BOT Retrospective - Top 25 Movies of 1999. Deadline July 31. PM your lists to me.

[cannastop]

We watched this:

 

 

In German class. Run Lola Run.

[SLAM!]

I wanted to watch American Beauty, Bringing Out The Dead, Perfect Blue, and Sleepy Hollow for this list, and I simply never found time for any of them.

 

😞 

 

That being said, I definitely have enough to give a ten film list--and rather eclectic one, at that.

 

1. Run Lola Run

2. The Iron Giant

3. The Sixth Sense

4. The Matrix

5. Himalaya

6. Toy Story 2

7. Fight Club

8. Man On The Moon

9. The Mummy

10. Entrapment

Me when the countdown starts and it's looking promising

 

 

 

Me when my #1 ends up super low

 

 

 

Me when it looks like certain films I like might not even make it

 

 

 

Me I realize some loony fanbase is gonna get their film #1 and I need to blend in

 

 

 

Me at the end of the countdown just frustrated in disgust

 

 

 

And finally me when we get some pseudo intellectual debate featuring the usual rambling suspects

You got me curious, went through all pages, might have missed it: didn't find your list?
Still not sure what is expected and whatnot, I feel like the posting of my list might not have been expected. Or the opposite.

 

No pressure, only curious....

Posted lists are more for each other.  You need to PM your list to @grim22  for it to be counted.

I posted it mostly so there's a receipt or a record of how I voted just in case something goes wrong.... the first time I ever participated in one of these, someone used 3 different alt-accounts to cheat on it... So I figure better safe than sorry. 

Whatever the results, its always fun to make these lists... It's probably why Letterboxd is so popular.

This is my first ranked list participation (CB based my 2nd and last so far), but I read that §$%& you all had to go through, I guess that too influenced me to post it. In case something wents wrong, simple to get it back, plus a lot here seem to do it too.

I guess I'll get a feeling over the time

 

I PMed it a week or so back, thx for the hint @TalismanRing
