SCFZ poll: Carl Theodor Dreyer

[flip]

Polling the films of director Carl Theodor Dreyer

The rules:

- your list can include no more than half of the Dreyer 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 Friday, 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, silga, dt, umbugbene

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

I've seen nine, but have had a copy of Gertrud sitting around for a while, so hopefully I can make it ten before the poll closes. Until then,

I'll choose -- let me see.... Cecil B. De Mille? Or would that turn too many stomachs? Have we done von Sternberg?

[...]

Heh, De Mille would be nifty. I've got more than 10, but von S would be fine too I guess, just not quite as fun.

[Curtis, baby]

We've done von Sternberg

only 3 DeMille pour moi

I have 18 DeMille

[Senor Arkadin]

I tried to watch Gertrud for this... but the new Criterion Channel has some sort of DRM bug that won't allow you to play any films if you have a linux based machine. I hope to get it sorted before the poll ends though.

[Zulawski]

The Passion of Joan of Arc
Gertrud

[Roscoe]

So let's say De Mille, if there's enough interest, or if not, William Friedkin.

[flip]

we have the views to do a Cecil Blount DeMille poll, so let's go ahead with that, we'll get to everyone eventually
