It's The All New Nominations & Rules Thread For The ILX Top 100 Films of The 1960s Poll!

Rules and other stuff:

How The Poll Will Be Run (lightly paraphrased from Girolamo): We're going to have a loose nominations system - in which you can nominate whatever you want (as long as it is a film made between 1960 and 1969 - IMDb dating is ultimate reference). Your nominations are unlimited, although I ask that you add them in small batches rather than large barrages. Voting will not be limited to films nominated. HOWEVER, I would strongly like to advise nominations for, discussions of, and advocacy towards titles you mention, as

a) I will be producing a voting ballot (with write-ins allowed) for general guidance for voters every week or so, if needed.
b) you can raise the profile of films you fear may be forgotten by people who have seen them
c) discussion will lead to yet more good nominations and, *gasp*, pre-fabricated BLURBS!!!

How Many Films Will I Get To Vote For On My Ballot?: You will be able to vote for 33 films. Why? I like the number, and maybe (?) we’ll have fewer ties. The point system will not be changed. (i.e. A 1st place vote brings 33 points etc.)

Where Do You Send Your Ballot?: Mail to: ilx1960sfilmpoll@yahoo.com. That’s ilx1960sfilmpoll@yahoo.com. Send them to that address.

When Are Ballots Due?: Due to my work schedule, the cut-off will be on Thursday December 1st @ 4:00 PM (Central Standard Time).

What’s In It For Me, The Voter?: Following Jeff’s lead, one randomly selected voter will win a $20 gift card from Amazon.

When Will The Results Be Revealed?: I’m aiming for Monday December 5th, with each day (save Fridays and Sundays) bringing ten (or more) revealed positions.

What If I Look For A Film On The Ballot, And It Isn’t There?: Either:

a) It wasn’t nominated, or
b) It was nominated, but is listed under another name other than the one you were thinking of under which it saw release. (For Example, “Band of Outsiders” for “Bande A Parte”/“Witchfinder General” for “The Conqueror Worm”)

Anything Else?: Enjoy yourself with this. You deserve it.

― General Doinel (Charles McCain), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:02 (twenty years ago)

it's all going to be rob reiner in the top 10, isn't it

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:19 (twenty years ago)

What makes you imagine that having 33 votes makes ties any less likely?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

The key word is "maybe." I have no idea whether there'll be ties or not. I hope that a number like 33 may open up the field a little bit, but I've been wrong before. I just addressed the issue because there had been some grumbling during the 70s poll about ties.

― General Doinel (Charles McCain), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:53 (twenty years ago)

That said, has anybody got any more nominations? Post 'em!

― General Doinel (Charles McCain), Monday, 31 October 2005 22:43 (twenty years ago)

wow..nobody mentioned Easy Rider yet? Its not my favourite, but someone should nominate it.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 15:06 (twenty years ago)

Also..."whatever happened to Aunt Alice?"

This was a good decade for strange nonsensical films.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

Strange nonsensical everything, really.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

Since I nominated Branded to Kill, should also throw Tokyo Drifter on there.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

Could it be the Female Trouble top tenner of this poll?

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Friday, 4 November 2005 04:49 (twenty years ago)

>Skidoo (1968)<

Aieee! possibly nothing worse in any decade.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 4 November 2005 20:22 (twenty years ago)

how many ppl have actually seen chelsea girls? isn't it made to be projected on three screens at once?

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Friday, 4 November 2005 22:47 (twenty years ago)

I agree, Morbius. Which is exactly why I felt it needed to be mentioned. :-)

J.D. - I have a copy of Chelsea Girls on VHS which uses split screen so you can see all three films playing at once. Not the ideal way to see this film, I'm sure (very headache-inducing, believe me).

― General Doinel (Charles McCain), Monday, 7 November 2005 20:23 (twenty years ago)

I just watched Blow Up — glad to see it's already listed here.

