[The Creator]

Hmm, amazed that Road Home is second [right now]. I wonder if it will get any number one mentions.

[riczhang]

I wonder if we'll end up with a different #1 film on every list, with mine, it'll be 5 different films.

[darthdevidem01]

Will have mine up by Wednesday...sorry moving into Uni so busy for the next 2 days.

[Ezen Baklattan]

The Road Home and The Glass Castle haven't topped the first five lists, but they're two of the current three leaders. Interesting.

[4815162342]

Alfred's is done. Waiting on Creator and darthdevi and possibly Impact.

[The Creator]

Wow, could we have no film with 2 number one mentions.Also, quite surprised (and delighted) that Road Home has the most Top 5 mentions and is second on the CC. Good job for the film. I'm 99% certain it and The Good Die Young (and possibly Alesia) will be nominated for BP

[Impact]

List is done.

[4815162342]

Impact's list continues the trend of not repeating #1 mentions. A 3-way tie for 2nd place and The Good Die Young with a comfortable 18 point lead. Speaking of which, Spaghetti when films are tied for the same place you should use the same number for them to make it clear it's a tie. Alesia, The Road Home, and Glass Castle are all 2nd, and Spark and Sylvarius are both 6th. We have 2 people to go now. Hope Creator and darth can finish up by the end of the weekend so I can start Oscar picks Monday.

[The Dark Alfred]

I'm not going to put Arvika into my top 5 Oscar as it's a foreign film. Will be replaced by Miracle Kids, but the rest should be unchanged. Alesia, TRH and Nirvana are safe. Will push The Last Goodbye as well.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Yeah, this was making the assumption that everyone would choose their top 5. And who knows? Opinions may change over time. :)Anyways, I really hope to get a BP nod. Glass Castle and Spark actually stand a solid chance, though.

[Impact]

Yay no film of mine made a list!

[Ezen Baklattan]

Never Say Goodbye really has huge gaps. It has three top 5 mentions (including a #1 pick) and it fails to place on other lists.

[The Creator]

There's a new Least Points with #1 and that's Never Say Goodbye. I don't understand why that's not over 100 points.As an added note: This year there were 8 lists, last year only 7. This year no film repeated at number one on any list. Last year Genesis had 3 number 1's and Black as Night had 2. This year's top film has 175 points. Last year's top film (Black as Night) had 158 points. The most points a film could get this year is 200 points. Last year it was 175 points. The Good Die Young has 87.50% of the total number of points available this year. Black as Night had 90.29% of the total number of points available in its year.I will try to do this each year so we can get a comparison of the best received films of the decade. If we look at 2nd place for each year:Year 3 - Genesis: (144/175 = 82.29%)Year 4 - The Road Home: (171/200 = 85.50%)NUMBER 1Year 1: Rapture (97/100 = 97%)Year 2: My Life to Waste (67/75 = 89.33%)Year 3: Black as Night (158/175 = 90.29%)Year 4: The Good Die Young (175/200 = 87.50%)NUMBER 2Year 1: The Wings of Icarus (93/100 = 93%)Year 2: Eternal Sleep/U.S.S. Seawolf (tie) (66/75 = 88%)Year 3: Genesis (144/175 = 82.29%)Year 4: The Road Home (171/200 = 85.50%)
