The One-Line Review Presents "The 50 Greatest Films"

I am currently organising a poll of filmmakers, academics, lecturers, historians, critics, reviewers, bloggers, cinephiles, cineastes, and dedicated film-lovers in general. If you consider yourself to be one or more of the above, I would like you to consider submitting a list of 50 films to me (a request that each individual should interpret for themselves – favourite, most cherished, most admired, the greatest, etc.) The deadline for entries is the 30th June 2009, and I intend to publish the results at the end of July/August at http://1linereview.blogspot.com/ (I will contact participators at the time.) There is a preview here: http://1linereview.blogspot.com/2008/09/one-line-review-presents-50-greatest.html

Should you be interested in taking part, please return your entry to onelinereview@hotmail.co.uk, listing your choice of 50 films* (plus comments if you’d like), the name that you would like to be shown as, any films, companies, publications, websites, blogs etc. that you are associated with that may be appropriate (including web addresses if possible), and any brief biographical information that you may wish to include.

• 50 films may be taken as merely an ideal, as a target, if you wish. A few people have taken a dislike to that particular number, some thinking it too many, some too few. I would be happy to accept any list between five and 100 titles; although, 50 would be the ideal.

Examples of some of the lists that I have received and published provisionally, from Dan Sallitt, Mike D’Angelo, and Jugu Abraham amongst others, can be accessed her:

Thank you

That sounds great. I shall begin compiling.

Yeah, I’ll get in on this.

Cool.
