The Panda

Spielberg has 2 movies in my top 5 all time, and my number 1. He has permission to do whatever he wants

Gold tier Spielberg: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler’s List, Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, Jaws, Close Encounters, The Last Crusade Silver tier Spielberg: Lincoln, The Post, Catch me if you can, The Color Purple, ET, Empire of the Sun, Minority Report, Bridge of Spies, The Sugarland Express, Temple of Doom Bronze tier Spielberg: AI, The BFG, Duel, Munich, War Horse, Tintin, War of the Worlds, 1941 Also Ran Spielberg: Hook, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Amistad, The Lost World, The Terminal, Always, Twilight Zone: The Movie

Last great Spielberg movie was either the Post or Bridge of Spies imo. Before that, maybe Lincoln. He’s been on such a downhill trend!

There’s no express like a Panda express

You can choose not to, I wish the default wasn’t to automatically follow.

Hope you didn’t refund the coffee, that old lady was scheming

Looks like this should have somewhere between a Tomorrowland kind of run to a Cinderella kind of run.

One of my friends went to SXSW and loved this movie. I wasnt able to go, would have been nice to see this premiere.

If you guys send your reasonings just like that when you pm me your lists I can include your opinion in the write-up (if) the movie makes the list!

Are we allowed to say we’re biased against the movie because we think “The only thing faster than light... is the darkness!” is one of the worst pieces of dialogue written in the last year or so.

I’m pretty sure the law is you’re not allowed to dump a Spielberg movie, even the bombs like BFG

I do want to point out the deadline is in nearly two months, that’s plenty of time to watch some movies and come up with a list

Some movies that will make my list Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight Boyhood Once Upon a Time in the West The Wizard of Oz The Sound of Music The Searchers Harvey Vertigo Life of Brian Unforgiven The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford The Rocky Horror Picture Show The Grapes of Wrath Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind

You can edit the list and pm me the changes you make. However I’m not planning on starting the scoring until the soft deadline passes. Remember once the soft deadline hits I won’t consider your edits and will simply count whatever list I see from you when I get to scoring your list. This is mostly to help me out so I can space out the work load and not do it all the day after the deadline.

To those posting their lists, do remember they’ll need to be pm’d to me to be counted!

I’ll for sure be placing all of the Before trilogy high on my list

I don’t want to say just safeguards against Infinity War, but it’s Civil War making like 95 on the list two years ago that inspired the rule. The main reason that was an issue is Civil War came out a week prior to the deadline or so, people were still fresh and hot on it, so it snuck in from a small group of fans just here for its run who all placed it collectively at #1. Later in the year Civil War barely even made the top 25 of 2016 list. So either we should expect a lot of 2016 movies on here, or Civil War being on the list doesn’t really show the forums collective opinion on the movie. Anyways, I didn’t just make the rule from my judgement. It was probably the biggest complaint two years ago, and when I posted the survey for feedback I think over 70% of the respondents or so didn’t want 2018 movies to be eligible.

There shouldn’t be ties, simply because it’s a multiple pronged approach 1. Point Total 2. If points tie, then you go to which movie was on the most lists 3. If that ties, then you go to the movie with the most number 1 votes, then most number 2, etc. It makes it where the only way two movies can tie is if they’re literally placed on the exact number of lists in the exact same order, which would likely have to require major coordination from everyone on the forum.

Yup, it's time for this list to pop back up again for its bi-annual rotation! I'm mostly just trying to get this thread up so everyone has the two deadlines well in advance in order to make their full lists. Feel free to post FYCs and such within this thread! The Rules 1. Create a list of your 100 favorite movies, ranked, and send them to me by pm. They must be sent by pm in order to be counted, I won't count lists just posted in this thread. 2. If you notice, there's a hard deadline and a soft deadline. Once the soft deadline is past you are NOT allowed to edit the ballot you send me. If you're worried about seeing movies on time, just know you are getting 2 months to watch movies. If there was a movie you felt like you just had to see before sending in the ballot, you have ample time to do so. 3. Due to survey results from last month, and feedback from the list two years ago, 2018 movies are ineligible for this list. There's plenty of other quality movies released during the last 100 years you can fit onto your list that aren't Black Panther, it's okay. 4. When you submit your list, you can write out a reason why you chose a movie in your top 10 and I may feature it on the actual countdown (assuming the movie makes the cut). 5. The scoring will be done like this Number 1: 10 Points 2 through 3: 9 Points 4 through 5: 8 Points 6 through 10: 7 points 11 through 15: 6 Points 16 through 25: 5 Points 26 through 35: 4 Points 36 through 50: 3 Points 51 through 75: 2 Point 76 through 100: 1 Point Movies will first be ranked by points, if they're tied by points then that tie will be broken by which movie has the movie is on the most lists, if that is tied then it'll go to the movie with the most number 1 picks, then 2 picks, and so on. In other words, there won't be a tie. I'll add the previous lists to the main thread tomorrow at some point!

I’m just going to pretend Del Torro is winning for Pan’s Labyrinth

Boooooo

They aren’t playing any games with the envelopes this year.

Frances deserves it, her performance was fantastic. The best thing in the movie.
