As a reminder, I'll accept revisions until I wake up tomorrow morning. I feel like there are people here who have hinted they'll be submitting one but haven't sent it to me yet
I'm sending mine in now!

I tried sending my list in last night, and then again just now, but both attempts seem to be stuck in my outbox, rather than my sent folder.

If it’s in your outbox, that just means swo hasn’t opened it yet. He may still be compiling the list member by member and hasn’t gotten to your message yet

Yeah, I haven't opened them yet, but I did receive them. I've been busy with work this morning, will tabulate the results relatively soon though

Thanks to everyone for your participation this round. I'll be releasing the results shortly in the next three posts. Here as usual is a guide to what the figures listed after each film represent, each separated with a slash mark:

1. Total points (50 for each #1 placement, 49 for each #2, etc.)
2. Number of lists the film appeared on (out of 37 submitted). If the film appeared in anyone's top 10, the number of top 10 appearances is also denoted in parentheses.
3. Highest placement of the film on any one list. If more than one person ranked the film this high, this is also denoted in parentheses.
4. Change in position from the 2012 list, with movements of 10 or more highlighted.

So for example, the 412/11(6)/2(x2)/+69 shown for Imitation of Life means that it scored 412 points and appeared on 11 lists (and six top 10s), with two people ranking it as high as #2. The film also moved up 69 positions from its placement on the 2012 list.

For the list of orphans, only figure #3 is displayed (the highest rank, not the score given).

If anyone would like me to PM them a list of how all of their picks fared in the overall tally (rather than having to scour through all of the results) it's a simple thing for me to do. Just let me know.

I'll open the 2010s thread in the next few days. In the meantime, feel free to continue discussion in this thread regarding the results of this project and to share your individual lists (including defenses of your poor-faring favorites).

Japanese cinema's popularity here seems to have (kinda sorta) collapsed.

Thanks swo! Nice to see we remain consistent and not

Speaking of... Can the two sole voters for Love in the Afternoon who managed to get it into the All Time List running identify themselves so we can appropriately show our appreciation

EDIT: I see one of you volunteered this willingly. Your cooperation with the prosecution will be noted.

Has any film ever ranked as high as Touch of Evil without being eligible for the All Time List?

Thanks swo!

My top 20 + Orphans

1. The Flowers of St. Francis
2. North By Northwest
3. My Sister Eileen
4. Diary of a Country Priest
5. Rebel Without a Cause
6. Touch of Evil
7. Peyton Place
8. Man of the West
9. Pickpocket
10. Lili

11. Stromboli
12. The Band Wagon
13. To Catch a Thief
14. Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe
15. All About Eve
16. Les tricheurs (ORPHAN)
17. Kiss Me Deadly
18. Anatomy of a Murder
19. Baby Doll
20. The Blue Gardenia

36. The Big Sky

(As I cope with resentment for this board's ignorance of Touch of Evil, I turn to Francis' teachings to find gratitude in seeing Peyton Place go from orphan status to making the final list! Also Detective Story, The Long Gray Line, The Blue Gardenia, The Gunfighter, and The Flavor of Green Tea Over Rice are some other flowers)

And I've seen 99/100

I'm disappointed that not a single avant-garde film made the cut, and in such an exciting decade for the scene! I suppose that with these projects, the discussions will always be more interesting than the lists. Oh well, shout out to my fellow Lye, Kubleka, et al. voters. And also to the only other member who voted for Kiss Me Kate 3D and put it in the exact same slot as I did. The first three numbers alone would make it one of the decade's highlights.

Top 10 & orphans:

01 Bigger Than Life
02 Ohayô
03 Ordet
04 The Wrong Man
05 Mon Oncle
06 Hiroshima Mon Amour
07 Artists and Models
08 Johnny Guitar
09 NY, NY
10 Princess Yang Kwei-Fei (also orphan)

11 Window Water Baby Moving
35 All Souls Carnival
39 Cairo Station
44 Last Spring
49 Joan of Arc at the Stake
50 The Fountain of Youth

It was on my shortlist of rescues but all I had room for was the Godard short. Maybe karma will hit next decade which has my two favorite Welles after Touch of Evil (though not being able to include it in my top fifty feels like a curse itself)
