In stuff like this one needs to take general consensus into account. If I just took 256 movies that I thought were the best, I would've plugged my top 100 in and built off of that. Rocky Horror Picture Show is a well-regarded movie 'round these parts, so I included it. If you don't want to vote, then don't vote.
Also, the best documentary ever is in there, I guess you just missed it. And you misspelled "The Five Obstructions" |

Is it OK if we dont vote on every matchup?
I think it's pretty common knowledge that Im pretty behind on my movie watching....I'd like to vote, but there are tons of matches where Ive seen neither movie:o |
I've actually been meaning to ask people about that.
Yeah, don't vote for what you don't want, since other people have been doing that. But, when you guys don't vote for something, that kinda leaves me in an odd position. Should I just ignore the match you don't vote for or should I decide which movie gets the point? |
I'll have to see The Five Obstructions, I hadn't heard anything about it until now and I'm anxious to see it. One of my favorite docs didn't make it either but oh well. Sang des bêtes, Le (or Blood of the Beasts) was quite a watch, powerful stuff.
The films I didn't vote for fall into two catagories. Movies I haven't seen or movies where I didn't care for either option. I think adding your own points would throw it off and personally think just not adding any points is the way to go there. |
that's what I was thinking. At the start when people were omitting movies and some matches had no votes either way was when I was considering attributing points myself.

I like the way this tournament doesn't have a "best foreign movie" section but instead includes them all. Great start STE, can't wait for the finish.

BTW, the "Hamlet" in question is the 1996 Kenneth Brannagh version, in case anybody was wondering

A few of these votes are based on reputation alone....
