Heima, Iceland, Dean Deblois, 2007
The Fountain, USA, Darren Aronofsky, 2006 (doesn’t stand a hope in hell at gettting in the final 100 but I love it so I’m still gonna nominate it)
Nice to see some people got to Innocence and All About Lily Chou-Chou before me. Also sorry about all my nominations being from the 21st century…
sorry jaime but you are wrong
none of my movies figure in the imdbtop250
not even brokeback mountain and watchmen…they used to figure some months ago but now not anymore
Damn, Memories of Murder is already there, I’ll replace it with:
The Good, the Bad and the Weird (2008, Joon-ho Bong, S. Korea)
nice choice with the good the bad and the weird….
but the director is ji-woon kim
I am not so sure about the jury votes. But something similar to that, I propose that people can challenge films that would be included in the final list. For example, I can challenge Film A and replace it with Film B by giving a review/comment/mini-essay/whatever about Film B and why it should be in the list instead of Film A in a separate thread: “Film B challenging Film A”. And users can either give a YES or a NO depending on whether whatever I wrote was convincing or not. If it gets more YES than NO, it’s in the list.
I guess the voting idea isn’t bad, but since this is about overlooked films I think there should be a limit to how many votes a film has on imdb, say like a film has to have no more than 5000 votes to be eligible.
I guess most people think the new idea’s better.
So I guess it’s my say on how people should vote for the films, bohahahahaha.
limit of giving
5 points- 3 times to 3 different films
2 points- 5 times to 5 different films
1 point- 10 times to 10 different films
limit of reducing
5 points- 2 times to 2 different films
2 points- 3 times to 3 different films
1 point- 5 times to 5 different films
You can vote for films you have already voted
BONUS:
2 films you haven’t seen but you think would be great for the list = instant 5 points for each
OR if you don’t agree with this,
2 more films you have seen (given that you need to give a review/mini-essay/comment, at least three long paragraphs, for each)= instant 5 points for each You cannot use a review that you have already made for The Auteurs. That’s laziness.
That gives a total of 30 votes for each user.
Prehaps we should just count the aggregate of all the votes? In fact they can be stars, so it’ll be like The Auteurs system but all the votes are internal – we know who voted what so no skewing.
I meant, you can vote for films you have nominated^ haha. I’m still half-asleep, I guess.
@ Law: How do you propose to go on about it?
Born to be Bad (Ray)
Borom Sarat (Sembene)
L’eden et après (Robbe-Grillet)
Film (Beckett)
Identificazione di una donna (Antonioni)
Je t’aime, je t’aime (Resnais)
Michael (Dreyer)
One Hamlet Less (Bene)
The Others (Santiago)
Patió (Rocha)
Phantom (Murnau)
Le pont du nord (Rivette)
Pour la suite du monde (Perrault)
The Structure of Crystals (Zanussi)
Who Are You, Polly Maggoo? (Klein)
Le pont du nord (Rivette)
Excellent choice, Adam..
Rokurota: I would have posted Love Exposure too, but you got ahead, as well as with many of them. Hehe, also I tend to confound those tow directors, don’t really know why.
Free Radicals (Lye, UK)
Radio Dynamics (Fischinger, USA)
Film No. 3: Interwoven (Smith, USA)
Dimensions of Dialogue (Svankmajer, Czechoslovakia)
Hold Me While I’m Naked (Kuchar, USA)
I also think Out 1: Noli me tangere should be allowed if only Out 1: Spectre is ineligible. They’re as different as Rose Hobart and the Hollywood B-movie that provided the source material.
EDIT: Didn’t see that Kaurismaki’s Ariel was already nominated.
@Angel
None of the cut’s of Touch of Evil are actually Welle’s final cut of the film. While Out 1:spectre and Out 1: Noli me Tangere are purposely two different cut’s with almost completely different narratives made by Rivette at his will. I don’t think they are at all comparable.
I’ll exchange my selection of the Puppetmaster for Marketa Lazarová if thats okay.
I Only Want You to Love Me (1976, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, West Germany)

Great list and great username, Marc.
Safe is in the TSPDY list, though.
I’ll exchange it for Far From Heaven (2002), by the same awesome director.
Extra 6 if not already nominated
FRANCE
Judex (Georges Franju)
SWEDEN
Picassos Aventyr (Tage Danielsson)
SENEGAL
Hyènes (Djibril Diop Mambéty)
YOU TELL ME :)
Het Dak van den Walvis/On Top of the Whale (Raoul Ruiz)
US (?)
The Limits of Control (Jim Jarmusch). No kidding!
FRENCH/ITALIAN BORDER (:p)
Dalla nube alla resistenza (Straub/Huillet)
And ok, this is how I plan to go on about it based on the suggestions.
The voting will take place in 3 months so anyone can vote whichever film whenever they please during that amount of time.
5 Stars = +2
4 Stars = +1
3 Stars = 0
2 Stars = -1
1 Star = -2
One can only vote for films one has seen. No need to be lying, there’s no point really.
One can also not vote for the films that one has nominated. I can easily check. Instead, one can write a mini-essay, review, argument, etc., at least 3-5 paragraphs, why the film they nominated should be included in the final list. And depending on whether it was convincing or not, others could say YES or NO, along with some comments about the original argument about the film. And if there are more YES’s than NO’s, that deserves +4 points. If otherwise, no points at all then. No point reusing a review about the film that you’ve made in The Auteurs. That’s just laziness. And one person can only do this a maximum of three times, no matter what the results are so if you got NO’s for each one, you can’t make another three more arguments again.
There is no limit as to how many films you plan to rate as long as you watched the film.
So, as soon as the voting period takes place, one can give points and deduct points to all the movies one has watched. Comments are also appreciated and also part of why we’re doing this. For example:
Film A: +1
Film B: 0
Film C: +2
Film D: -1
Film E: -2
Film F: -2
You get the idea.
The deadline for the submission of films will be on Tuesday, 12:01 am. if everything goes well.
@Wally

Ummm, if not Comrades (glad to know it’s there) then … hummm… oh I’ve got to go, Sorry, I owe you one more Brit and one more Frenchie, OK?. About two hours?
