welcome, MilTorres! i looked at your top four films on letterboxd, and Edvard Munch is a particular favourite at SCFZ, it finished as high as 4th place in one of our favourite films of all time polls, and has been in the top 20 almost every time we've done a poll like that (it was 19th in our latest...

i haven't seen, for example, 3/4 of the films in greennui's list, so i have a ton to see, and still i'm having trouble paring my list down to 20 titles 21-87 (Arthur Lipsett) Nightmare in Chicago (Robert Altman) Woman of the Dunes (Hiroshi Teshigahara) 36 Hours (George Seaton) Charulata (Satyajit Ra...

start of the month i watched several 2025 films, most years i do that and everything i see is absolutely horrible but this year there were a few decent-to-good watches along with some dreck, so a promising start to the year... mid-month watched random stuff... end of the month, i watched a run of ol...

i had a bit of a hard time working out was eligible, so i probably messed this up: Sanam (Rafi Pitts, 2000) Busting (Peter Hyams, 1974) Nayakan (Mani Ratnam, 1987) Le Tempestaire (Jean Epstein, 1947) Ramblers (Nobuhiro Yamashita, 2003) Souls at Sea (Henry Hathaway, 1937) Little Big Horn (Charles Mar...

yes, i knew there were other lists, but i've rated everything i've seen on letterboxd and not on imdb, so this letterboxd list is great for me!

has there been a letterboxd list like that every year, or is it new? it's going to be amazingly useful when voting, i'll be able to find all the films i've seen lightning fast now!

if you're looking for new wave-influenced french canadian film, you might also check out jean-pierre lefebvre's work canada has an interesting tradition of avant garde film, from the abstract animations of norman mclaren through to michael snow and guy maddin. arthur lipsett's films are great too, i...

welcome to the forum, aimo!

this won't be an important feature of movies for some people, but one thing film can achieve is a certain intensification of a particular emotion, just as a chef might be trying to create the most intense beetroot flavour in a puree or whatever. film can provide an experience more intense than the q...

also i've been following charlixcx

so one of charlixcx's favourite films is by rivette, and she just added a bresson film to her watchlist? i can respect that...

and i updated the letterboxd list, which is now here:

https://letterboxd.com/fliptrotsky/list ... scfz-poll/

ok, here is the final top 100, it should include either 3 or 4 films from each extra ballot (Mad Max: Furiosa was #101 by the views tiebreaker) 1. Souleymane’s Story (Boris Lojkine) 2. All We Imagine as Light (Payal Kapadia) 3. The Human Surge 3 (Eduardo Williams) 4. Chime (Kiyoshi Kurosawa) 5. The ...

in about 3 hours, i'll compile the newest ballots and add them to the end of the top 100, still time to submit if anyone wants to! and if you didn't participate in the initial balloting, you can still submit a list of films for the 82-100 range

thanks st gloede! a couple of those made our final list, so i'll make your extra ballot into: Fekete pont / Lesson Learned (2024, Bálint Szimler) My First Film (2024, Zia Anger) Deda-Shvili an rame ar aris arasodes bolomde bneli / Mother and Daughter or The Night Is Never Complete (2024, Lana Gogobe...

i think i'll wait until the end of tomorrow for bonus ballots, so people have about 30 hours to post if they want to

Did you include my runner ups? Happy to extend it as well, such an amazing year. i was planning to, if you didn't post here -- from your runners-up, only two films didn't make the top 81 so far, so at the moment, your bonus ballot would look like this: On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (2024, Rungano Nyoni...

thanks silga!

list is up on letterboxd:

https://letterboxd.com/fliptrotsky/list ... scfz-poll/

yes, let's try to get to a top 100, if anyone saw other 2024 films that did not make our list, but which are worthwhile, just post a list, ranked, of any length, in this thread, and i'll pick the #1 from each list first, then the #2 from each, etc, and break ties by letterboxd views, until we fill o...

perhaps a surprise #1: FINAL RESULTS 1. Souleymane’s Story (Boris Lojkine) 2. All We Imagine as Light (Payal Kapadia) 3. The Human Surge 3 (Eduardo Williams) 4. Chime (Kiyoshi Kurosawa) 5. The Beast (Bertrand Bonello) 6. Juror #2 (Clint Eastwood) 7. Nickel Boys (RaMell Ross) 8. No Other Land (Basel ...

results in a minute, first a few notes: • this may be our least conventional end-of-year list, in most past years, one or two best picture nominees figure in the top five, and a lot of very widely seen films finish high in the rankings. this year, only four out of ten best pic nominees even got a vo...

... and SCFZ's selection for Best Picture is... Nickel Boys (RaMell Ross) — 11 pts __________________________________________ the complete breakdown of the points in the spoiler: Best Picture Nickel Boys (RaMell Ross) — 11 pts Anora (Sean Baker) — 10 pts The Brutalist (Brady Corbet) — 9 pts Conclave...

and here are SCFZ's selections for the 97th Academy Awards! the biggest winners were The Brutalist (6 wins) and Anora (3 wins) Best Director : Brady Corbet, The Brutalist — 8 pts Best Actor : Adrien Brody, The Brutalist — 8 pts Best Actress : Mikey Madison, Anora — 6 pts Best Supporting Actor : Yura...

i'll tally this poll as soon as i finish with the oscars poll, so unless someone needs another hour or two, i'll shut this down in about 15 minutes

hopefully next year, silga!

i'm going to tally this poll right now, so it is closed to new ballots and edits...

it used to be that Nostos: Il Ritorno was a 1990 film on imdb, but it isn't now, so i won't vote for it... i clearly need to watch a few things from other lists, because i haven't seen a lot of great films from this year yet Passion (Jurgen Reble) Freeze, Die, Come to Life (Vitali Kanevski) Life is ...

exclusively watched 2024 films this month: The Human Surge 3 (Eduardo Williams, 2024) -10/10 Nickel Boys (RaMell Ross, 2024) - 8/10 I Saw the TV Glow (Jane Schoenbrun, 2024) - 7/10 Santosh (Sandhrya Suri, 2024) - 7/10 All We Imagine as Light (Payal Kapadia, 2024) - 7/10 The Seed of the Sacred Fig (M...

there is still time to submit or edit a ballot! i am extending the deadline until tomorrow afternoon, around 2pm or 3pm ET

there is still time to submit or edit a ballot! i am extending the deadline until tomorrow afternoon, around 2pm or 3pm ET

just a reminder that this poll is closing very soon! would be great to see more ballots -- and if anyone needs to update their ballot, now is the time

just a reminder that this poll is closing soon!

and while it feels like a very weak year to me (with two best picture nominees to watch), nickel boys is genuinely good imo
