SCFZ

Hello and welcome to the latest letterboxd stats showdown: Barbara Stanwyck versus Bette Davis

How does it work?
I'll read data from the letterboxd accounts of SCFZ champs. I'll then use this data to answer the questions that have been keeping you all up at night: Which Stanwyck/Davis movie was highest rated by champs? Which was rated lowest-rated? Which champ has seen the most from Stanwyck or Davis? ETC.

When will I do this?
Next Friday, January 28.

What do you need to do?
Go to your letterboxd account. Rate/log Stanwyck and Davis movies you've seen.

Who's Playing?

In the ultimate showdown, each champ gets one vote: Your vote goes to the actress 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 rating, your vote goes to no one.

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

1. How wins? Barbara Stanwyck/Bette Davis? By how much? Example: Stanwyck + 5, Davis + 1, etc.
2. What Stanwyck movie did champs rate the highest?
3. What Davis movie did champs rate the highest?
4. Which champ has the seen the most Stanwyck movies? How many did said champ see?
5. Which champ has the seen the most Davis movies? How many did said champ see?

The winner gets to pick the next showdown.

1. Bette Davis, 31-18 (+13)
2. Double Indemnity
3. All About Eve
4. no idea
5. Umbugbene, 74

Davis is the only actor or actress I've ever made a systematic effort to complete, so I think I have a chance at Question #5 even though I'm still missing many.

How timely:

Clearly we know who London is rooting for.

Heh. And I imagine most of the people here are as well. Stanwyck seems to have had a stronger grip on new cinephiles than Davis. Gotta drum up some new interest in Bette.

Stanwyck +9

Remember the Night
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane

1. Stanwyk +15
2. The Lady Eve
3. WHat Ever Happened to Baby Jane

1. Davis +2
2. Remember the Night

A reminder to do your patriotic duty and rate your Barb/Bette movies on letterboxd + I need more bets people