― I do feel guilty for getting any perverse amusement out of it (Rock Hardy), Monday, 7 November 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

Strike Throne of Blood. IMDB sez 1957

― General Doinel (Charles McCain), Monday, 7 November 2005 20:31 (twenty years ago)

1. Rosemary’s Baby
2. Midnight Cowboy
3. The Graduate
4. Shoot the Piano Player
5. To Sir with Love -- Will finish tied for 431st place--it's the wishy-washy teacher in me casting this vote.
6. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
7. Hud
8. Il Postino
9. The Hustler
10. Lolita
11. Breakfast at Tiffany’s
12. Psycho
13. Persona -- I love the weird stuff: the prologue, the credit sequence, the frame that burns up.
14. Help! -- For "Ticket to Ride" and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," two of the greatest videos ever made.
15. Night of the Living Dead

If you gravitate towards foreign art-house fare, the '60s was obviously the greatest decade ever for film. I don't, so there are at least two or three others that on balance mean more to me.

― Phil Dellio (j.j. hunsecker), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 02:25 (twenty years ago)

THE FLICKER!!!

― Fetchboy (Felcher), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

Suddenly, Last Summer

The Bed Sitting Room

Coming Apart

― steve ketchup, Tuesday, 8 November 2005 04:55 (twenty years ago)

In Cold Blood

Throne of Blood was 1957

― Rotgutt (Rotgutt), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 05:05 (twenty years ago)

Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice

― jim wentworth (wench), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 05:05 (twenty years ago)

my bad on Throne of Blood.. i had it written down wrong on the home-made movie list. but we SHOULD add:

Sanjuro (1962)

I double-checked.

― poortheatre (poortheatre), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 06:55 (twenty years ago)

after the '40s, this is my fave decade for movies. just an incredible variety of great and weird films - and most of them nowhere near as overexposed as the '70s classics everyone always goes on about.

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 07:14 (twenty years ago)

Got three ballots so far. 23 Days To Go.

― General Doinel (Charles McCain), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 19:40 (twenty years ago)

You mean Il Posto, right Phil?

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 19:44 (twenty years ago)

Thanks, Eric--yes, Il Posto, the Olmi film. I should have just done what I did with Shoot the Piano Player and called it The Sound of Trumpets. You can tell that part of my foreign-film education comes from SCTV parodies.

― Phil Dellio (j.j. hunsecker), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 22:18 (twenty years ago)

The two I might want to vote for that aren't already there:
An Actor's Revenge (one of my ten favourites ever)
El Dorado (for one of my favourite female supporting roles by someone who is forgotten)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

Hey Phil, are you just going to vote for 15 films? You can go up to 33 if you want.

― General Doinel (Charles McCain), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 23:00 (twenty years ago)

Wow.
I'm filling out my ballot right now. This is the first movie poll i've participated in and it's immensely more difficult than the music ballots. I mean, how am i supposed to pick which is better out of Juliet of the Spirits, Carnival of Souls, and the Umbrellas of Cherbourg?

― Fetchboy (Felcher), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 23:04 (twenty years ago)

oh, we're voting now too? I'd missed that point. I will get to it soon.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 23:07 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, you can vote now. I decided to follow the lead of the last few polls by doing noms and votes concurrently. Judging by Girolamo and Jeff's comments on earlier threads, it seems like the noms peter out after a couple of weeks, and then people start voting seriously.

― General Doinel (Charles McCain), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 23:12 (twenty years ago)

Don't forget to vote for LOLA, guys.

― Fetchboy (Felcher), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 23:14 (twenty years ago)

I'ma take a wild guess at the #1 being Once Upon a Time in the West.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 01:52 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not voting, but I hereby nominate the folllowing Jerry Lewis films

The Bellboy (1960)
The Ladies' Man (1961)
The Errand Boy (1961)
The Patsy (1964)
Three on a Couch (1966)

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 01:54 (nineteen years ago)

DeanMartinLives: Beyond 15 is about the point where I'd either start listing great films I've seen too many times (Peeping Tom), things I like but not quite enough (The Manchurian Candidate), or inane ephemera (Two Thousand Maniacs!). My guess for #1 would be either Strangelove or Space Odyssey, but maybe they're too obvious.

― Phil Dellio (j.j. hunsecker), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 02:34 (nineteen years ago)

You say "inane ephemera" like it's a bad thing.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 02:39 (nineteen years ago)

No, no...much better than ephemeral inanity. I just meant that I loved Two Thousand Maniacs! when I saw it at 23; at 44, I'm guessing it might not hold the same appeal.

― Phil Dellio (j.j. hunsecker), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 03:27 (nineteen years ago)

The Servant (1963)

Dirk!

― steve ketchup, Wednesday, 9 November 2005 04:59 (nineteen years ago)

Petulia (1968) Julie Christie & George C Scott

7 ballots in and counted. Three weeks left to vote.

