Letterboxd Stats Showdown: Fritz Lang/Ernst Lubitsch
This month, a clash of titans.

How does it work?
I'll read data from the letterboxd accounts of SCFZ champs. I'll then use this data to answer a number of questions: Which Lang/Lubitsch movie was rated the highest by champs? Which was lowest-rated? Which champ has seen the most from Lang/Lubitsch? What are the movie that generated wildly different ratings? ETC.

When will I do this?
Friday October 11

What do you need to do?
Go to your letterboxd account. Rate/log Lang/Lubitsch movies you've seen.

New to SCFZ? Have a letterboxd account? Wanna play?
Let me know

In the ultimate showdown, each champ gets one vote: Your vote goes to the director whose movies you gave a higher average rating to. If you gave both actors the same average rating or you're one of those people who don't believe in ratings, your vote goes to no one.

Place your bets! Here are the questions - answer as many as you want:

1. Who wins, and by how much? (e.g. Lang + 7)
2. What Lang movie did champs rate the highest?
3. What Lubitsch movie did champs rate the highest?
4. Which champ has the seen the most Lang movies? How many did said champ see?
5. Which champ has the seen the most Lubitsch movies? How many did said champ see?

The winner gets to pick the next showdown.

Lang is going to win this isn't he

I don't think I've rated all my lubitsch. To mitigate I'll rectify & watch two more (still got a few to watch guys, not even counting the so many missing ones)

If anyone has a copy of forbidden paradise that's even slightly more intelligible than some moving smears on a screen interspersed with czech intertitles I'd be much obliged.

1. Lubitsch +5
2. M
3. The Shop Around the Corner
4. Umbugbene
5. twodeadmagpies

1. Lubitsch +10
2. The Big Heat
3. Trouble in Paradise
4. greg - 35
5. twodeadmagpies - 40

i don't know where i got this lubitsch reputation from (how nice, though) but i'm not sure i deserve it. someone say someone else

Last call! You have about 24 hours left to rate your movies. Don't stay on the sidelines for this, the defining battle of our times!
