I say this to hopefully put you in the most lucid state of mind in order to fully ENJOY this: you have to realise it is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE that every film our group of 17 people choose will be films you personally think should be in the top 100 films. Because that would just be your list. The reality is 75% of the films will not be what you'd appraise for 100 films. That's an accurate estimation, wouldn't you agree? This is an easychair exercise of fun when you do it with 17 other folks.  |
I think what Straker is saying here is 100 is a limited number when there are actually so many deserving candidates out there in considering not only American but world cinema as a whole. Any ardent movie fan may get frustrated while be a part of such wonderful & massive project & when he or she sees some 'great' movies have initially started to filling the spots in final/top 100
when there's still a big number of 'greater or greatest' movies (& which is also more than hundreds) are still left/waiting for consideration; moreover, plenty of them even failed to get a single nomination in the initial voting process.
But yeah...I agree with you, Sculpt that it's actually or literally impossible to satisfy everyone while we're conducting this kind of compilation with a range of people with different tastes in movies. There's not a single "Top/Best..." movie list ever created that made everyone happy, IMO.
Btw, have you guys played on
flickchart? Ranking your own movie list by choosing between a choice of 2... it's a great time-killer!
