I too hope Derek Cianfrance gets more love, from everyone else.

Hope your right, The Place Beyond the Pines is actually in my top 30, one of my last cuts. I saw this utube video where an actual bank robber rates heists in movies and PBTP was one of the more realistic ones and The Dark Knight the most ridiculous.

Twenty-one different directors (four with a pair each).

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows was my #25. I guess it's sort of a guilty pleasure although I never feel that guilty about movies I enjoy. It's one that's just pure, almost unquantifiable enjoyment and probably should have been higher than #25 but I knew no-one else would vote for it and here is it's small moment.

As for the predictions...

Dennis Villeneuve
2010
Parasite

Snow angel has been ringtone for the past seven years, for the three different mobile phones that I have owned in that time.

Good film and surprised its only a one pointer.

Like who? Especially mainstream. Villeneuve has 6 and a lot of directors work every 2-3 years.

Also its 2010-2019 not 2020.

I looked like crazy for an alternative but I think Villenueve is correct, with Scorsese possibly tying. Seems like there will be a handful with 3.

2011

Parasite wins but Mad Max gives it a run

Lone wolf nominations?

When someone busts one cap out of 300 to highlight a film they know, or at least expect in advance no one else would ever think the film to be a serious contender, the single point nomination rates highlight.

However when someone else gives the top spot on their list (they’ve thought this film was either the best film (honestly) in the entire category, or at least they wanted to place as high as possible on the official list, yet no one else on the board seems aware the film even exists.

In the comedy countdown I think it was mentioned there were nine films.

I’m curious why are the rooting, tooting, best in show,“Lone wolf nominations” are never mentioned?

Here are some more questions:

1) What films do you think will be at #100 and #99?

2) What genre do you think will be represented the most?

3) What foreign country do you think will be represented the most?

#100 Okja
#99 Avengers: Infinity War

100. frances ha
99. the king’s speech

Hm, Holden's list really helps with the top director guess. I think it could be one of the following: Villenueve, PTA, Nolan, or Bong Joon Ho. Maybe Scorsese. Yeah my prediction is a five way tie with three movies each.


I think one of the early years will get the most votes.


And Mad Max: Fury Road takes #1.
