The Best Movie of All Time A-Z

[calsnowskier]

It was just an idea...

Wasnt slamming the idea, just saying that I am not interested in running it. I am not much a music nut...

 

[Nosferatu]

Well, if we get enough people that wanna do another one i'll be happy to run it...

 

[calsnowskier]

I am looking up numeric movies, and found that there are a lot that have been referred to in print both spelled and numerically.

I think the best way to proceed is to allow any movie as long as a reputable link can be provided referring to it numerically. However, if it received more than 1 vote under its letter, than I will not allow it in the numbers.

One exception will be Eight Men Out. I am finding this referred to strictly with the spelling, but it was not allowed under "E", so it will be allowed in the numbers.

This is confusing, I know, but I don't want this being a big fight. Please be reasonable in the nom thread.

H - No brainier for me. One of my top few movies of all time. I don't know that my pick will win this one, though.

I - I have no idea where this one will go. Not sure my pick has the cache to be able to win.

J - This one should be a run away.

K - I expect this one to go to a runoff because of the split.

L - I have no idea where my vote is going, and I have no clue how this will turn out.

M - My vote likely won't win, but it is also one of my all-time faves.

N - Kinda a weak category, IMHO. Not sure where my vote is going.

O - I don't expect this one to be that close, even though it is actually a surprisingly strong category.

P - 2 of my all-time faves here. I know how I am voting, but it is a tough one to ignore the other.

Q - Tough one. Weakest category yet, by far.

R - Another category with 2 SUPER strong contenders, but one of them is in the extra tier. Easy vote for me, even though I hate leaving the other behind.

S - Probably the strongest category there is. But an easy vote for me.

T - No elite-tier movies, but multiple movies just outside. I think I know where I am voting, but not 100% yet.

U - Another surprisingly strong category. No-brainier for me, though.

V - I know where I am voting. That's about all there is to say about this category. Meh.

W - I don't expect a 100% vote in any category, but this may be the closest.

All nominations are now complete. I will start the polls on Monday, and they will stay open for about 3 days each. I will mess with the lengths to account for weekends, though.

A best tv show one could be fun to do

But idk how it would be done since you can't really do it A-Z with such a smaller selection.

I was thinking this same thing.

Maybe by genre?

I think genre could work!

I'd be pretty much good with any way that someone could come up with for it.

(S) Star Wars: A New Hope makes the list over The Sting. smh Commentary on the intelligence of Hooplans or the US in general?

Or just how your opinion is not gospel.

I thought there were a lot of epic movies that did not make it. Doesn't mean my opinion is better than the next guys.

It also doesn't say these lists are accurate, either.

 

[calsnowskier]

First 3 polls are up.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Wow. So far through G I've voted for the current leader ever time. B and F I moved into a 1st place tie.

Me and the people are in agreement so far!!

 

[calsnowskier]

How should I schedule the run-off polls? Should I do all the runoffs at the end, or immediately post them?

I want to avoid having TOO many stickied threads at once, but I also dont want to drag this thing out so far that everyone loses interest.

I'd like to change my votes in that case!

Thoughts?

But I suspect it is a different movie than the one you will be voting for...
