into our list.
You can cast your votes anytime between now and Thursday, April 30. Only 'write-in' updates will be accepted after the deadline.
Please, sign your ballot. Example: This is Angel Glez.

Rating system:
6=All time top 600
5=All time top 601-1,200
4=All time top 1,201-1,800
3=All time top 1,801-2,400
2=It's a good movie, but not special enough to deserve placement in a 2,400-movie canon
1=It's an average movie, far from good enough to deserve placement on this list
0=I dislike this movie
Note: The cutoff was 3.91 last year. That means a 3 does not really help a film make the list.

Procedure 1: Just download the ballot (if you prefer I can send you the file) and email it back to me (doublingthecanon@hotmail.com)
DDL: https://we.tl/t-qZwrEA2V0n
Procedure 2: Online (PM me for details)

Don't remove anything, don't reorder. Untouched ballot with ratings, please.

After submitting your ballot, post a reply here to make sure I received the file. You can also add comments or statistics if you wish.

Early ballots would be appreciated. Then, if you watch new films or forgot to rate some, send me a 'write-in' ballot.

Thank you in advance for joining us in this game.

P.S.: If you know anyone adventurous enough (on or off the forum) that you think would also enjoy participating, feel free to invite them as well.

oh god. i'm so confused with what i like now compared to what i liked when i watched certain movies, that i can't imagine picking 12 out from all that mess, so not going to participate in phase 1 unless something urgent occurs to me.

i will however, after completely failing to for a few years now, vote in phase 2, so if anyone wants me to watch & vote for their movies please make available (if not already)! thanks and looking forward to it

Phase I is the spice of Doubling because there is no a right way (at least I don't know it).

angel, do you think it's worth me nominating the black cat again? how has it fared in the past? did it get close? (the list needs more ulmer and béla) but if it's a total waste of time i might as well nominate something else

also if anyone has english subs for valurile dunării i'd appreciate it (that'll teach me to miss a match in a mubi cup ten years ago)

Only two Ulmers made the DtC list at some point: The Black Cat (years ago, at the very beginning of the exercise) and The Naked Dawn.

Recent figures for The Black Cat: 3.36 in 2017, 3.37 in 2014 (cutoff=3.91). I fully agree with you, but it seems a lost cause. In fact it was a nomination of mine in 2014.

This is exciting! Always liked this list and now I get a chance to plug my underappreciated favs (though few of these are really that underappreciated, surprised many of them aren't on the list already).
So the rule is just - 12 films that are not on (a) TSPDT's top 1000; (b) TSPDT's top of the 21st century; (c) in the canon already, right?

If I'm wrong please tell me.

Re: Doubling the Canon 2020 Update - Phase II: Ratings

i've started rating films for this. two observations about the process this year:

- having director names in the spreadsheet is extremely useful, some films i know immediately i haven't seen because the director is unfamiliar

- not having english titles in the spreadsheet is making the process inordinately time-consuming. in past years the title was always listed in english and its original language, if i remember correctly. but now, seeing, say, a shimizu film in the list, i have no idea if i've seen it or not without looking the film up on another website. unless a voter speaks japanese or swedish or persian, i have to think that voter would prefer to see a title in english, so they might recognize the film immediately.

having already rated the films, i'd agree with flip, especially on the second point. i was having to copy-past the imdb links to see the name of the film, then check in letterboxd to see if i'd seen some of them and to refresh my memory to how much i liked them. it was a lot of back and forth that made it a bit frustrating. but yes, the director names was extremely helpful.

that's exactly what i'm doing right now! (edit - replying to brian d) i opened the spreadsheet in google docs thinking the urls would be links that i could just click and i could do everything within my browser, but that's not the case, i have to copy/paste, and i haven't rated everything on imdb so after visiting a film there i'm often going to letterboxd too.
