Which film will be #1 on the MoFo Top 100?

I voted for Apocalypse Now..
I am supporting my movies!!!..

I was going to vote Bladerunner, but I've gone for LOTR because, well, there's 3 of them.

Are the three counted separately or together, I wonder? The LotR supporters' votes might be split between the three.

I'm betting that most MoFos grouped them, or that WBadger counted them as one. Which is sensible for these purposes, I think. But we'll see.

me too

If WBadger groups the three LoTR's together, isn't that kind of unfair (unless he (she?) uses a separate scoring system for them? Otherwise, people who have it listed first second and third on their list--or first third and nine, or sixth eigth and tenth...--will add up and those films collectively will surely get more than any one film. I do imagine many people grouped the three together, but I'm also sure some probably didn't. If this is the case, then counting these three together as one installment will distort the actual voting and the trilogy will almost certainly be in the top 5.

He might have worked that out with them. I don't know. But it wouldn't surprise me if everyone grouped them. I'll let him weigh in when he sees this.

Its shawshank.. I think, now i'm wondering if a documentary will crack the top 100, and if so which one.

If the trilogies are grouped, Godfather 3 is gonna have a negative impact i would think.

From just looking at peoples lists and from talk from other members around here I believe the #1 movie will be The Godfather Part 1/Part 2.

If a documentary does, it will almost surely be Hoop Dreams. I hope so at least.

I don't think it will have a negative impact if the Godfather's are grouped together. The first two will certainly garner a lot of votes, and it's not like the lack of votes for 3 will subtract the points tallied from the first two. I think almost by mathematical logic that tallying points from more than one film together will cause that series of films to perform better than the individual films would have.

Say a hundred people voted for The Return of the King in various positions (1-10), and say thirty people (a lot of those same people I presume) vote for The Two Towers. Now consider if two people voted for Fellowship. The entire trilogy would get a whole mess of points and probably place it in the top ten. But a movie like 2001 will end up being lower on the list than Fellowship, when only two people voted for it at all. It will have sneaked into the top 10 on the shoulders of Return and Towers. Do I make any sense?

Aye, makes sense. The Godfather Part III wouldn't drag the trilogy down because we're not using averages. That said, you could say it hurts the series because it's almost as if The Godfather has only two films to compete with LOTR's three. Sort of.

Definitely true. I'd really like to know how these will be tallied. In any case, I think Pulp Fiction will still get the top spot. A lot of people seem to really love that movie.

Phew, close one. Almost voted in the poll.

In regards to Lord of the Rings, we agreed to submit it as a whole trilogy and that is how it was scored last time as well. We decided this in the first thread.

Response from mark f:

That being said, The Godfather films were scored seperately.

I voted for The Godfather

Hot Fuzz obviously.

Really? Because Other (specifyin' would be cool) (1965) won 19 Oscars the year it came out and was -26 on AFI's "100 Years...100 Lists" list.

In all seriousness, the poll is about what people think will take the top spot. I take it as a given that lots of people won't want these films to be #1.

Probably an Eliza Dushku non-porn incest movie, according to the site's most often and creepily visited threads.

Eliza Dushku Non-Porn Incest Movie (1996, von Trier) only won 2 Oscars, and they were both for sound. But you never know.

Interesting that you would simplify Von Trier into an exploitation type director when most of his films are really not of this type at all. Not really too sure why you would chose him in that joke.
