i think i'll get started tabulating this some time today or tomorrow, which means i won't be accepting any edits to already-posted ballots, unless they're made in the next 5-6 hours. but i'll still be able to factor in new ballots, so if anyone hasn't voted yet, there's still time!

would be great to hear from mr carmady about whether he still plans to participate.

Preliminarily, I've sent the mail a job to bring me Plympton's The Tune (courtesy of wba's recco)

Wow, that's great!
I didn't like THE TUNE at all as a young Plympton enthusiast. But some 20 years of life experience (as well as thousands of movies later), I think it's easily his most inspired work.

I also love the soundtrack, which I own on CD:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_Pd2QKgb6c

EDIT: Speaking of which: there's quite a number of films in my Top 100, which I didn't care about AT ALL when I saw them for the first time (mostly as a young cinephile in love with Tarkovsky, Eustache, Angelopoulos, Antonioni, Bresson, etc.).
Some I even actively disliked.
But time and especially a deep dive into the rabbit hole that is film history, have broadened my taste in ways I would NEVER have thought possible...
The wonders of cinephilia...

I watched the restored version of the Tune tonight, a whole lot of fun

The bit where the two guys find increasingly inventive ways to damage each others faces, the cause of which is a disagreement over the direction of Mr Mega's office, reminded me to not get into arguments on the internet!

The duet of "Be my only love" is so moving.

Have already seen a lot of comments saying this is his worst movie. Well gee whiz, if that's true, which I doubt, I need to see more.

Lots of rewatch value in catching all the little details.

Great to read how you enjoyed it. When I was a young Plympton enthusiast I also thought it was his worst movie. But nowadays I'm of the opinion it is by far his best. But I can understand what might irritate people about the film.
Plympton has also directed many other great films. A true auteur and a workaholic, it seems.

Plympton has also directed many other great films. A true auteur and a workaholic, it seems.

I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to get to his work, I remember being 18 and seeing the trailer for Tartan video on one of their VHSs where they have the sequence of the Wise One's heads and thinking, wow, who did that?

Good things come to those who wait.
Just watched my first Michel Deville last month, my first film by Jean-Pierre Mocky this month, and re-watched (after 20 years...) the one single film I've seen by Marcel L'Herbier last week. ^^
There's just too many great filmmakers out there.

i have tallied all the ballots posted so far. if anyone wants to edit their ballot, i suppose that's possible, but you'd need to make a new post explaining the edits you want (don't change the original ballot).

i know there are some scfz regulars who have not posted a ballot -- there is still time! i'm waiting for one ballot from mr carmady, but will accept any that come in before his (or even slightly later). if anyone needs more time, just let me know.

I saw this one this afternoon Angel, what a beautiful film, very old fashioned and elegant.

Another chance to use this icon given it's a bar movie!



I'll see if I can check out a few others from your list.

And foulmouthed too!

not sure if i should wait for mr carmady (who said he'd post a ballot by friday, three days ago). the rest of the results are tabulated. i guess i'll wait until tomorrow to see if anyone else is interested in participating, and if i don't hear anything, i'll announce the final list!

you may need to agree with me and former scfz'er adam (was that his name? the philosophy prof who hasn't been around for years, actually i think it was aaron) that anna faris is a comedic genius to really enjoy that film, but it's her finest work imo, though probably a love it or hate it kind of movie

I actually feel completely disoriented after that like I was the one who ate the cupcakes. I have to go out and get a choc-ice now and some non-alcoholic beer now!

i managed to include your votes in the final results (though if you could follow the instructions next time -- english titles, no accented characters, full director names -- i'd appreciate it!)

so the tabulation is now done -- a few summary details:

• 1596 different films got at least one vote
• 144 different directors got votes for 3 or more of their films
• three directors got votes for 10 or more of their films -- i'll reveal the names soon, but if anyone would find it fun to guess, now is the time!
• the #1 film is seven points ahead of #2 (a top-tier vote only awarded six points, so #1 was essentially two ballots ahead of #2). the #2 and #3 films were close, but #3 was seven points ahead of #4. so we have a clear #1, and a clear top three. if anyone wants to guess the films, now is the time!

i'll probably post some info about directors with multiple films later today, and the final results some time over the weekend

10 or more of their films?
Sounds incredible!!!

Lubitsch, maybe?

Blind guess: Rohmer? Maybe Godard and Bergman. Possibly Kurosawa or Ford, though knowing this forum, maybe Rivette?
