and maybe the most remarkable thing about this whole poll, something i just noticed - 1337 different films received at least one vote, and citizen kane was not one of them. zero votes for citizen kane.
i made a separate thread where i list all 1337 films that got votes in our poll - that's here if anyone is interested:

31. The Lighthouse Keepers (Jean Gremillon, 1929)
42. The Masseurs and a Woman (Hiroshi Shimizu, 1938)
these two made me inordinately happy
i don't remember whether they made past lists or not, but i don't recall seeing them. i also like how our top rated monteiro film is the last dive, which didn't make the top spanish/portuguese films top 100 while others of his did. we're a weird, inconsistent bunch with (mostly) really good taste i guess.

Thanks for all your hard work tallying, flip!
The Parajanov is the only one I haven't seen from the top 10, need to get on that. Also feel like a re-watch of Celine and Julie is overdue...
Gonna put the top 250 on ICM in a bit.

Pestonjee at 30, interesting. Also, I thought I saw a lot of the zeki here and there, but perhaps no one picked the same film from him.
zulawski - i think zeki only got a couple of votes this year - his films have fared better in previous polls.
mrcarmady - i'll be posting the list to letterboxd today, but feel free to post to icm if you want to!

lol i'm done
the apartment at number four is the really weird one!
yeah, the apartment didn't even make the top 100 our first four years, was #22 last year, and #4 this year. also perhaps interesting, it's one of only two billy wilder films to even get a vote (sunset boulevard the other). some like it hot is #1 on the afi's 100 best comedies list, and it didn't get a vote - in fact only one of the top ten films on that list got any support at all in our poll (annie hall).
perhaps also surprising, given its ranking on the sight+sound list: breathless didn't get a single vote, even though godard got a lot of votes overall
one other thing that surprised me was how well fellini fared in our poll. i would have said, prior to this poll, that scfzers generally like bunuel and don't care much for fellini, but fellini has three films in the top 250 and one in the top ten, while bunuel only has one top 250 film, and a low-ranked one at that.
