I've already posted my nominations over on ICM Forum, but I'll add them here as well. 01.

Just saw this; I have to support a big fave from Viktor Eysymont that I managed to get into DtC a few years ago, 'Zhila-byla devochka'. 4 tiers: Meet Me in St. Louis Henry V The Curse of the Cat People Zhila-byla devochka Besættelse Double Indemnity Jammin' the Blues Die Frau meiner Träume A Canterb...

Nice noms, rischka.

I really like the Bernard, but that's the only one I've seen so far out of your picks.

Hi Jake! I followed your LB.

I just realised I listed the former under its French title. Apologies about that! Hope it didn't throw anything off. no, that's cool, but i appreciate the concern! french titles are almost never a problem, because i speak french. i usually list a film under the title i think is most commonly used (...

The Moguy and Ubukeyev are wonderful entries indeed.

I just realised I listed the former under its French title. Apologies about that! Hope it didn't throw anything off.

A beautiful list of 400; the sort of list that deserves to be savoured and lead to exploration.

I love that ranked lists led to top-tier one-vote films making the cut.

Thank you, flip!

Lubitsch would seem to be a good shout for one of the 10+ directors.

Bergman and Hitchcock the other two, perhaps? Hitch may not be THAT popular here though...

I've been meaning to see 'Katharina, die Letzte' for years. 6, 6, and 5 are super scores, so it has great potential. Looking forward to it!

The 'é' in José is different to how I formatted it. Just flagging that, so that it is known.

Fixed.

Nice; we want every vote to count for that one!

There are also several names in Gloede's list that may be problematic for presentational uniformity.

5 tiers of 20; thank you for hosting what must be a pretty taxing poll, flip! A Year of the Quiet Sun (Krzysztof Zanussi, 1984) The Magnificent Ambersons (1942, Orson Welles) Homecoming (Joe May, 1928) The Sea Inside (Alejandro Amenabar, 2004) Blessings of the Land (Manuel Silos, 1959) The Unfaithfu...

I got around to paring my list down to a century of titles. Just need to type them out now, and decide on how to tier them.

I thought I'd just leave the IMDb list here for now.

Thank you for the extension, flip.

I am planning to put together a list of faves, but there are challenges and DtC all closing at around the same time over on ICMForum. The extension eases things a bit.

Hi greenui! Not a year I've really explored and the war certainly seems to have made it rather a UK and American-centric year, going by what I've seen/rated. 4 tiers: Tier 1: The Lost Weekend (Wilder) Brief Encounter (Lean) Dead of Night (Cavalcanti, Crichton, Dearden, Hamer) I Know Where I'm Going!...

A belated thank you, therouxxx!

The SCFZ cohort seems to have noticeably dwindled this year. Sadly missed! The eclecticism of their submissions was welcome and often revelatory. Seconded. Keep up the fight, aggrieved minority ! :P And thanks for your contribution! Not quite Sponsored by Torgo level, but glad to add to the thread'...

The Metzger will get full support from me and I'll dive into the Damiano for the DtC challenge over on ICM Forum.

I should try to post on here more often! If you'll have me, here are 20 I hold dear. please do roger! (and if you're so minded, post your ballot early so it gives the rest of us some interesting suggestions to hunt down before the poll is over :)) Cheers Sal.

Hi sally. I have tended to nominate films I have discovered over the preceding 12 months - new faves, if you will. I don't speak Russian, unfortunately. Just English and French, middling Irish, and a bit of German. I rely on the auto-translated subs, and read synopses on the Russian websites (KinoTe...

Hi Karl (sorry, quote doesn't work).

Yes, Angel is right in what he says. I wouldn't be too hopeful of subs showing up online for these. From what I recall, the auto-translated subs on YT are acceptable for the Motyl and the Derbenyov.

I posted my picks over on ICMForum, but I'll put them over here as well. Deti Pamira / The Children of Pamir (1963, Vladimir Motyl) Marš, marš, tra-ta-ta / March, march! Tra-ta-ta! (1964, Raimondas Vabalas) Puteshestviye v aprel / Travel in April (1964, Vadim Derbenyov) Romeo, moy sosed / Romeo, My ...

Some short docs perhaps, Sal?

Everybody is valuable!

Hi there flip. Assuming this is still open...

I've seen 5. Three of them don't stand out in my memory, but I liked these two:

1. 'THE PETRIFIED FOREST' - 8/10
2. 'ILLICIT' - 6.5 OR 7/10

I like them both but I'll go with 'Night Moves'.
