Presentation will be in this thread.
Hope to see everyone here, voters or otherwise.
In the meantime, some tidbits of information will follow in the next post.

Some early fun facts.... 317 films received one or more votes. The most number one votes for any film was only 2, which 5 films received. We ended up with 2 ties in the Top 25, but neither of them are in the Top 10. The 50 - 26 portion has a few more. I won't be breaking the ties. The poll had 8 different leaders, which is 7 more than the Male Actors poll had  . As a little teaser, the films which just missed the cut from 60/61 - 51 down are... 60 Cries and Whispers
60 Long Day's Journey Into Night
58 Love, Actually
58 Dog Day Afternoon
57 The Best Years of Our Lives
54 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
54 Traffic
54 Seven Samurai
52 Rashomon
52 Dazed and Confused
51 The Lion in Winter

Will the red carpet and the gala still be up even with the COVID-19 scare? Of course. Word on the fashion grapevine is that hazmat suits will be trending. |

A few more bits of mildly interesting information before we start...
The most mentioned film appeared on 20 ballots out of 32.
One film made it into the Top 50 based on only 2 ballot appearances.
One film with a #1 placing received no other votes.

I'll be presenting the 50 - 26 results over five posts, then the Top 25 will all have their own posts, although we do have two ties in there unfortunately.
50 - 46 will be up shortly.

Off to a very good start but Long Day's Journey Into Night missing the top 50 hurts because as far as plays into films it may be the best ......even more than Woolf and some others......

I love that Murder By Death made it into the top 50. Such a great mystery comedy, and the cast is used perfectly.  |

The Princess Bride was robbed of a Top 10 spot, but at least it appeared.
