Doubling the Canon 2020 Update - Results
Posted: Sun Feb 23, 2020 11:05 am
Welcome to our annual update.
What is this?
Begun in 2007, Doubling the Canon is a yearly project which aims to expand the Film Canon as crafted by the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? website. Originally it was a selection of 1000 movies to complement the TSPDT Top 1000, now it is a list of 1000-1250 which complements both the all time Top 1000 and the companion TSPDT Top 1000 of the 21st century.
Who can participate?
Anyone can join. Requirement for newbies: Please note that you will be requested to identify yourself, just to make sure that the poll is answered (only once) by cinephiles of good will.

What is new in this update?
Any film that is newly admitted to the Doubled Canon must be subjected to a revote after 5 years, so we're going to revote the 2015 entries.
2019 update:

Phase I: Nominations for titles not on either the TSPDT lists or the Doubling list.
Deadline: March 27
Each participant can nominate a maximum of 12 films. Shorts, TV-movies, and TV mini-series are eligible. Every nominated movie goes onto the roster as a nominee. Films released in 2019-20 aren't allowed this year for our exercise.
Along with a list of the titles, please include the corresponding list of bare IMDb urls for the same films.
Please, don't edit your post! To change your ballot (undesirable) or add new titles you have to write a new reply.
Phase II: Ratings.
You're invited to rate the films you have seen (whether you have participated in the phase I or not). The nominees with the highest ratings make it into our list.
You can cast your votes anytime between now and Thursday, April 30. Only 'write-in' updates will be accepted after the deadline.
Please, sign your ballot. Example: This is Angel Glez.
Rating system:
6=All time top 600
5=All time top 601-1,200
4=All time top 1,201-1,800
3=All time top 1,801-2,400
2=It's a good movie, but not special enough to deserve placement in a 2,400-movie canon
1=It's an average movie, far from good enough to deserve placement on this list
0=I dislike this movie
Note: The cutoff was 3.91 last year. That means a 3 does not really help a film make the list.
Procedure 1: Just download the ballot (if you prefer I can send you the file) and email it back to me (doublingthecanon@hotmail.com)
DDL: https://we.tl/t-qZwrEA2V0n
Procedure 2: Online (PM me for details)
Don't remove anything, don't reorder. Untouched ballot with ratings, please.
After submitting your ballot, post a reply here to make sure I received the file. You can also add comments or statistics if you wish.
Early ballots would be appreciated. Then, if you watch new films or forgot to rate some, send me a 'write-in' ballot.
Thank you in advance for joining us in this game.
P.S.: If you know anyone adventurous enough (on or off the forum) that you think would also enjoy participating, feel free to invite them as well.
