the email address for the poll is: thelmaritterrulestheworld and is at yahoo.com

Thanks for your support. Happy viewing & voting!

Thank you for giving Eric time to see Othello and Son of Paleface.

I'm guessing we can't vote for The Apu Trilogy as one entry.

No you can't.

well, all the work is going to be winnowing then.

3 in, 3 counted.

17 days.

If anyone needs a copy of Female on the Beach so you can include it amongst your 40 (and you will!), lemme know.

4 in, 4 counted

jeez, is that all?

These results ought to be good. (My ballot's not in yet, so there will be at least 5 in the end.)

16 days peeps

Having done this before, I'm expecting to get 75% or so of the ballots in the last three days.

ilxors be lazy sods.

I am going to try to watch stuff in the next 16 days, which will inevitably be 2 films max.

The relative lesser-knowns on my list that I'd encourage anyone to screen are:

The Night of the Hunter
All That Heaven Allows
Anatomy of a Murder
Born Yesterday
The Red Balloon
What's Opera, Doc?
The 400 Blows
Sweet Smell of Success
The Men
A Night to Remember
A Face in the Crowd
Tokyo Story

...though I'm guessing you've all seen all those. Hard to know what's considered lesser-known before the '60s.

Still, I've missed a LOT here. Looking forward to seeing others' final ballots...

I think of all those as fairly well known. I recommend all the French and Japanese, along w/ the Apu trilogy.

also Madame de just hit DVD.

...and the Rossellini of yr choice. tho little besides Flowers of St Francis may be available.

three of those made my list, Pete; gotta say i'd pay a pretty penny to see Tokyo Story, tho.

and in semi-related news, i finally got a hold of a decent DVD player that can handle both European and American discs, so anyone here wants to recommend any Criterion Collection DVD's please feel free to do so.

I love the F For Fake Criterion. Haven't pierced the Mr. Arkadin one but I'm sure it's aces. And not Criterion but The Jazz Singer 3-DVD set may be the best ever.

Hey I just noticed that Mr. Arkadin didn't make the list. Doubt it would've made my 40 but I love the shit out of its every frame.

it's up there.

How the hell did I miss that? Anyhoo, thanx.

favoring Mr. Arkadin over Welles' Othello is a headscratcher to me. (also I don't think the 'official' title is The Tragedy of Othello)

I will leave Looney Tunes voting to the more egalitarian types... but what's the title of the one w/ the lost penguin and Bugs' line "Hoboken!?! OOOH, I'M DYYYYIN!"?

yeah, i remember you big upping The Jazz Singer 'round about these parts before, Kevin. i'll have to check that one out sometime soon.

that would be 8 Ball Bunny:

wiki sez:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_Ball_Bunny

xp

Hey! You're back! Where did u go?

ach, 8BB shoulda been nominated!

heh, nowhere in particular, i was just tired of this place and needed to take a break for a while.

xp

among many others.

I hear ya. Well, good to have you back.

thanks! it's good to be back--this place can be hard to shake.

two weeks.

bump

10 days 2 go

9 days

Who mentioned Saadia?!?!?!? Did I? I've never seen it but I'm dying to. Does anyone have a copy?

5 in, 5 counted

8 days

ONE WEEK

FOUR DAYS

how many ya got so far?

Still standing @ 5.

ILX: Get off one ass.

jeez, that's kinda sad; ilxors in not liking old b&w films. :^(

I have half a dozen '50s films at home to watch -- to figure out exactly how much greater they are then when I last saw them 5-20 years ago -- and, if I'm lucky, I'll get to one of then before Friday.

I hate polls. Polls suck.

also must learn not to type "then" when I don't want to

Mine's coming.

What Morbs and Chris said.

e.g., should Ikiru be ahead of Ugetsu? Is Tarnished Angels the best Sirk? No clue.

1. Probably but Mizoguchi shatters Kurosawa in general. 2. Hells no!

I'm not trusting a guy who says Track of the Cat is better than Hitchcock... ;)

I saw Anastasia again recently. Woof.

xpost. LOL. Did I really say that? Probably true for the most part.

THREE DAYS

My ballot should help push the good old familiar favorites to their predictable peak positions a la the other decade polls.

When I finish the ballot, I mean.

TWO DAYS

Really two and a half, but come on now.

ONE AND A HALF DAYS

you'll get mine w/ at least 5 hrs to spare

So wait. How do points works? Or do I just list the films in order of preference?

List in order of preference.

NEWS:

So far I've got 8 in and counted, which currently makes for a top 50 (50 films with 2+ votes & 40+ points). There are loads more that are in striking distance of that threshold so more ballots would easily allow for a top 75 or 100. I'm going to be very busy w/non-ilx matters this weekend, and I won't be online. So I'll extend the deadline until 6:00 PM CST Monday the 3rd. However, don't let that stop you from sending in your ballot ASAP.

well thx, damn u! I just sent mine and have been watching films for 12 hours...

Just sent mine.

bump

Just a few hours to go. Please please send in a ballot if you haven't already. If you have, maybe you know someone else who'd like to vote? Just sayin'.

when's the deadline tonight?

