What this teaches us is there are times in this life when you absolutely need to hold your own nuts if no one else will do it for you.

I have to wrap this up for today but don't worry, I don't intend to drag this out over 2-3 weeks - will start doing 10 per day tomorrow. In the meantime, some initial stats with the first 10 out of the way: Yearly breakdown: 2011 (1), 2012 (1), 2013 (2), 2014 (3), 2015 (1), 2016 (1), 2019 (1) Directors with multiple films on the list: N/A Actors with multiple characters on the list: John Hurt (2); Amy Ryan (2)

First, here are the 10 runner-ups, already including two Best Picture winners and some passionate favorites that ended up a hair away from the final 100. Number 110 Number 109 Number 108 Number 106 (tie) Number 106 (tie) Number 105 Number 104 Number 103 Number 102 Number 101

It begins! Apologies to those in whom I may have created false expectations by claiming the scoring process would take me "a few days," I myself have learned the hard way that this was... unrealistic. But the results are here, and hopefully you will find them worth your time. Some relevant stats, trivia and observations: 49 lists were submitted and calculated 830 different films received points No film appeared on 75% of the lists My hope for the tiered scoring system I worked out for this countdown was that it would keep people's favorites in their individual lists close enough together without leading to the final list having, say, eight movies with the same score, and depending on one's POV, it ended up working either perfectly or a little too well: there are few ties but a whole lot of freakishly close calls that could have gone differently had one more list been submitted, or even had one of you felt like putting something at, say, #18 as opposed to #19. It made a lot of outcomes during scoring unpredictable until the very end, a feeling that I think will translate to the reveal process as well. When films did tie in points, ties were broken based on the number of lists they appeared in, with films that received broader support ranking higher. When films tied in both points and lists, I chose to keep them tied (note that this is mostly only relevant to films outside the top 100), but I'll provide info re: #1 placements, top 5 placements and top 10 placements for context. With that said... let's get this show on the road.

He really seemed poised to become a huge deal after those two movies. Definitely wouldn't have expected that he'd instead sink without a trace into the WB franchise swamp.

Was scoring your list and only just saw that you have both The Tale of the Princess Kaguya and How to Train Your Dragon on there twice (22 and 31; 61 and 75). Can you edit it when you've got a minute? Asking here because you can't receive PMs.

No one should lose a career over anything like this unless it extends past an isolated incident and they are objectively dangerous to people around them.

Go ahead!
