About midway through the voting, Christiane F. was actually trailing Schindler by only a couple of points. As much as I respect and love Schindler, I was kind of disappointed when Christiane started slipping down the ranks.

They're both harrowing films to watch and I don't know if I ever want to watch either of them again, but Christiane F. was probably the only first time watch in this that made a significant impression. I had it number 4.

Initially, I had respect for a cricket modern film but I've really come to also enjoy them as well.

Jojo was my 8. I like but don't love it.

Miss Vicky

11-22-20, 05:06 PM

This was my second time watching Jojo Rabbit and I ranked it at number 3. I had trouble deciding whether to rank this or Christiane F. higher but ultimately gave it to Jojo because I do want to watch it again.

This was my #1 and I thought it had a pretty solid chance at taking it. And that is why it's such a waste of time for me to guess at these things lol

The re-watchability on this one is incredibly high

It had a couple of pretty low rankings that really ruined its chances.
Quite the huge spread for it. True love to absolute hate and everywhere in between. Kind of impressive to have that kind of range.

Le Samouraï was my #3 and when I first saw it being nominated I was sure it was going to be my #1 and as I watched the films I started to wonder where it would end up by the end.

I was starting to think Skin was going to take this. Had it at #2 as well and it was a serious threat to my #1. It really was an excellent finale to this HoF for me.

It's amazing how much of a spread a lot of these films have gotten. A lot of diversity in likes and dislikes. Very cool

I had quite a dilemma in trying to decide which of these two to rank first. Schindler's List is in my top 100 and I think it's a truly great and important piece of cinema, but damn is it depressing and long. My love for The Skin I Live In is much more newly discovered and I think it's great in its own way. In the end I gave the edge to my own nomination because I think its rewatchability is much greater.

I can't say I'm at all surprised by the winner of this HOF, but I'm pleased with just how slim the margin was between it and The Skin I Live In.

My Ballot:
1. The Skin I Live In
2. Schindler's List
3. Jojo Rabbit
4. Christiane F
5. Gangs of New York
6. Al Mummia
7. Hunger
8. Stand By Me
9. The Reflecting Skin
10. Le Samourai
11. Late Spring
12. The Great Mouse Detective
13. The Fisher King
14. Yellow Submarine

Stand by me is one of my favourite films of all time but even I had to place it below Schindlers list - It is simply one of the most important pieces of cinema ever.

Top 3 were:

SL
SBM

Great HoF. Thanks for all the nominations and @MissVicky for hosting.

I was sleeping during the reveal, but here's my ballot with the ratings I'll (try to remember to) put on my Letterboxd):

01: The Reflecting Skin (1990) 4.5
02: Al-Mummia (1969) 3.5
03: Schindler's List (1993) 3.5
04: Jojo Rabbit (2019) 3.5
05: Christiane F. (1981) 3.5
06: Le Samouraï (1967) 3
07: The Great Mouse Detective (1986) 3
08: The Skin I Live In (2011) 2.5
09: Hunger (2008) 2
10: Stand by Me (1986) 2
11: Gangs of New York (2002) 2
12: The Fisher King (1991) 2
13: Late Spring (1949) 1.5
14: Yellow Submarine (1968) 1.5

Top-2 for me was somewhat clear (as I said, there's a good chance I'd raise Al-Mummia's rating if I'd ever get to rewatch it from a proper quality copy). Schindler's List and Jojo Rabbit were almost even on my books, and I had a really hard time picking the order.

Another problematic portion of my ballot was the segment from 9th to 12th. There was lots of movement in that area during the process. Ended up putting Hunger on top of that pack due to visual style alone. And yeah, I just don't like Ozu or The Beatles.

Overall, a rather enjoyable HoF (I mean, five films with 3.5+ rating and half of the films at 3+). And grats to CR for winning. Didn't even realize Schidler's List was his nomination until the results were in.

I like the top 12, so I'd say this was a pretty solid group. I was hoping for something to upset Schindler's List, but it was only a matter of time until it would get in. Why not now?

I'm only catching up on this thread now because the weekend totally got away from me and I completely forgot about the reveal, not that I would have been awake for it anyway haha.

Some notes: The only two films in this HoF I did not like were Yellow Submarine and Gangs of New York. I'm still not sure which one I dislike more, but I spared Yellow Submarine from placing last on my ballot purely because it's shorter. If anyone nominates either of these films again in a future HoF, I'm not rewatching them.

I'm surprised that The Fisher King placed as low as it did. It's nowhere near being one of my favourite of Gilliam's, but I thought it would ultimately rank somewhere in the middle of the pack

The Night of Counting the Years, Hunger, and Christiane F. were all in the bottom part of my ballot, but I liked all of those films. They only placed so low because I happened to enjoy other nominations just a tiny bit more. I'm particularly glad that The Night of Counting the Years was nominated, since I would not have watched that otherwise.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed JoJo enough overall that it placed so high! It was #2 on my own list. Le Samouraï was #1. I didn't expect it to win over Schindler's List or anything, but I was silently rooting for it.

My List:
01. Le Samouraï
02. Jojo Rabbit
03. Schindler's List
04. The Skin I Live In
05. Late Spring
06. The Fisher King
07. Stand By Me
08. The Great Mouse Detective
09. The Reflecting Skin
10. Hunger
11. Al-mummia

13. Yellow Submarine
