slipjig3Dear shiny gods, you're likely asking, is he actually doing this again? You bet'cher Cracklin' Oat Bran I am.
This is usually an every-other-year event, but thanks to some recent conversations I've been champing at the bit, and I'm really only two months early, and insert your own thin rationalization here. So without any further ado, drum roll, please:
Adam's 2010 LiveJournal Greatest Movies of All Time Survey
What I require of you:
1) In a comment to this post, give me your list of the 10 greatest movies of all time. Define the word "greatest" by whatever criteria you like, be it "favorite" or "most important" or whatever. Only feature-length theatrical films will be eligible (even if it was just a showing or two at a film festival or one week in Podunk); direct-to-video, made-for-TV and short-subject titles are not eligible. Also, please only nominate individual films, not series of films. Items that do not fit these criteria will be ignored in the final scoring.
2) Please make sure your list is in order, or as close as you can make it. In other words, #1 will be your top choice, #2 will be your second choice, and so on. I used to allow participants to submit lists "in no particular order," but since 2009 I've been using a modified scoring system that won't allow for that. (If sorting your list is proving difficult, at least make sure your top two or three are in order; the scoring system puts the majority of the weight at the high end of the scale, so that the difference between #1 and #2 is much greater than, say, between #9 and #10.)
3) Please do not look at other people's responses until you've handed in yours. I don't want lists that amount to, "Oh, yeah, I forgot about that one! *typetype*" Also, changes are not allowed once your list is submitted; any changes made after the fact will be considered invalid.
4) If you can, please pimp this out in your journal. The more, the merrier! Every time I go in hoping for 100 lists or more, but even though the number of responses has increased pretty much every time, I still haven't quite made it. So yes, I need your help. Please point at me!
5) Deadline: 10 a.m., Monday, November 15. Results to be posted as soon after that as I can get them calculated.
As always, I look forward to seeing your lists, and thank you all again!
