i'd like to see how many of these lists zootopia remains on in the 2017 edition.

I'd like to know how many additional lists it will appear on in the 2017 edition.

[Truckasaurus]

So, anyone can participate in this? And if so, can I just share my list here?

Yup, and you can post it here or DM it to me.  People have done both.

[cannastop]

@Baumer

 

You might want to specify which Jungle Book you mean.

[WrathOfHan]

I like your thinking @4815162342, makes it easier to decide what films go where  

[Wrath]

There. Done. I suppose I might still go back and tweak things, but I'm basically happy with them.

 

I didn't really put much effort into sorting within the categories. I don't actually think Best in Show is better than To Kill a Mockingbird, but they're both in the same point range so I figured it didn't matter where they fell relative to each other.

 

The movie I'd most like to move up, but can't, is Terminator. If you put a gun to my head, I'd admit that my #96-100 movies (except, possibly, Die Hard) have no place on this list, but I love them, they're good movies (each in their own way) and they're well done. Other than those 5, the movie I'm most tempted to move off the list is The Avengers in part because I think Civil War was simply better. I'm a little concerned I haven't spent enough time thinking about this, because I don't have really have a group of movies I'm dying to add and can't find spots for. I assume like a half-dozen movies will pop into mind the instant this becomes final and I'll regret my choices then.

 

On the other hand, there are a lot of good movies I still haven't seen. I need to get around to that.

Oh, thanks. Yeah, its very much still a work in progress. I took a list from the last page, deleted the movies I wasn't sure at first glance I'd include (or hadn't seen. Every time I do this I'm reminded of how many really great movies I've still never seen), included a handful that happened to be top of mind and I knew I wanted to include, and I'm about half-way into at least getting the movies on the list so far into the right general neighborhoods. Tonight or tomorrow sometime I'll finish that, finish populating the list, and then do a final pass to give out the final spots to everything.

 

Which isn't to say Fury Road won't still be on the list twice when its done. Just that then it will be a result of ineptitude, rather than now when its because of being busy with other stuff.

[Dark 33Legend of the Sith]

I've been away a bit. I'll try get a list in by tomorrow. I love this kind of stuff. Great thread.
