SCFZ poll: Don Siegel
SCFZ poll: Don Siegel
Polling the films of director Don Siegel
The rules:
- your list can include no more than half of the Siegel films you've seen, up to a maximum of 5. So if you've seen seven of his films, for example, you can list only a top 3. It's only if you've seen ten or more of his films than you can list the maximum of five.
- i'll assume ballots are ranked unless you tell me otherwise. unranked ballots are fine.
- deadline for ballots: next Tuesday, in seven days, whatever day that is
- if anyone is watching films for these polls, then i'll extend the deadline three days, if someone requests an extension
- next poll: whoever posts the first ballot in this thread is free to nominate the director we poll next, unless you've nominated in this round already (everyone should get a chance). Already nominated this round: brian d, greennui, ofrene, kanafani, bure, greg x, oscarwerner
umbugbene created an index on letterboxd of all of our previous polls here: letterboxd.com/umbugbene/list/index-of-all-scfz-director-polls/
one rule for nominees: at least 3 scfzers need to have seen 10+ of a nominee's films, or at least 4 scfzers need to have seen at least 8 of the nom's films, so if it isn't clear if that will be the case, we'll confirm that's true before moving forward
if 24 hours pass after a poll opens, and no one eligible to nominate has posted a ballot, then i'll nominate someone, and then we'll start over, and everyone will be able to nominate again

my list includes an original that was famously remade, a remake of a famous original, the beginning of an iconic franchise, and, as the homie thoxans put it, "a poor man's liberty valance directed by sam peckinpah's less talented brother"

kubrick it is! one of the biggest names we haven't done yet, though coppola and altman also remain unpolled (and surely others).

To please the majority is the requirement of the Planet Cinema. As far as I'm concerned, I don't make a concession to viewers, these victims of life, who think that a film is made only for their enjoyment, and who know nothing about their own existence.

Re: SCFZ poll: Don Siegel
Hell is for Heroes beating out Dirty Harry is a win I'l happily take. Gotta love a movie that sets aside time to give Bob Newhart a chance to do one of his phone routines in the middle of a war.
