I have already backed two films, but I am going to back some additional films. I will add my backing to Day of the Triffids and Village of the Damned.

When we start the Vote for #21 and #22, I don't remember us counting the old votes, I was pretty sure we were starting a new vote. ? If not, then I was confused. The whole approach seems like a new vote.

If you think about it, after you vote for many films for the top 20, and after the discussions, many of us revise our minds on the films, and new top films surface. People may, and obviously do, vote for different films. If old votes count, I'm not sure we all know that's happening, and we need to post if we are removing our old votes. I certainly had the impression #21 & #22 Vote was it's own vote.

On the other decades, the old backings were kept.

Yes, thank you, Mett! Good clarification: Day of the Triffids and Invasion of the Triffids is the same film.

OK, so the votes we made for the Top 20 stay, and are counted, when we start the Vote for #21 & #22. Got it. I'll have to keep that in mind. Thanks!


Then vote count at this post spot is:

Day of the Triffids (1962) - (backed by Sculpt, seconded by Kandarian Demon, metternich1815)
The Last Man on Earth (1964) - (backed by The Villain, seconded by realdealblues, Kandarian Demon)
The Raven (1963) - (backed by neverending, seconded by Kandarian Demon, realdealblues)
The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) - (backed by neverending, seconded by The Villain, metternich1815)

Can we get another vote for the fine film based on the excellent British science fiction writer John Wyndham -- Day of the Triffids?

If I have misunderstood something, then someone can correct me, but I am pretty sure I am correct.

You are :) If I'm allowed to back all of the 4 movies I picked, then my backings for those movies all stay.

And I'm a "she", by the way :D

Sculpt, I have to ask you again, STRONGLY, to refrain from the vote counts. All you are doing is confusing everyone else a lot more. Please leave the counts to me and me ONLY. You just support the films you want in, and give your reasons why you support a particular film/set of films.

Don't try to host the whole thing all over. If you feel you can do a better job than me, please tell me so and I will gladly hand over all the project work sheets to you. Thank you in advance.

All this confusion has sprung up because people are overlooking a reply made yesterday by metternich1815:-

Please note that in the compiled List for the 60s, support for Honorable Mentions means your name in the brackets is NORMAL, not ITALIC. Check the post which finalised the 50s for details on the same. So, if your backing/seconding is for the Honorable Mentions, your name won't be ITALICISED.

I have separated the backings for the Honorable Mentions under curly brackets ({}) and marked with an asterisk (*). I hope that makes things more clearer now.

Please clarify if this is for the final 2 spots, or for the Honorable Mentions, because your original 2 backings were for Honorable Mentions.

Sorry, I naturally call people hes, especially when profile names are not the people's real names. I, generally, try to avoid using the adverb of he and she here, but I accidentally used it. Anyway, sorry about that.

I guess I will back Village of the Damned and Little Shops of Horror for top 22 and I will back Invasion of the Triffids and Hour of the Wolf for honorable mention (although I would like to back more films when we actually move to the honorable mention section). I guess I am sort of confused because I thought you could back more than two films to fill the slots. It was just that, ultimately, only two films would make it. I am fine with The Raven and The Last Man on Earth for the two slots though. I assume my backing will carry over to honorable mention?
