My full ballot (including Rudderless) with the ratings I put to Letterboxd. Ranking and rating La Dolce Vita gave me a lot of problems, and I ended up putting it in the middle of my initial range (2 to 4 stars). It's definitely a film I need to rewatch at some point. Barry Lyndon is my favorite Kubrick, so good winner in my books.

01: In a Glass Cage (1986)

02: The Day of the Jackal (1973)

03: The Man from Nowhere (2010)

04: Barry Lyndon (1975)

05: The Secret in Their Eyes (2009)

06: La Dolce Vita (1960)

07: Hard Times (1975)

08: The Whisperers (1967)

09: Vampyr (1932)

10: Aniara (2018)

11: Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012)

12: Shame (1968)

13: Rudderless (2014)

14: Antwone Fisher (2002)

I really enjoyed this Hall of Fame. It was a lot of fun watching and reviewing all the movies which were nominated for it, reading the reviews that other people wrote, and discussing the films with the people here. I'm definitely going to join the 25th HoF and I hope to see Thief, Takoma, Torgo, and some more of the Corrie/RT crowd there as well.

Anyways, congratulations to Siddon for winning this and thank you so much Raul for hosting this HoF!

I'm really excited that it seems we have a new eager HOF core. I already know my pick for the next one and am very curious what people will think.



He's right. It's much better when you can hit the town and imitate the lead.
Bingo. Should have gone out late at night while everyone's asleep like Marcello did so you can swim in the fountain.

That's kind of a weird thing to say.

Well if you are on a diet and someone nominates Willy Wonka that's going to affect your enjoyment of a film. It took me three days to get through it and I normally binge films so that's something that is always a sign to me. It's a good film, I liked scenes in the film but I need multiple sittings.
