i do my best with the images but i have no idea why some are smaller than others :( i'll post the top 400 films below. as in every poll, i break ties (and there were a lot of ties) using letterboxd views (less seen films rank higher). in the poll, 299 films got 7 points or more (a single vote could ...

the results are in! first the top 10...

i've factored in all the small changes to ballots, and i finished breaking all the ties for the top films, so the poll is officially closed, and i'm just about ready to post the results -- unless something comes up, i'll post them tomorrow!

Jean-Luc Godard was next (as st gloede guessed) with 11 different films, followed by Luis Bunuel, with 10. i just realized that both bunuel and naruse got votes for the same film under two different names (i forgot that los olvidados was sometimes called the young and the damned, and never knew tha...

i haven't seen that either... on your ballot. i don't think you voted for it.

happy to add a vote for transit if you let me know what to take out!

it seems there were 9 people on the jury that year, plus coppola. i have a very distant recollection that the jury president doesn't get a vote (though they may have a lot of say in how others vote, in some years), so this is my speculation: roughly half the jury loved the film, and half hated it, a...

you are right... but have not named the right film.

i know the results, so i'll make one change that won't affect the top 100:

remove: Tuvalu (Veit Helmer, 1999)
add: Bitter Rice (Giuseppe de Santis, 1949)

Oh man I love the Mekas, forgot to vote for it. Wonder if that cost it a top 10 spot... since you and rischka have both expressed some regret about what you voted for, i can allow everyone to make one change to their ballot -- everyone can add one film (to their bottom tier, if the ballot was ranke...

they've actually given out a special jury prize many times, though i think the last time was in 1996 (to crash by david cronenberg)

some more data -- i counted the number of different films that got votes from each decade: 1890s: 1 film 1900s: 7 films 1910s: 30 films 1920s: 78 films 1930s: 112 films 1940s: 130 films 1950s: 177 films 1960s: 237 films 1970s: 231 films 1980s: 191 films 1990s: 169 films 2000s: 126 films 2010s: 99 fi...

i tallied the results of the prediction contest, and it was very close, but i think i won! i didn't give any points for picking the seed of the sacred fig (which won a special jury prize). if i counted that as if it were a jury prize, then wba and i would be tied for first. flip: 9 points wba: 8 poi...

and based on the reviews/ratings, these are the awards i imagine each source would give, arbitrarily giving the jury prize to the 3rd ranked film, and best director to the 4th ranked. the guardian somewhat absurdly gave 4-star reviews to ten films (and 5-stars to another), so i used their award pred...

there doesn't appear to be much consensus about the best and worst films of the festival, but the two films that screened on the very last day end up being the top and bottom films on the screen daily jury grid. here are the best and worst from each source: The Guardian best film: All We Imagine As ...
