[thoxans]

i'll watch this

and i did! and it was good! kinda wish they'd followed through on the circular aspect ratio the entire time (except for that last shot, maybe), but it was still a consistently stunning, often very funny (literally lol'ed multiple times) melodramatic dark comedy commentary on stifling bureaucracy (esp toward women). will def make my final list

[Angel]

The Girl from Nowhere (Jean-Claude Brisseau, 2012)

Ahem, isn't Brisseau blacklisted?

[sally]

The Girl from Nowhere (Jean-Claude Brisseau, 2012)

Ahem, isn't Brisseau blacklisted?

what do you mean? OH NO, my goodness! him too???? where will all this PC madness end?

actually, i just discovered that he died this year, so thanks for that.

[wba]

I also wanted to point out once more (cause I've been reading all the lists in this thread again) what flip wrote in the initial post of this thread:

"please (please!) use English titles *only* (I don't also want another title) when the English title is in common use in English-speaking film circles. Use foreign-language titles only for films which normally go by those foreign-language titles when discussed in English."

many of you listed some Zeki in your lists, but while some listed a film as "Nausea", others listed it as "Bulanti"...
Stuff like this could be extra hard work for flip when counting the poll results, or some points for some films might thus be 'forgotten' in the final count, etc.

Ralch, to go in the five-film top tier a film must have less than 2500 views on letterboxd

[Lencho of the Apes]

It's not a "top tier" so much as an "overlooked things that I think were brilliant enough that they deserve far more attention" set.

[ralch]

Ralch, to go in the five-film top tier a film must have less than 2500 views on letterboxd

Sorry. Edited now.

[rischka]

ralch lives to break the rules

[flip]

thanks for the ballots!

in general, i won't look up every film in that small top tier to confirm it has <2500 views, but if a film (like the kiarostami say, or a pt anderson film) seems very unlikely to be that unseen, i'll check. and if it has 2500+ views, i'll just demote the film one tier and award it 5 points instead of 6, so no big deal. i might also promote a film from the 5-point tier to the 6-point tier as a replacement if there's a relative obscurity in the 5-point tier (i'll pick the one listed first) but i might not do that depending on how long the tallying takes and how bored i get.

[augusto]

Like Someone in Love (Abbas Kiarostami, 2012)

i didn't look up any other films (on anyone's ballot) but this kiarostami film has too many views to go in the five-film top tier (a film must have < 2500 views on letterboxd, and that kiarostami has 10k views). lots of great films later on your ballot that don't have 2500+ views, so it should be easy to fix!

ok i should've read the op, because i interpreted the "six pointers" differently; it was more five films from the decade that meant the most to me. would've made less sense (to me) minus the kiarostami, and also phoenix, which it turns out has more than 2.5k views too, so for the purposes of the poll, i've removed that tier and added those five titles to the main list. there are many others on the list with very few views, but none i want to highlight any more than the others.

[sally]

if i could give more points to phoenix, i would too! my top film of the decade by a looooong way.

Magic tier

The Second Night (2016, Eric Pauwels)
Knight of Cups (2015, Terrence Malick)
A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (2014, Roy Andersson)

Again, hate to be the party pooper, but only The Second Night qualifies for this special tier according to the rules - to go in the five-film tier a film must have less than 2500 views on letterboxd.

As Lencho says - "overlooked things that you think were brilliant enough that they deserve far more attention" kind of tier. Which is a great idea btw, Flip! I have already discovered some interesting titles thanks to the already posted ballots.

Thanks.

How do you see the view count on Letterboxd? I have been searching the film pages and must be blind.

I can see fans and friend activity but not the overall view count.

if you look at the number next to the small lime green eyeball under the film poster on the left, on a film's page, that's the view count from letterboxd members

Where is this green eyeball?

Maybe it is not available on mobile? I'm on vacation and only have my tablet.
