The 29th Hall of Fame

When I'd received roughly half of the ballots, Das Boot had what appeared to be an unassailable lead, with the only likely challenger being Goldfinger. By the time there were only 2 ballots yet to be cast, Goldfinger had joined Das Boot in first place, but the pack was a lot closer. Those last two ballots were enough to see Das Boot dethroned, and Anomalisa, by gaining nearly everyone's good graces, was crowned the winner.

Seriously...four of you had Das Boot at #1....and someone thought Anomalisa was the worst film.


Das Boot is an action film where you have no suspense because nothing of consequence happens until the last 10 minutes. And because it's so famously long you know that every suspense scene is undercut by the knowledge that everyone is going to be fine.


Anyways happy for Anomalisa it was my favorite film of 2015 good winner

Shockingly the first animated film to ever win a general Hall of Fame! It was bound to happen at some point but didn't expect it here.

4. Anomalisa
5. The Promise
6. Vengeance is Mine
7. Stroszek

Congratulations Torgo for choosing the inductee film for the 29th Hall of Fame (that means congrats for winning!). Nicely done!

BIG Thanks to Phoenix for hosting and a damn fun unveil too! Super job!

Das Boot should have been 8, perhaps 7. I just felt it's length quite a bit and admittedly that factored into my placement of it.

Yes, thank you Phoenix! I would love to see you host another someday.

1 Das Boot (1981)
2 Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
3 Anomalisa (2015)
4 Goldfinger (1964)
5 The Year My Voice Broke (1987)
6 Stroszek (1977)
7 Vengeance is Mine (1979)
8 The Promise (1996)
9 Robot (2010)
10 Tomboy (2011)
11 A Moment of Innocence (1996)

The top 5 of my ballot were all great, maybe even 1-6. The rest were good too.

Thanks guys, and thanks for hosting, PHOENIX. Oh, and Okay, unless you already work for them, submit your writeup to Sight & Sound magazine. They'd hire you on the spot!

Not a fan of anything pre 1950 I see 👀

I just didn't bother to check them, but I have seen and liked films from before the 50s:
(these are just for feature films, not shorts)

283 from the 40s
221 from the 30s
73 from the 20s
24 from the 10s

previous to 1910, I have seen some short films, but no features.

I was being facetious 👀

I figured you were, but I wanted to list the number of films from the previous decades anyways.
