Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.
Why does the header say "The deadline for the Top Films of the 2000s list is TODAY!" I thought it was due Dec. 2 (tomorrow.) We need all the votes we can get.

Features 9 Oscar winning movies.. with a combined total of 19 Oscars.



I tried to do a genre breakdown, but I nearly broke my brain while determining if movies on my list are crime dramas, crime thrillers, mystery thrillers or neo-noirs. Just label them as "crime," you say? Not good enough! Anyway, what we can take from this conundrum is that it was a good decade for all of them.

Yeah, I just looked at my Top 5 and didn't even know how to label them so I gave up



I can say I have...

3 "foreign" films
1 "romcom"
2 musicals

After that, genre definitions get a bit fuzzy.

When is the Countdown scheduled to begin?
It depends on a couple of things, but hopefully, next Monday. We'll let you all know once we get all the ballots.



That elusive hide-and-seek cow is at it again
I think I have my list mostly sorted. Just need to go back through tonight. Like Mark asked, is the deadline TODAY as the menu shows? or tomorrow? What time/time zone (for any others like me straggling).

PST - Procrastinator Sweating Time?
Oh, I'm sure there'll be a good dose of that from now to then



Re: deadline. I actually wasn't positive whether today was the last day or not, and I had to update the header before going into work quickly, and I figured better to be wrong about it being earlier rather than later, since if I mess up the other way people miss the deadline entirely!

But yeah, I think tomorrow technically works, too. Sorry for any confusion.



Joking aside, while I didn't watch anything new for the countdown, my list is primarily personal favourites from the decade that I have watched multiple times each over the years, and still very much enjoy. That is, until I got to the last couple slots, which were a bit of a struggle to fill honestly, but they are films I'd happily watch again.
