SCFZ Poll: Kon Ichikawa
if it's not too late
seen 5
kokoro
an actor's revenge
alone on the pacific (it's bizarre how often i think of this film)
also, would have loved to do ingram, but instead i've added him to my 'directors to do 2020'
not enough for any of the further suggestions

i feel like sally is bout at that point where she's gonna mysteriously disappear for a month or three, or is it just me...?
Seen three:
Fires on the Plain
Kokoro
Seen heaps of MacLaren, love the dude, plus it would be super-easy for people to 'catch up' as they're all really short even by 'shorts' standards, so the exact opposite of Von Stroheim (from whom I've only seen Foolish Wives which I hardly remember)

I have 21 McLaren's.
(As for Lupino and Von Stroheim, neither one completed enough movies for a top ten, I believe?)

yeah this is correct(As for Lupino and Von Stroheim, neither one completed enough movies for a top ten, I believe?)
i have 8 mclaren. <7 for the others
If there's not enough support for McLaren, I'll let someone else choose.
These matters are best disposed of from a great height. Over water.
oh mclaren definitely works, let's do that!
it looks like von stroheim only directed nine films, two of which are lost, though he was uncredited on three others. so i think he'll only work when we move on to directors with smaller filmographies. the same is likely true for ida lupino unless there are people who have seen a lot of her tv work (though i doubt those tv episodes are on letterboxd, so posting a top ten there won't ever work for her).

i'll probably tally this up tomorrow, so still time for late ballots or edits if anyone is watching some ichikawa films
Sorry, I've just been busy lately and probably will be for the rest of the week or so. Too many things going on at once, like my workplace is being remodeled which means my job takes a lot more time to do in all the mess, which means I don't have much time to watch the 10s and 14s like I want to and other stuff that eating into my off time that should ease up soon.WHERE THE HELL IS GREG THO
with only three points (one third-place vote) separating the 1st and 5th place finishers, i think this must be our closest poll ever. interesting! i assumed everyone voting for the burmese harp was voting for the 1956 film, and not the 1985 remake (ichikawa directed both) -- if that wasn't the case, let me know
