1925 Poll

MovieGu​ide1

12 months ago

What I’m asking you to do is to fill a ballot with some titles of your own choice. 1925 must be the year of first release (according to IMDb).

- Each person votes for up to 20 movies. Do not feel compelled to fill the maximum allowable number, only true favorites.
– There is no need to rank the films except the number 1, it gets two points.
– You may change your ballot as many times as you’d like.

A certain standardization of the outcome is predictable, but it is not our goal to establish a Canon. It’s just a game and individual votes are the true centers of attraction.

Results will be presented in a specially created Movie List.

Thank you in advance for joining us in this game.

When will this poll end? I’m really looking forward to taking part! I’ve already watched The Gold Rush for this, and I’ve got a bunch of other things queued up (and will also be paying attention to the submitted ballots, of course). Fun times :)
