RIPPA Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) BALLOTS DUE: January 17, 2017 (a little more of a firm date now) 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) Edited January 16, 2017 by RIPPA Updated due date 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 HOW A BALLOT SHOULD LOOK (I am just using IMDB's rankings for this. Don't wanna trigger Fowler and Jae) 1) THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (Darabont, 1994) 2) THE GODFATHER (Coppola, 1972) 3) THE GODFATHER: PART TWO (Coppola, 1974) And so forth till 100 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 HOW HONORABLE MENTION WORKS You may select UP TO 25 more movies (in no particular order) to list as your Honorable Mention Please use the same formatting as your regular list so like ROCKY (Avildsen, 1976) ROCKY II (Stallone, 1979) THE ROCK (Bay, 1996) ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (Sharman, 1975) Again - MAX 25 Honorable Mentions. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PICK A FULL 25! YOU DON'T HAVE TO PICK ANY! I am not 100% sure how I will credit them yet - mainly because I want to make sure it doesn't fucking up the scoring and I won't know how that goes until I have ballots. I will explain all before I release the results though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 RANDOM OTHER EXPLANATIONS! (IE: Making it All About Myself) Okay - I moved the ballot due date to Jan 10 for two reasons. 1) After Wednesday, I don't return to work until Jan 10 so I might as well maximize my own viewing time 2) I am making two different trips up to NY over the course of 2 weeks - the 2nd one is Jan 3, 4 and 5. So no sense in collection ballots when I won't be home to start doing anything with them. Now I do ask that if you really like your ballot - send it in. Don't wait till Jan 10. That way I can start compiling ahead of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 That is up to you But do remember I am old 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 A suggestion on the honorable mentions: you could use them for tie-breaker situations, if two movies have the same score the one with more honorable mentions wins. This only works if at least one of the films has an honorable mention but it won't impact the actual scoring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Just assume that any movies on my list from 2075 is because my brain is having an impossible time not starting each year with 20-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 That okay - @jaedmc tried to claim one of the movies from the 70s actually came out in 1926 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I'm working on it tomorrow, but due to life, it might take me another day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 I just want to repeat myself here - for those who think they aren't "qualified" to submit a ballot. You haven't seen the ballots I have gotten so far. Y'all have seen at least 100 movies you think are very good or beyond. Send me a list. The more I get - the better this project is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yeah - this is why compiling is gonna be a treat. Entered 3 ballots so far and have over 300 different movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If I send you one, it'll be in excel, so all you'll have to do probably is just copy and paste. My column headers are #, Film, Director, Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The kvetching is over. I will send my ballot sometime this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 What Chaos said. My ballot is in Excel with nice column headers (Rank, Movie, Director, Year Released). As a matter of fact, it should be on the way in like ten minutes or less. EDIT: Or less! I have sent my ballot! Let the hand wringing begin!

RIPPA Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Also - if anyone sends me a corrected/updated ballot just make sure you give me the heads up (here or PM works) as I wanna make sure I enter the correct version EDIT - this also covers if you decide to add honorable mentions to your list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Way too much wiggle room for me. if I sent you seven "corrected" ballots, I would argue that they were all correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have to send you a corrected ballot because I have 2001 A Space Odyssey on there twice. EDIT: Fixed and resubmitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Forgot, I will send mine today, soon as I finish ranking the last 20 movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
