....has opened






summercerely yours, netjade.

hence.. cash on the table:

the first 100 cellaloads get checked in,
anything beyond is welcomed as well...

good afternoon, good evening, and good night..

nj, (she wolf of the AMF)

I'm toiling away. When are the submissions due? And should they be sent to the same googlemail account?

i've got mine up to 75 right now. i'm so excited!

I'm presuming that we're to send our top 100 list to your GoogleMail address referenced in the "I'm With Stupid" post (jadepalooka@googlemail.com) - correct? Also, what's the submission deadline? Thanks.

"Is there any risk of brain damage?"
"Well...technically, the procedure IS brain damage. But it's on a par with a night of heavy drinking - nothing you'll miss."
- A dialogue exchange from a recent film that will rank very high on my list...

I have my list ready....somewhere...

I made it a while ago, wrote it down on paper, and now I can't find that piece of paper.

1. yep,

jadepalooka@googlemail.com

and 2.

deadline is JULY 31

does it HAVE to be a top 100 list, or can it be less....say top 25?

no, so.. yes, Nick.

How many lists have you received so far? I'm still thinking about mine.

I'm still looking for mine. I might have to do it again.

just sent mine in!

I have a list, but it's not too unlikely that I will see something really good during July, so I will send my list at the end of the month.

I'm waiting a bit longer too.

Saw an excellent movie I'll squeeze into my list yesterday. Los Olvidados (The Forgotten Ones) is a Mexican movie from the 50s, made by Luis Bunuel. Excellent in every way, and if you can stand black/white movies (and foreign language) it is highly recommended.

BUMMMP...

2 weeks to go..

Sent.

Has anyone sent in comments? I've got my list ready to go, but I haven't included comments. However, if nobody else is doing them, I'll just go ahead and send my list!

i haven't. i didn't even think about it! :(
oh well.

To quote the final line of a film that didn't quite make my top 100, by a director with two other movies in my top 30:

"I'm finished!"

mine's coming soon

Okay I'm in.

My list only needs some cosmetic work, and then it'll be finished. I'll probably send it in tomorrow, but I'm watching Blackboard Jungle tonight, and who knows, it might get includede. Brüno, which I saw yesterday, won't.

How many lists have you received so far, nj ?

so far I've received lists from Michael, Greg, Charlie Driggs, John, Harold Wexler, Stephan, Moonbeam and Matt Schroeder, nic... 3 days to go

you will get mine too, but I'm a slow worker.

You'll get my list in time
I've got this Night of the Hunter DVD at home I'd love to watch before submitting my list

sent !

I'll finish it tonight. How was Night of the Hunter?

Didn't see it. My wife wanted to see Mar Adentro (The Sea inside in english) instead and it won't be in my top 100 because it is not a great movie, despite Javier Bardem who is a chameleon-actor.

But Night of the Hunter is great. I saw it but so long ago that it's hard for me to rank it.

I think Mar Andentro is quite good. I saw Personal Best with Mariel Hemingway yesterday. It won't be in my top 100, but it was ok.

My list has been sent. And Night of the Hunter is indeed great.

I also sent my list.
Two movies from 1931 in my top 15

Night of the Hunter is great but didn't have place in my top 100.
And yesterday I watched Duck Soup (surprisingly not in my list. I picked other Marx bros movies). I have watched within a year 262 movies.

I did also a movie list by year. It's here. It won't spoil hardly anything because there are many years with 0 picks in my top 100 and actually some movies are higher in my top 100 list than those I chose the best two weeks ago.

Sent! At last. Now my shoulder aches.

I'll probably watch Hitchcock's Rebecca, or some of it, before going to bed. It coulda been a contenda.

My list is sent too.

This is the first time we have a poll where I have no clue about who's going to end up in the summary, so I really look forward to this.

Whew. Finished.

It's way harder to be confident in a best movie list than a best album list. You see most movies once or twice, maybe several times for your all time favorites, whereas you listen to albums dozens of times. Plus, I've heard way more of the most acclaimed albums than most acclaimed moves, so I found myself really reaching by the time I got all the way down to 100. I included a few things I loved when I was younger but wouldn't rate as high now, giving them points for lifetime total of entertainment rather than coincidence with current tastes.

Then there were a lot of movies where I thought "This is good...but do I really want to give it points when people here have seen more movies than me?"

Maybe what I'll do is take the top 200 on TSPDT, and pick one random one to watch a week, maybe using Netflix or something.

God, I knew it...

I forgot to include a Woody Allen and there are no western movies on my list

But what's done is done

I love WA too

But by western movies I meant the real thing (not spaghetti westerns)

I'm hoping that somebody found a way to vote for Raising Arizona.

I've voted for a couple of the classic westerns. And Woody Allen too.

Couldn't find Rebecca last night, so I watched Tucker: The Man and His Dream. Even though Francis Ford Coppola directed it, it's by no means worth watching. Overacted.

I'm hoping that somebody found a way to vote for Raising Arizona.

i just sent my top 50 a minute ago, it was a lot harder than i thought it would be.

3 Coen Bros on my list, and the 4th is at #107

But no Raising Arizona

I don't know about you, but what I really enjoy the most in those polls are the individual lists.

I got three Coen movies as well. And, yes, the individual lists are what I'm really looking forward to. I believe you can learn a lot about a person from looking at them.

Looking through my movie collection I found I forgot to vote for Full Moon High. Dang!

ok, folks. thanks for all your contributions. you'll find the results in the off-topic section.