― General Doinel (Charles McCain), Thursday, 10 November 2005 21:08 (nineteen years ago)

Partly in an effort to revise this thread, I'm adding The Apartment to my original 15. I don't know how I forgot about it--it's been a longtime favourite, and at one time would have contended for #1 (listwise, as Fred MacMurray would say).

1. Rosemary’s Baby
2. Midnight Cowboy
3. The Graduate
4. Shoot the Piano Player
5. To Sir with Love
6. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold

I struck Suddenly, Last Summer from the list because the IMDB dates it at 1959. If you voted for that film and want to revise your ballot, please write me at the poll address.

Since Two Thousand Maniacs! was mentioned, I've added it to the list along with a few other trashy classics.

You have 17 days left to vote.

is it too late to nominate stuff? cos i'd like to nominate:

Targets (1968)

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 06:40 (nineteen years ago)

9 ballots in and counted. 15 days to go.

― General Doinel (Charles McCain), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

A companion piece for Targets is Pretty Poison with Tuesday Weld and Anthony Perkins. Kael gave it a good review; I saw it ages ago on TV, and it didn't make much of an impression on me.

― Phil Dellio (j.j. hunsecker), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 22:07 (nineteen years ago)

Is it too late to nominate, I noticed there are some essential films missing... Here's my nominations:

Robert Enrico: Ho!
A fun French crime flick starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, sort of like a Jean-Pierre Melville film, but less serious.

Jacques Demy: The Young Girls of Rochefort (Les Demoiselles de Rochefort)
Sort of a companion piece to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, more of a traditional musical, with dance numbers and glorious colours. Features Gene Kelly.

Gordon Douglas: Tony Rome
A great comical and rather immoral detective story starring Frank Sinatra.

Akira Kurosawa: Red Beard (Akahige)
Akira Kurosawa's most humane flick about a kind-spirited country doctor.

Mikhail Romm: Triumph Over Violence/Ordinary Fascism (Obyknovennyy fashizm)
Cleverly edited, pointful Russian documentary about everyday fascism in Nazi Germany.

Robert Stevenson: Mary Poppins
The best musical of all time, how wasn't this already nominated?!

René Clemént: Purple Noon (Plein soleil)
The first adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley. Personally I prefer the newer version, but this one has lots of merits too, the least of them not being a young and very handsome Alain Delon.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 17 November 2005 13:52 (nineteen years ago)

Probably too late by there should be at least one Carry On film, therefore I nominate;

Carry On up the Khyber.

And also The Swimmer.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Thursday, 17 November 2005 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

Ride the High Country
Teorema
El Cid
Gamlet (Hamlet, USSR, 1964)
The Disorderly Orderly
For a Few Dollars More
The Shooting
Marat/Sade

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 17 November 2005 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

Two Weeks Left. Get those ballots in to ilx1960sfilmpoll@yahoo.com.

So far things are developing nicely, altough the bottom half of the list currently boasts several "One-Voters" with 30 points or less (132 films so far have earned points from 9 ballots). However, I think this will change as more ballots come in. The most votes any film has gotten is 7. Four pictures have gotten that many votes (and coincidentally they account for 4/5 of the top five). On the other hand, #10 has only three votes (albeit highly placed ones). So it's still anybody's ballgame, more or less. But please vote.

― General Doinel (Charles McCain), Friday, 18 November 2005 00:06 (nineteen years ago)

Vote, damn you!

― General Doinel (Charles McCain), Saturday, 19 November 2005 18:17 (nineteen years ago)

I'll send my ballot in next week, when I've had time to mull it over like a fine wine. Meanwhile, here's some films I might be voting for that I don't think have been nominated yet :

Confessions Of A Psycho Cat
The Face Of Another
The Silence
A Touch Of Zen

― Matt #2 (Matt #2), Sunday, 20 November 2005 02:31 (nineteen years ago)

Also :

Quatermass & The Pit
Mothlight (can I nominate a film that's only 4 minutes long?)

― Matt #2 (Matt #2), Sunday, 20 November 2005 11:02 (nineteen years ago)

Of course. I don't know how well it will do, but you can nominate it. BTW, as usual, I'll have an expanded list of nominees posted later today. Still @ 9 ballots, so everybody else should really be thinking about their final picks.
