This is very possible. My hope (perhaps too hopeful) is that it would make the discussion and viewing period a bigger part of the balloting than usual, and emphasize discovery and even some mild...

Yes: right now on the Lists page, the search box shows anything on any list, and every previous "official" countdown is there, so at worst it would just require glancing around to see whether it was...

Re: Suggestions for future countdowns

Re: little known or obscure. Not the same thing, but I still like the "Only Films That Haven't Been On Official Countdowns" idea.

Re: Suggestions for future countdowns

Yeah, over half the time is the watch period where people watch films and consider what to put on their list, and part of that is less for watching than "it's really really hard to get people to do...

The plan is to discuss (and possibly vote) on which list to do next as soon as the current one is done, which I think should be in about a month and a half. People can lobby whenever, though!

Yeah I'd definitely make it easy to check, if we go that route. Maybe even inform anyone trying to add them with the new ballot tool too.

Re: Suggestions for future countdowns

For the record, if none of that seems to be in the spirit of the thing for someone else, fair enough! :) Totally valid to want these things to be more serious than all that.

Can't speak for others, but the idea tickles me for a few reasons:

1) It'd be a list with TONS of films people haven't heard of, so it'd be great for discovery.

2) It'd almost feel like a game,...

Re: Suggestions for future countdowns

One of the arguments for doing 2010-2019 is, as noted in the Foreign List thread, we could then "safely" do a "films not on previous collaborative lists" list, since otherwise it would presumably be...

Re: Suggestions for future countdowns

It's very, very likely I'll be building a ballot submission tool for the next countdown to handle most of this stuff.

Re: Suggestions for future countdowns

Tentative plan, since nobody has objected, is to start a poll either tomorrow or Thursday for people to choose between a Decade List and Something Else. Should be up for a week, maybe a week and a...

Re: Suggestions for future countdowns

For clarity: a Foreign Films Countdown would fall under "genre" in this case, because "genre" means "anything that isn't decade" for poll purposes, at least.

Technically I think I can add a poll to a thread after the fact, but only because I'm an All Powerful Admin and stuff.

Genre, definitely, since there's nothing time-based about it.

"Genre" really means "anything that's not decade."

I guess it depends on what you mean, but if it's about the specific type, I guess there's no reason it can't happen after the first poll.

Re: Suggestions for future countdowns

I'll give people the weekend to object or not, throw out any other alternatives or opinions, and maybe we can look at starting the voting process next week.

Re: Suggestions for future countdowns

Personally I like the idea of only doing non-decades if there's a pretty clear consensus. If you have seven options and one of them wins by a single vote, and with like 35% of the vote because the...
