Movie Forums Top 100 of the Aughts (the 00s) - Preliminary Thread
4 Attachment(s)
It's ON! You all asked for it! By popular demand, we're on our way to our next countdown: the 2000s, the 00s, the "aughts", the new millennium. So get your air guns ready, grab a milkshake, and prepare to vote for the best films of the decade. LIST OF GENERAL RULES So here's the list of who continues to live, and who gets the end of the sword:
THE BALLOT Where do you put your vote for Pedro? Well, just like we did on the previous Foreign Language Film Countdown, we're gonna be using our new ballot toy, courtesy of Yoda, which you can access here: It will look like this:
ELIGIBILITY So, who can join this "fellowship" of films? As was said above, the basic premise is that any film listed as 2000-2009 on IMDb is eligible for our list. As for other eligibility situations:
There is a recommendation thread available where you can share lists and thoughts on eligible films for others to check. So choose well, choose wisely, always respect the opinions and thoughts of others, but most of all, HAVE FUN! May the best 2000's film win!! (please, not The Dark Knight! not The Dark Knight!) |

Interesting that partial ballots will be prorated. I don't think that's ever actually been done with any of the previous countdowns.
Not that the change will affect me. I could fill four ballots and still have leftovers. I doubt I'll even try for a one-pointer this time. |

Ok, question.
How do we navigate between "hey guys are you sure you know about that movie before voting for another ?" and "hmm, no no, just asking, doesn't mean it's on my secret vote list or anything" ? |

Very cool Thief! So glad you're doing it and hopefully more of the RT/Corries will particiapte this time around (if not you should bug the hell out them!):D
If you submit less than 25 films, then points will be redistributed accordingly (i.e. if you submit 10 films, your top film will receive 10 points, then 9 for your 2nd place, 8 for your 3rd place, etc.)
THANK YOU for doing this countdown for our MoFo community:) |

Well done Thief. This will be good. Are documentaries allowed? Can't remember.

People can still ask around and recommend their favorites to other people (and we have a thread for that), but you just can't go and post your whole list 1 thru 25 while we're in the middle of the countdown.
Let me know if that answers your question. It's all certainly obvious for those who participated in it already. I'm only progressively seeing the difference between this and a simple, five minutes long, "post your faves and go home" kind of vote. |

Thanks Thief for running the show.
Now three grueling months of turning 39 into 25! |

In all seriousness I will be recommending films that won't make my 25 just because they won't make my 25 but I still want them in the top 100. I think there are some members where we absolutely know certain films they will vote for, that isn't the same as disclosing your exact 25 in order. |

Thanks for hosting this, Thief!
|
Yay! Don’t worry Thief, I’m sure you’ll do fine.
|
My belly button has been puckering and unpuckering in anticipation of this event!
Thanks Thief, for taking one for the corrie. |
