RIPPA Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Oh so very rusty... We had 7 Ballots (6 100 vote and 1 50 vote ballot). This will make things a little wonky but not too bad. 297 Movies Received Votes (675 the last time) 102 movies made the 100 point threshold. 8 additional movies were added to get me to a nice even 110. Those 8 movies either A.) Had a Top 5 vote or B.) Got at least 3 votes So the bottom half is a little different but the whole point of this is for you to discovery movies you wanted to watch so I am not sure folks will mind too too much. Other things to remember Tiebreakers 1) Fewer # of votes 2) Highest individual vote 3) Magic - Please don't post your ballots in this thread (there will be a separate thread for that near the end). It's okay to say that you voted for something after a movie shows up but we want to keep the mystery alive. I am going to try and post the 8 random movies before I leave work. Let's see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Okay - that is all I am getting to right now. I want to find a better way to do the movie posters since imageshack and flickr have let me down. So I will figure that out tonight and then continue on tomorrow.

Death From Above Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 When I did the giant music poll dumps I used a photobucket uploader add-on for firefox so you could just right click a picture, direct upload it to your account, and instantly get a link. That saved me about 5000 clicks, and my sanity. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-Us/firefox/addon/photobucket-uploader/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was one of those movies that was really pretty and really well-made, but man was it a downer. It was sort of one of those things where everytime something was resolved you just waited for something bad to happen, which it almost always did. 109) THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL (Vincente Minnelli, 1952) 50 Points (3 Votes - Highest Vote: Ray #81) IMDB ROTTEN TOMATOES (96%) WIKI Had this at #84. It's really big and dramatic and stage-y, but it also looks really good and has a fun Kirk Douglas performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 104) THE WRONG MAN (Alfred Hitchcock, 1956) 97 Points (3 Votes - Highest Vote: #42 Ray) IMDB ROTTEN TOMATOES (90%) WIKI NOTE FROM RIPPA - This is the last 3 vote movie that didn't have at least 100 points Had this at #80 but am struggling to remember literally anything about it. IIRC, it was a pretty stripped-down, gimmick-free Hitchcock about a man wrongfully accused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 That gets us to the Top 100. I will do 5 more sometime this afternoon after I am done balancing the fucking office budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'The Bad Seed's a perfectly entertaining little flick about an evil child. The ending is kinda lame because of the film code, plus the post-movie credits stuff where the mom spanks the little girl and smiles for the camera is the worst pandering "See? She's not really evil, we're friends!" thing I've maybe ever seen in a film. But, who cares, the girl's so evil and it's such a nasty little film that it's really enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
