You can post a list of anywhere between 5 and 20 films (or more, but only 20 will be counted) from the year we're covering. The deciding factor in terms of release dates is the RYM list and the top 10 of each year will go on to the final top 100 round. The deadline is November 6th.

The points scheme is as follows:
1. 50 points
2. 40
3. 35
4. 30
5. 25
6. 20
7. 18
8. 16
9. 14
10. 12
11. 10
10. 9
...
20. 1
However, these are the maximum amounts of points. If you want to put certain films on your list but don't want to give them too many points, you can choose to give these less points than in this scheme (but never more) to decrease the impact on the overall results. If you don't specifically state that you want to give (some of) your films fewer points, I will assume the standard scheme.

Here are some lists to remind you of the great (and awful) films released in 1989, from a variety of sources:

(1) Decalogue

I know you said it's not eligible, but it's silly that Heimat and Berlin Alexanderplatz are eligible and Decalogue is not, so I'm listing it.

1. Crimes and Misdemeanors
2. Do The Right Thing
3. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
4. Back To The Future II
UHF (5 pts)

I'm just going by our own rules; Heimat and Berlin Alexanderplatz have both seen a theatrical release at one point but as far as I can find Dekalog never has.

Only "A short film about killing" and "A short film about love" have had a theatrical release, but in a longer reworked version
However, Sight and Sound and Empire, the film magazines, consider the Decalog to be a movie.

Looking forward to the 80s decade poll and the 70s.

A bit of fatigue is setting in it seems, only 11 voters so far compared to the 15 for earlier years.

I didn't have much time these last few weeks to do much of anything, so here's my short list:

1. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
2. Crimes and Misdemeanors
3. A Grand Day Out With Wallace and Gromit
4. Do The Right Thing
5. Born On The Fourth Of July
6. When Harry Met Sally...
7. The Killer

And apparently so did some other people, the lowest turnout since we first started these competitions with the year 2000. Let's hope it picks up a little again in the next decade. In any case, here's our top 10:

1. Do the Right Thing (Spike Lee) - 305
2. Crimes and Misdemeanors (Woody Allen) - 288
3. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Steven Spielberg) - 151
4. Sex, Lies and Videotape (Steven Soderbergh) - 148
5. Drugstore Cowboy (Gus Van Sant) - 118
6. When Harry Met Sally... (Rob Reiner) - 93
7. Back to the Future, Part Two (Robert Zemeckis) - 90
8. Henry V (Kenneth Branagh) - 75
9. A Grand Day Out (Nick Park) - 75
10. Born on the Fourth of July (Oliver Stone) - 71

Woody Allen, Rob Reiner and Steven Spielberg join Scorsese to form the 4 with 4, and Robert Zemeckis and Oliver Stone joins the group of 2.

The finale topic will be up soon.
