Yes, I think we're going in circles too, and I'm also done for the night. (I already fell asleep at my keyboard while typing my last reply. :lol:)

(Maybe I'm wrong), but in my mind, the "most first-place votes" measures the choice that the majority of people want the most, not the choice that the most people just want in general.

I'm not...

You might be right that it's an incorrect assumption, but if it isn't, then there is an advantage to not splitting the choices into "foreign general" and "foreign regional" because only one of those...

Yes, the methods are different because the goals are different.

A one-vote system for the countdown would only work if we were only looking for the one top film, not multiple films. For the...

Which is more wanted depends on your goal. If you're looking for an actual "winner", then the most first place votes would be the most wanted, but if you're looking to please the most people, then...

My statement, (in this case), was more about the concept of splitting the categories, rather than how it affects the vote. I don't think that foreign should be split into sub-genres for the...

So if multiple, equally-ranked votes is a fair system, why do we rank the movies when we submit our lists? Why not just have each person submit a list of their top 25 movies, and each movie is given...

This is the logic, in a nutshell. With most people okay with several options and so many options to choose from, we're in danger of having a "winner" with a mere plurality of the vote. With multiple...

In reference to splitting the categories, the difference is that I haven't heard anyone say that they have no interest in the other genres if certain sub-genres are, or are not, included. People...

I haven't voted yet in this poll, so I haven't seen the results, but it's obvious from the comments in this thread that foreign is so far ahead that my vote won't matter anyway.

But I would have...

I think it does affect the winner because there's no way to know how many of the votes aren't actually first place votes. For example, if one genre gets 20 votes, but 10 of them were second place or...