6:00 PM CST tonight, but I'm willing to take stuff till 10:00 PM (that's when I get off work).

BTW, to Morbs if he missed it. I've emailed you already, I'll need you to resubmit your ballot. For some reason it never reached the inbox.

I do have Kevin's list, so he's ok.

you have mine, right?

i re-sent mine (2x)

My ballot is the one with 40 WB toons on it.

not the only one.

xp: how many de Palma school projects are on it?

More than there are films by Howard Hawks.

I hope you mean "equal to the number of"

Actually I mean "one less than the number of," but considering it's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Hawks is about the last reason I'm voting for it ...

still have never seen GPB. I put on the one Carpenter did a crappy hommage to.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

speaking of -- there's a new print of The Fury showing here!

If facebook unfriending were baseball, you'd already have, like, 87 strikes.

*snif*

Well, luckily I'm gay and don't know how many strikes = out.

oh, you were traded back to Team Gay!

I chose to be traded.

Fights on the 1950s ILX film poll thread pale compared to the '80s and '90s editions.

well, the most fighty people have seen about 8 films each from the '50s.

You are of the fighty people.

"are you of the body, brother?"

xp: As are you! But I already know what you like from your year by year lists, and they're not that scandalous.

and only 15 months or so til the '00s poll! Plenty of bloodletting potential there.

Ooooh thread getting snippy even before the results are revealed. I love it!

Eric and I are just doing our usu game of the cine-dozens.

Just mailed in my top 22, left out the movies I don't care about. I feel bad about not commenting more on my choices, but that's my own fault, waiting 'till the very last minute.

Eric: I did get yours, and I now also have Morbs as well.

Bump.

I've got a "Top 65" at the moment from 11 ballots. I'd like to at least get a "Top 75" so the poll shall remain open.

Even though I haven't seen the entire list, I'd say Touch of Evil is better than all of the other movies on that list combined.

12 in

Argh! Spent too much time pondering and missed it!

You still have time. Send it in!

sent! phew

13 in and counted. On the cusp of a "Top 75". More ballots please.

election fraud!

erection...?

I voted for Imitation of Life ten times!

Oh good. I can still vote! Change you can believe in!

Damn straight. Get it in ASAP. I'd really like a "Top 75."

I'm calling Jimmy Carter in to oversee this late voting.

"He's history's greatest monster!"

Bump. still waitin' for Jimmy.

If you haven't voted yet, vote now...for movies from the 50s!

http://www.citecinema.com/Les-Grands-Noms/r%E9alisateurs/Vincente%20Minnelli.jpg

"I'm Vincente Minnelli, and I approve this message."

"He's history's greatest monster!"

no, just a bad president.

If you can wait until tomorrow, I've got comments in progress that I can send tonight. I sent my ballot weeks ago, in case you didn't get it.

I've got your ballot Pete. I'm still taking ballots if anyone is still interested. Barring a massive sea change on that front, I'll probably do the reveal next week after the presidential brouhaha has tapered off.

still taking ballots?? HMMMMM

You wanted a "Top 100" no? I'm counting a ballot I got yesterday right now, which has secured a "Top 75", an outcome that is probably the best I can manage bar emailing everyone who nominated but didn't vote to beg for ballots.

yes, don't water things down too much. ;)

Oh yeah.

BTW, Alfred, still wanna vote?

15 in, 15 counted.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31ruW4JyplL._SS500_.jpg

Looks like. So I'm calling it now. The ballots have been counted and the reveal will begin on Tuesday.

Thank you for your patience.

thank you

Yeah thanx vermillion! Can't wait 2 c where Toosh d'evil came in!

not my top Welles choice :)

shall we post our individ list after Big Reveal?

Not mine either though I love the shit outta it.

Yes!!!!!!

Mine's all Joan Crawford and Hugo Haas anyway.

great, maybe I'll get to watch some of my choices I haven't seen in 20 years by then!

this is only a format test

post your picks anyway, Alfred; that way we can all blame you if something we don't like wins (or not, as the case may be). :^)

How could you possibly forget, Alfred?!

Post-election recovery.

priorities, man!

How many times must a thread be bumped?

it's OK, William Wyler did not have a great '50s. :) (I like Detective Story, but not top-40 love.)

looney tunes jpg prophesising things to come?

One would have to hope.

oh, and Carrie. That's top-100 maybe.

WB toon votes will be split.

Shoot, I forgot to send comments--will send them this morning...

http://www.forgen.com/music/beginalbum400tn_.jpg

Psyched!

Got my coffee (with pumpkin spice soy milk today) and all set to make fun of whoever voted for South Pacific.

'tis coming.

Given the much more limited participation on this poll, compared to the 70s/80s/90s, I find it really hard to predict what will actually win this one. I'm guessing Touch of Evil, but if it misses just a few ballots, it could just as easily rank in the 40s or 50s.

Won't Sunset Boulevard take this? It's probably high up on some ballots, and if not, still in the lower rankings low on the others, 's my guess.

and if not, = and

Jeez I screwed up that one sentence didn't I?

Predicted top three:

1. Touch of Evil
2. Rear Window
3. Tokyo Story

no way.
