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 award at most 6 points, so all of those films had 2+ votes), and the films from 300-400 all had 6 points, which means a lot of them got one first-tier vote only. i haven't decided how long a list to post to letterboxd, happy to hear opinions, but we've posted a top 250 in the past, so i thought to do something longer for our tenth anniversary, which is why i ranked a full top 400.

I barely made a dent in the overall results but I'm very happy with the top film and the fact that I can say I've seen half of the 400 that made the list!

Parallelstrasse and Celine and Julie are both in my 100-200 and had to resist the urge to not tactically vote them hehe. So nice to reminisce on Marienbad this morning, I remember sitting in the cinema as a student back in 1999, watching Marienbad thinking, "I'm hooked, this is something I'll be doing for the rest of my life", also have marvellous memories of seeing Le Mepris with my two brothers in the early 00s, perhaps the only thing we ever have done together was to go see that movie. Jack Palance with his little book, Bardot apricating, Lang pontificating, it's movie heaven.

It is just very nice to see so few movies with animal abuse in the results. There is nothing that shakes my faith in art as much as when an artist says, "Look how profound I am, I have killed a flock of sheep as a metaphor."

I bear a large responsibility for the placing so high of Mr Thank You, a piece of humanity, mysticism and good humour. The only other Shimizu I saw was the Ornamental Hairpin, where I could just not get used to the idea that the best way to heal a puncture wound on the foot was to keep on aggravating it. Sorry for this mental block, do we have any medics here to opine on that?

Soundtrack to reading the results, Beethoven's Diabelli variations.

Among these 400, I am curious to know the ones with the fewest votes at Letterboxd or IMDB.

i'm curious about that too -- when i make the letterboxd list (probably today), i think i can rank it by views, and report the results here,

Wonderful to see the results!

And finally a poll that lists Le bonheur as Varda's best. Loved seeing that.

Really exciting results in general, though I have to admit I'm not a huge Tati fan. Having Die Parallelstrasse is the top 5 makes me love the list regardless though.

Feels like I had a decent degree of impact here, with Jane B. par Agnes V. even crashing the top 400. Was I the only voter?

Are you adding it to ICM and Letterboxd?

so, all the films from 300-400 got six points, which means they either got one first-tier vote (on a ranked ballot), or they got two votes that added up to six points (in theory a film could get three 2-point bottom-tier votes, but i'm fairly sure that didn't happen). so if you put jane b in your top tier, then yes, you were the only vote.

i sort of like making a list like this that does feature a few absolute favourites of just one member, it kind of captures the personality (and the eclectic tastes) of this place. the one thing i wish was different, if i list a full top 400 -- anyone who made a ranked ballot will see a lot of their favourites on the final list, but people who made unranked ballots, and who have unique preferences (that didn't overlap much with other ballots) won't see many of their films on the list.

if someone made an unranked ballot, they awarded 4 points per film. if i wanted to get all the 4-point films onto the final list, i'd need to make a top 1230, roughly -- a somewhat incredible 631 different films got exactly 4 points in this poll, so there is a 631-way tie for 610th place. :)

yes and no, i think i'll be able to make a letterboxd list today. i don't think i'm able to make an ICM list (i've already made one, and i think that's the limit unless you pay them or something like that?), so if anyone else wanted to make an ICM list, that would be fine with me!

Awesome.

Re: ICM - They changed that, luckily. Free users can create multiple (possibly unlimited?) lists now.

I was the only one then. Still happy, and agreed, makes it more interesting, dynamic and highlights individual tastes on the forum.
