1. Ordet

Only seen 3, but gotta give some love to Ordet: one of my all-time favs, probably the best movie ever made about religion that I'm aware of. :) I probably love Passion of Joan of Arc too but I haven't seen it many years (and don't have the voting space for it anyway)

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.

this was a close one, without wba's ballot there would have been a tie for 1st. and it seems fair to say that any winner other than the passion of joan of arc would be a bit of a surprise, so... we have a surprise winner! and a surprise in 2nd place too i guess.

only two of dreyer's feature length films didn't get a vote - his first film, the president (1919) and two people (1945), which he later disowned (but i thought it was a good film even if dreyer didn't).

results

1. Day of Wrath (1943) -- 38 pts
2. Ordet (1955) -- 37 pts
3. The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) -- 34 pts
4. Vampyr (1932) -- 29 pts
5. Gertrud (1963) -- 25 pts
6. The Parson's Widow (1920) -- 12 pts
7. They Caught the Ferry (1948) -- 7 pts
8. The Bride of Glomdal (1926) -- 6 pts
9. Master of the House (1925) -- 4 pts
9. Love One Another (1922) -- 4 pts
11. Leaves From the Book of Satan (1921) -- 3 pts
12. Once Upon a Time (1922) -- 2 pts
13. Michael (1924) -- 1 pt

Nice. I has a tough time deciding between the top two and left off Joan, so I'm pretty happy with the result.

Don't like Joan, so it's ok with me.

Huh, I'm pleasantly surprised They Caught the Ferry got 3 votes & 7 points. Such a witty little film... recognizably Dreyer but not at all what you'd expect from him.
