Oh, wait, found my ballot. Yeah, I voted for Western.

Western was in the 2017 Sight and Sound top ten, fwiw.

elitists

Re-submitted! Mostly just to re-order, because some wore better over time.
― Cherish, Sunday, 15 July 2018 17:46 (five years ago) link
thread titles like THE LOBSTER (2016)
wow I saw this on a plane (that took off from US soil) in 2015
I haven’t seen either of them! I’ve heard good things. Won’t speak for morbius but I have nothing against kid movies, just get peeved by the amount of cultural real estate they commandeer these days. We’re all having fun here
The Paddingtons are absolutely "family" films, not kid films, and the balance is tipped much further toward adult viewers and film nerds in #2
btw USA, it's screening again in Regal theatres on Tuesday Aug 14 and Weds Aug 15, for $1

will vote Western then to stop Paddington winning

Probably too obscure. Try Dunkirk.

lemme tell you about a little film called Darkest Hour

Meh. Their Finest! Lone Scherfig, one of the great.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 15 July 2018 21:27 (five years ago) link
sent my revised ballot! also mostly to re-order
― Dan S, Monday, 16 July 2018 21:57 (five years ago) link
I redid mine from scratch before looking at my old one; discovered that the first four were the same with one order flipped. After two days I decided I was right before and flipped them again. (A whole bunch were dropped altogether.)

Wait, who are we sending ballots to this time?
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Tuesday, 17 July 2018 02:06 (five years ago) link
sic, via ILX mail, apparently. Is it reliable?
A reminder that the shamefully overlooked The Other Side of Hope is available from the Criterion Collection.
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 17 July 2018 02:13 (five years ago) link
That was one of the main reasons I wanted to send a revised ballot.

i applaud you
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 17 July 2018 02:30 (five years ago) link
I wasn’t going to revise mine, did so to include The Other Side of Hope, and was surprised to realize it was in my top 3.
― Chris L, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 08:13 (five years ago) link
Is it reliable?I've received five revised ballots so far
― kelp, clam and carrion (sic), Tuesday, 17 July 2018 08:30 (five years ago) link
Wait, if I include Western then I should really include Jeune Femme. This whole thing is falling apart.
My general rule is that I'd rather vote for things I like in the year I think other people will vote for them if there's a choice. There doesn't seem to be anything to be gained from sticking to the year I saw them in an exercise like this, and I usually don't bother voting for something if it's already appeared prominently the year before because of a much earlier US release date.
― Alba, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 10:21 (five years ago) link
think Western will probs do better next year, will be revising for The Other Side of Hope though
― devvvine, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 10:27 (five years ago) link
On the one hand, I really think we're overestimating how well Western would be doing, even if we all coordinated our votes. On the other, removing it would leave me space for Paddington. Hmmmm...
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 10:36 (five years ago) link
I think I'll throw in Jeune Femme too, just because my cinemagoing has ground to a sudden halt because of becoming a father, so I doubt I'll be submitting a 2018 ballot In fact, Jeune Femme was the very last film I saw before the baby came.
― Alba, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 10:50 (five years ago) link
Jeunne Femme is the one that was also called Montparnasse Bienvenue, right? Good film, just slightly missed my ballot.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 10:54 (five years ago) link
Yes, that's right. I don't know why they called it that in some territories: weird to choose a different title that's still in French.
― Alba, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 11:02 (five years ago) link
Looking fwd to the countdown. I am making no changes and iirc sic said to sit tight.
Morbs its great that you revived the thread. :-)
Hope Gukbe gets works through whatever is going down.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 13:17 (five years ago) link
Paddington, is that the thing about the bear? Just checking..
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 13:18 (five years ago) link
I believe it's known as Jeune Ours in some territories.
― Alba, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 13:46 (five years ago) link
👍

The Ornithologist better rank high. It's still on Netflix!

Just resubmitted!

anyone other than Morbs and Soto still planning on sending a revised or new ballot?
― kelp, clam and carrion (sic), Wednesday, 18 July 2018 21:22 (five years ago) link
Yes, I will tonite!
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 18 July 2018 21:23 (five years ago) link
sent!

I send one, I think?

Same
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Wednesday, 18 July 2018 21:44 (five years ago) link
I was considering revising but I think I might as well let mine stand - i don’t think there’s anything I’d add anyway, I was just thinking of shuffling some things and maybe removing a couple
― Centipedes? In this economy? (wins), Wednesday, 18 July 2018 21:50 (five years ago) link
yes, got Fred and Eric's: I haven't been posting "received" notices because that's tedious for everyone else to open an updated thread for, but we've got 12 revisions in so far, with Alfred's still being read by System.
― kelp, clam and carrion (sic), Wednesday, 18 July 2018 22:02 (five years ago) link
I guess i should've saved this revive for when my rewatches are complete in the fall?

lol,I feel my rewatching, rethinking, reordering is never going to be complete...

Nope, which is why no better time than the eternal present to rank.
