Movie Forums Top 100 of the 2010s - Preliminary Thread

No, I mean my #25 pick is real as in being my actual 25th choice. I don't use any strategy whatsoever.

Heh, heh. Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I'll guess that there will be 50-100 movies that are obscure enough that very few of the folks will have heard of...

I used to having a lot of the movies on my list not making the countdown, and for most countdowns, I usually don't have most of the top ten movies on my list.

It doesn't bother me. I just enjoy watching the movies and creating my list.

OPEN FLOOR.

My ballot is in - a good decade for films, the 2010s.

I always play the unofficial "1-pointer" game - trying to pick the absolute best out of the seriously underseen or unknown.

Wow, I will say it's awesome to see the level of involvement in this forum. I have only been on and off the forums over the past 20 years or so, but stopping in every once and awhile it seems it's only growing and maintaining its presence. This makes me happy that some things haven't changed. (Note - I've recently been on a bit more as I've subscribed to Criterion Online and am now revisiting some of these old stomping grounds)

What... oh yeah, right... ballot for the 2010s submitted! Whew, barely made it!

Sent.

• IMDb ratings range from 8.3 to 6.3
• Every year of the decade is represented at least once except 2019
• Two of them have a cast of over 200 whilst four of them have a cast of under twenty

My ballot:
Films by women directors...4

Not that I was conscious of the director's gender when composing my top 25. Mostly I don't even recognize the director's names or faces besides a couple of big names.

My ballot:
Books: 10
Video Games: 10
Albums: 5
Films: 0

59 ballots.

Full disclosure, I got the message only like 4 days ago and I rewatched nothing in preparation. I only put in 10 movies,

Same, though Tom Hardy is the most represented actor on my top 25.

10 movies is better than no movies

The next person to submit their ballot wins a free puppy.

Interesting! I didn't think about this either when making my ballot but checking now, it's 3 and a half. I knew who most of the directors were, only three I had to check and two of those I've already forgotten again.

I have in my ballot:

• 3 directors with more than one film
• 9 non-English language productions
• 2 co-productions using English language by non-English lang. directors
• Not a single actor more than once in a leading role (about three actors in supporting roles more than once)
• The leading parts in seven of the films are performed by actors in their seventies. Wow!!!
• Only one year is not represented in the ballot though I've strongly considered three movies of that year in my initial selection.

You two are progressive. I only had one.

Same here, but now that I checked, I have 5 films directed/co-directed by women. Ironically, 4 of them are foreign. Take from that what you may.

And those that know me can probably guess 3 or 4 of those, so I'll shut up now
