Looks like WWII could be the dominant war so far and that includes myself

Looks like the only decade I missed was the Twenties

I'll play...

My ballot:

1920s: 0
1930s: 1
1940s: 2
1950s: 2
1960s: 5

2000s: 2
2010s: 0
2020s: 1

Up to 42 ballots. Get 'em in!

I guess I'll update this with the decades, you can tell what I usually watch by the numbers.

1920s - 1
1930s - 1
1940s - 5
1950s - 13
1960s - 5
1980s - 2
2000s - 1

First page is stuck on 24. Hoping there would be a lot more.

60 woulda been nice. Probably about 50 seems like.

Just hasn't been updated yet. We have 42 so far and more coming in.

Have we badgered the necessary people?

I don't think Keyser PMed people?

I sure did when I hosted the 1930s countdown...I was like a telemarketer with a speed dial machine!

Who are they? Name names!

"Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

It's all the people who post daily at MoFo but can't bother to send in a voting ballot.

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but I haven't kept up with this thread. What is the stance on films about fictional wars? Stuff like Duck Soup or Bergman's Shame? Doesn't matter as long as it's tagged as a "war film" on IMDb?

In terms of eligibility, apparently the tags are all the matter (it's one of three sites, I think. IMDb, letterboxd, and I'm forgetting the other one).


In terms of how people are voting, I think it's the usual "best X-genre movie" voting logic people usually have to deal with. I know the "best war movie" read vs "best movie that is a war movie" altered at least the placement of at least two or three movies on my ballot (actually probably all of them, come to think about it).

My ballot decade breakdown:


1930s 1
1940s 2
1950s 5
1960s 3
1970s 1
1980s 5
1990s 4
2000s 1
2010s 2
2020s 1

You just gotta see it tagged as "war" in the genre section of either of the three websites. I verify each nom just in case.

Done. I am satisfied with my choices, though I am certain when the reveals begin I am going to go

quite a few times.

Just submitted mine.

My breakdown:

1920s: 1
1930s: 2
1940s: 1
1950s: 2
1960s: 5
1970s: 1
1980s: 6
1990s: 3
2000s: 3
2010s: 1


So it's nice to see I unintentionally have every decade represented.

I won't say some of the wars that I included because that might give away some of my picks, but these were the top ones:

World War II: 10
World War I: 4
Vietnam War: 4

I also had three films about fictional wars.

Last day, everybody!


I'm watching ONE more movie for this before the deadline.
