btw approp of nothing a ton of great Indian films added to Netflix in the last few days - katha, rajnigandha, trikal, mandi, bazaar, swami, and lots of prine hrishikesh mukherjee. most in better quality than on kg.

I’m waaaay behind, pathetically so for the second half of the decade. Still… . Approximately ranked (10/20/20 for this ballot).

dt and john ryan got 5 questions (out of 8) right in the trivia quiz, wba got... zero

the answers (i can't seem to get spoiler tags to work, so i wrote them in white text, highlight or quote this post to see them) :


1. Joker (Ruju Murugan, 2016)
2. Leviathan (Lucien Castaing-Taylor/Verena Paravel, 2012)
3. Argo (Ben Affleck) and The Shape of Water (Guillermo del Toro)
4. I, Daniel Blake (Ken Loach) and Dheepan (Jacques Audiard)
5. 2016: Toni Erdmann and 2018: The Favourite

thanks thoxans and hydrangea, i have now factored your ballots into the running tally. so i have everything tabulated now, but it takes a while to figure out the tiebreaking and to format the list, so i don't expect i'll post it for at least 6 hours, and possibly not for 24 hours, and if any edits or new ballots come in before i post the results, i can factor them in (i know a few people are watching some 2012 and other recent films this week and have been liking them, so still a chance to vote for them in this poll)

and i thought it might be interesting (since we complain about them a lot!) to see to what extent scfz agrees with the academy and with the cannes jury. so i looked at all the nominated films each year for best picture, and worked out based on the poll results what scfz voters would have picked if we had been in charge. turns out we only agree with one of the selections from the past decade:


Oscars:
2010
Academy: The King's Speech (Tom Hooper)
SCFZ: Winter's Bone (Debra Granik)

2011
Academy: The Artist (Michel Hazanavicius)
SCFZ: The Tree of Life (Terrence Malick)

2012
Academy: Argo (Ben Affleck)
SCFZ: Amour (Michael Haneke)

2013
Academy: 12 Years a Slave (Steve McQueen)
SCFZ: The Wolf of Wall Street (Martin Scorsese)

2014
Academy: Birdman (Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu)
SCFZ: Boyhood (Richard Linklater)

2015
Academy: Spotlight (Tom McCarthy)
SCFZ: Mad Max: Fury Road (George Miller)

2016
Academy: Moonlight (Barry Jenkins)
SCFZ: Moonlight (Barry Jenkins)

2017
Academy: The Shape of Water (Guillermo del Toro)
SCFZ: Phantom Thread (PT Anderson)

2018
Academy: Green Book (Peter Farrelly)
SCFZ: The Favourite (Yorgos Lanthimos)

2019:
Academy: ???
SCFZ: ???

i'll probably do the same for cannes (where at a glance, it seems we'll overlap a lot more)

for cannes, i worked out the top two finishing films (among the cannes nominees) in our poll, and awarded them scfz's palme d'or and grand prix, then compared with the actual winners. we agreed with three of the real selections (though perhaps parasite shouldn't count, since so few of the 2019 nominees have been widely seen) but in six of the ten years, one of our top two films was one of the top two actual films. so we generally have a lot more in common, taste-wise, with cannes than with the academy, a fact that i'm sure will surprise no one here

yep, all on netflix. and aoa is awesome! it holds a special place in my heart cuz it was the first bollywood flick i watched (thx to our boy nrh, of course), but even when you discount that, it's still such a good film. even with all of the indian pics i've watched since then, i don't think i've come across another that blends so well the bollywood standbys of melodrama and musical interludes with a more grounded, serious sense of social realism and commentary. it's one of the best female empowerment movies i've seen. bey would be proud

and now would be the time to guess the poll-winner, for anyone who likes doing that kind of thing -- in terms of points, the distance between 1st place and 2nd place is the same as the difference between 2nd and 17th, so it was a runaway victory.

After watching Raul Ruiz's last film just now I'm forced to alter my ballot. Thanks Crypt for being so accommodating. (P.S. Is your Halloween moniker permanent now?)

yeah, updates are cool up until i post results, just be sure to tell me exactly what you've changed (what films drop out or drop to a lower tier, etc) so i know how to adjust the points. i'm halfway through breaking the ties, but i have a few other things to get done, so i'm not sure when i'll post the final results, could be later tonight, but might be as late as tomorrow night.

edit - thanks ralch and umbugbene, got it! (and got any other changes posted above too)

editing my ballot. removed the workshop from the last tier. moved super deluxe down from the fourth tier to the fifth. added ok kanmani to the fourth tier. lmk if there's any confusion. thx flip!
