I don't think that you want to know the answer to that question. 

You realise of course, I now have to force you to watch ever Ghibli (except Earthsea and Yamadas), every film directed by Mamoru Hosoda, every film directed by Satoshi Kon, 50cm per second, Redline and Sword of the Stranger.

 

And by 'force' I mean, ask politely.

Oh I've seen all the Ghiblis and some of the others. I dislike all of them. Don't even get me started on Ponyo or Spirited Away or Princess Mononoke. I hated those with a passion.

Ponyo I can understand, since it's considered one of the weaker Ghibli's and I suppose I could kinda understand Spirited Away if you're really not into that (partially because it's a bit overrated (although still good)), but Mononoke? Honestly, that's the only movie I've ever seen with an environmental message which actually worked (unlike Nausicaa). That's my favourite Ghibli, along with Pom Poko, Porco Rosso and Castle in the Sky.

 

And yes, I'm aware this really isn't a good place to discuss this, but we don't seem to have any sort of anime thread on here to move the discussion to.

Well so far we've eliminated:

 

1. The Blob (1958)

2. Batman (1966)

3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)

4. Duel (1971)

5. The Duelists (1977) 

6. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977)  :(

 

Eliminating films based on 2/7 votes makes no sense. You have to do this in a more ordered fashion because if 5/7 people don't vote for a film, that film should stay on. We're also moving too fast through the chunks of films.

 

What needs to be done is this: Every member has to nominate up to a certain number of films, with no repetition so if Tele nominates Winnie Pooh, it gets put on the list and there is no need for another person to mention it.

 

Then, every (and I mean every) member of the committee has to vote Yes or No to voting each film on the nomination list off the final list. If a film gets at least 4 yes votes, it is off for good. Otherwise it stays on. This process repeats until every film in the first 100 selected is accounted for. Also there should be time for committee members to make a case for why a certain film should be voted off or should stay.

 

So, summing up, the entire committee process needs to be reworked and reorganized to function properly. We're working together now so you can't go make administrative decisions like this unilaterally. Also, to ensure people regularly see progress, we should have a PM conversation including all 7 committee members to handle the voting  and discussion rather than airing all the laundry here in public.
