Doubling the Canon 2025 Update - Ratings

Post by Angel »

Welcome to our annual update.

What is this?
Begun in 2007, Doubling the Canon is a yearly project which aims to expand the Film Canon as crafted by the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? website.

Who can participate?
Anyone can join in.
Requirement for newbies: Please note that you will be requested to identify yourself, just to make sure that the poll is answered (only once) by cinephiles of good will.

Where?
In this thread.
In the ICMForum
Via e-mail: doublingthecanon@hotmail.com

What is new in this update?
Any film that is newly admitted to the Doubled Canon must be subjected to a revote after 5 years so we're going to revote the 2020 entries.

2024 update:
https://forum.icmforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=6870

Phase I: Nominations for titles not on either TSPDT lists (2500 Greatest Films + 21st Century top 1000) or the Doubling list.
Deadline: Monday, March 31.
Each participant can nominate a maximum of 12 films. Shorts, TV-movies, and TV mini-series are eligible. Every nominated movie goes onto the roster as a nominee. Films released in 2024-25 aren't allowed this year for our exercise.
sol, jdidaco and zzzorf get respectively 3, 2 and 1 extra nominations.
Along with a list of the titles, please include the corresponding list of bare IMDb urls for the same films.
Please, don't edit your post! To change your ballot or add new titles you have to write a new reply.

Ongoing list of nominated films: See the post below.

Phase II: Ratings.
You're invited to rate the films you have seen (whether you have participated in the phase I or not). The nominees with the highest ratings make it into our list.
You can cast your votes anytime between now and Wednesday, April 30. Only 'write-in' updates will be accepted after the deadline.
Don't forget to sign your ballot. Example: This is Angel Glez.

Rating system: 0-6 (3.60-3.87 was the cutoff last year)

Procedure 1: Just download the ballot (if you prefer I can send you the file) and email it back to doublingthecanon@hotmail.com
Procedure 2: Online (PM me for details)

:imdb: :ICM: :lboxd: (see post below)

Don't remove anything, don't reorder. Untouched ballot with ratings, please.

After submitting your ballot, post a reply here to make sure I received the file. You can also add comments or statistics if you wish.

Early ballots would be appreciated. Then, if you watch new films or forgot to rate some, send me a 'write-in' ballot.


Thank you in advance for joining us in this game.

P.S.: If you know anyone adventurous enough (on or off the forum) that you think would also enjoy participating, feel free to invite them as well.

Fair enough. I was a little surprised that one of Ray's best films didn't make it onto any of those lists. So how about a Jean Renoir?

Le Tournoi (Jean Renoir, 1928)

There has always been a (exportable) IMDB list because the final ballot comes from there. Additonally, some doublers work with iCheckMovies or Letterboxd lists, but I don't usually keep them up to date. :P
