I'm good with the +3 movies moving forward

sounds good

By adding the 6 remaining films from the 2 nominations section which had the most support, we now stand at 63 chosen films.

I expect to find at least 20 more from this section, because we won't have much to go through with from the remainder, because the films in the backburner section are the ones with the most negations. This is a call for fresh voting from everyone, so PLEASE don't be hasty or quick before reaching your decision. Our final 100 has reached a certain level of quality with the 63 chosen ones till now, so let's maintain the quality with the remaining 37 selections. |
I'd like to add my support to one more film: The Karate Kid - an expert crafting of sincerity, both in directing and also the acting of Macchio, Morita and Shue.

Added support for Karate Kid into the list above.
It's a call for fresh voting from the remaining films, so all of you can vote again for those which you feel should make the cut for the final 100. I'll wait till some of you go ahead, before putting my choices forward. |
I'm not really clear about the fate of 'backburner' films. Although, as you say, some of them have the most negations, they also have the most initial votes, and are most likely to get more additional supportive votes when looking comparatively at the 'big list'.
As a fake example, maybe Shawshank Redemption got 3 negs, but had 2 initial support votes, and an additional 1 vote during discussion, for a total of +0. If we 19-some folks look at all those +1 films, four people who haven't chimed in on Shawshank may say Shank is better than most of the '+1 films', and thus make it a +4 film. For that reason, would you list the backburner films that have not made it into the Top 100 films? |

I'd say the films with any/all support in the 1-nomination list get precedence here. Instead of making things more complicated by adding those in the backburner, let's finish completely with the 1-nominations. Once we finish rustling through this list, we shall tackle all the remaining films, including the ones in the backburner. There are still 37 films (+25 Honorable Mentions) needed, so we need at least 20-25 out of this present lot. The backburner films can fill any/few slots remaining. |
If anyone supports any of these films for our 100, post.
Children of a Lesser God TOOTSIE Terms of Endearment World According to Garp Reds (1981) Dangerous Liaisons The Matrix Apollo 13 Edward Sissorhands Dead Poet's Society NETWORK ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN Born on the Fourth of July Goldfinger (1964) Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) Leaving Las Vegas (1995) Miracle on 34th Street (1947) Rain Man (1988) Fiddler on the Roof (1971) Topper 1937 Rebecca (1940) Fantastic Voyage I don't think I cast support for these yet: THE DEER HUNTER Day the Earth Stood Still Planet of the Apes (1968) |
I'm still pretty new to the forums, so could someone explain this to me?

Due to lack of interest/voters/supporters, I'll have to close this compilation.
No choice. |
Thank you for your work on it V. I really enjoyed participating. I thought it was a great idea. It's obvious to me our HDC members know a great deal about films of all genres. Maybe it's timing. Maybe more a Winter event.

To make things a bit easier, I propose to move all 1-vote films with +2 beside them into the final 100 list. What say? (Continued...) |
These are the films which have been tossed into the backburner because of strong negations during initial discussions. Number beside them indicates initial votes that they had garnered during the Master List compilation.
I had initially kept this batch for a final debate to fill any remaining spots in the final 100, after we had rummaged through the 1-vote films. But let's have a discussion on all of them, in case any of them makes a case for itself over and above the 1-vote films. |
I don't think we should over-empower a negative post.
Including a film with 1 vote (say "Scum"), and eliminating a film with 4 votes (say "The Matrix") doesn't make much sense. Plus, I remember some were posts like "ya, I don't think that's one of the best". Doesn't mean they think that the film with 4 votes is worse than the one with 1 vote. Just looking at these backburner films: (don't care) means not negging the film, I just don't care about it. The Matrix - 4 (I think it's definitely one of the best films all-time) Edward Scissorhands - 3 (I think it's definitely one of the best films all-time) Pulp Fiction - 3 (I think it's definitely one of the 100 best films all-time) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - 2 (very good film) Twelve Monkeys - 3 (good film) Die Hard - 3 (good film) The Terminator - 3 (good film) Titanic - 3 (good film) Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - 2 (good film, don't care) Once Upon a Time in the West - 4 (don't care) Back To The Future - 3 (don't care) Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl - 2 (This is the original, entertaining, don't care) Gravity - 2 (don't care) Independence Day - 2 (entertaining, don't care) |
