The Next Countdown: The Sixties vs Animation

Is it really that hard to multi-task? why not just do both?

Lists seem to work better when they're not vying for people's attention simultaneously.

This:The vote will be whatever it is, but it's pretty clear at least a handful of people may not have understood what they were voting for.

It might not matter, but is there anyway I can change my vote from 60s to animation?

Sure, anyone can change their vote up until the deadline. Done.

Sixties. Not that excited about an animation list. All the top films will probably be predictable, especially if we have loads of ballots, then the lower places will be more random based on a few users who place them higher, a bit like the comic but list, I'm not sure. Actual decades with no rules are much more interesting for me as I want to watch all sorts and can watch animation there, if they were that good they'd make the lists anyway.

I think I might start watching some sixties films in preparation for the list, as I started too late with the seventies stuff for it to have much of an impact on my list.

I want to change my vote to the animation list

I would like to change my vote from animation to animation.

I think all the top films of any countdown we do will be predictable.

In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Isn't that a bit like every MoFo list we've done?

Doesn't seem like a valid reason to vote against the animated list to me.

Great minds and all that...

I was going to say the same thing. The top films are always predictable with the lists.

I suppose, but not to the same extent, especially in the 70s list where there are pretty much quality films throughout. I'm just worried that based off the comic book list the bottom half will be more sporadic, especially in terms of order.

My main argument though is about quality, animation if a medium of film, but its still a film and they are eligible for the normal lists, and if people hold them in that high regard they make the lists (as some have). I'd rather watch the top fifth films of all time than the top 50 animations, because they'll be the best and could include animations if deservedly so.

Okay, but even if that's all true, it'll be just as true when we do it second.

I like 100-51 almost more than 50-1 because there are more chances for a wildcard or two (or ten) to show up.

So you doubt that there will be quality films throughout an animated list?

I think you need to watch more animation.

I'm especially excited for the lower half of the animated list, which will be the more obscure stuff and will probably have the most variety of animation styles.

What's up with people changing their vote? Oh, nevermind. Sixties win anyways.

We'll do them both anyway, so I think we should do the animation list first. We'll have more time to explore the '60s and in the meantime there's another fun list to keep us busy a little bit.

Some variation is always welcome, in my opinion.
