A Total of 26 Ballots were submitted

A Total of 1246 Movies were named in some form on ballots

As mentioned 361 movies made the final reveal. This represents 29% of the movies voted for. I think that is a decent representation without going all NHL playoffs on the list.

Any movie that had 96 or more points made the list. This means that everyone's Top 5 made the final reveal. (I felt that in a poll like this - if someone felt strongly enough to put something in their Top 5 it should make the reveal.) It only added 22 movies beyond the traditional 100 point cutoff. (As a reminder 1st place vote = 100, 2nd place vote = 99, etc...)

TIEBREAKERS

1) Honorable Mention

1a) Fewer # of votes

2) Highest Individual Vote

3) Magic

(I think Honorable Mention votes and Fewer # of Votes will basically always end up falling the same way but I am not 100% sure because it is easier to break the ties as I go)

OTHER THINGS

Please don't reveal that you voted for a movie that hasn't been revealed yet. I do want to keep some of the mystery

Full list of votes will be posted at the end

I will keep a separate thread that will contain just the list that only I can post in. Mainly to keep the size of individual posts down to a manageable load time. (See the results of the 90s poll to see what I mean). I will also create a page on the main site as another backup.

Goal is to do at least 10 movies a day and 10 movies over the weekend. Since I am trying to get this down before March 1 - if I am feeling good one day I am going to try and push a bunch out at once.

I will start the reveals later today after I eat lunch and do one last last check of the list

EDIT

Turned out to be only 360 matches. Math is hard

BALLOT LENGTH: 100 movies (1-100). You may also "vote" for up to 25 movies as Honorable Mention (I am not quite certain how I will score them but yeah)

BALLOTS EMAIL: DVDVRMAIL AT GMAIL DOT COM (In an ideal world you will submit your ballot 1-100 MOVIE TITLE, DIRECTOR, YEAR)

ELIGIBILITY: Anything that has a release date in IMDB of 12/31/16 or earlier

(More details in upcoming posts)

However - I will definitely listen to ideas for what should and should not count. Because I feel like some of the newer HBO and Netflix ones probably should could.

Actually the more I think about it - considering OJ: Made in America is the favorite to win the Oscar this year and that was ESPN - I am going to have to come up with something.

So all ideas are appreciated

What I will do - is post random stuff as I go through the list over and over if anyone cares

I might splice this over a few threads just to really help with load time.

No posting in here but me...

I will update this list as I get more ballots. I will also mention if I had a question about someone's ballot (I will also email at whatever address you emailed me your ballot from)

Battle for top Pixar film: Wall-E, Up and The Incredibles. Wall-E is the winner.

The Dark Knight will be Christopher Nolan’s highest entry.

Pulp Fiction will be the highest film directed by Quentin Tarantino.

Goodfellas will place the highest of Martin Scorsese’s movies.

City of God becomes the top foreign language film.

Directors with most representation: Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino. Quick count, I see five Tarantino films making the countdown.

I was going to ask the films you do/don’t want to do well but that may go into spoilers so I’ll wait.

Similar to the decade polls - now in honor of the DVDVR anniversary we go whole hog. BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME

Basically - you can vote for any movie as long as it has a release date in IMDB of no later than DEC 31, 2016

BALLOTS DUE: January 1, 2017 (clearly a tentative date)

BALLOT LENGTH: 100 movies (1-100). You may also "vote" for up to 25 movies as Honorable Mention (I am not quite certain how I will score them but yeah)

BALLOTS EMAIL: DVDVRMAIL AT GMAIL DOT COM (In an ideal world you will submit your ballot 1-100 MOVIE TITLE, DIRECTOR, YEAR)

PICK AMONGST YOUR CHILDREN!!!

JT - DON'T USE YOUR IMDB RANKINGS!
