I hope no one got way ahead on their 1990s list. We’re changing things up a bit and going in order. Doing the 2000s first (but save those 1990s lists...we'll get there).
For this poll, send coop032 and mhynson27 a ranked list of your top 50 films of the 2000s. We will be doing a normal Top 100 based on your top 25, but we will also be doing a Top 250 for fun based on everyone's top 50 (may not even do a presentation, but we just want to see how it turns out). Your #1 film will receive 25 point for one and 50 points for the other and so on. Any lists with less films will have less point value for their top picks like we normally do.
Any film that received its initial non-festival theatrical release between the dates of January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2009 will be eligible. If you aren't sure if something qualifies, please ask below and I or someone who knows better can respond.
Please message me your lists by July 14th. We'll probably tally these as they come in, but you can still make changes to your lists if you want. Just let us know. Please list all your FYCs and discussions in this thread too. Hoping to see love for all sorts of films and maybe we'll even turn each other on to a number of things some of us have never gotten around to or forgotten or maybe even never heard of!
Am I forgetting anything??? Okay, let's have some fun guys!!!!

I think a top 100 would be much easier for you.

I think a top 100 would be much easier for you. I don't have to go to work for another 2 months. I have so much time. And honestly, the tallying part really won't take me long at all. I'm just not sure how long it will take me to gather pictures, quotes, and posting all of them (and I really don't know how to do much with images on here, haha). But I'm up for the task and I think this sounds fun.

I think a top 100 would be more fun and easier to compile, personally. You have 250 movies and everything ever will be in the list somewhere. And there will be more skewing towards "boring" choices that everyone have seen if they have 50 movies in their ballots. Just my personal take on the issue.

I have no problem compiling everything...even seems fun these days. And I think seeing the placement for a whole ton of movies is fun too. The part that I really didn't consider is the more passionate small stuff not having as strong of a chance if a lot of people haven't seen as many films. But I don't know...let's just send the lists of 50 for now and I can always reduce it later if we all decide that's best. This sounded so much fun in my head haha.

Why not do the 2000s first?
Also, three weeks is not nearly enough time to have it open. I would want to catch a lot of stuff beforehand.

I definitely want to give anyone a chance to see everything they can before they vote. I don't know how much time I'll have once I go back to work though, so can't wait too long. How about I change it to close to the end of May? That should give us all plenty of time to catch up everything we missed from the decade, haha. Honestly though, if everyone really wants to give it awhile to catch, I can do it whenever. I just thought this would be something we could do while we're all quarantined.

I just thought this would be something we could do while we're all quarantined. Yeah of course, I totally get it. End of May might be good for the time being...maybe see what common consensus is. I also think we might wanna do a 2000s poll first too just to keep things in order, which just makes more sense to me though it's not a big deal I suppose.

Yeah, the other day it was mentioned that after we finish will all our AMARA's stuff, then we could do a 2000's poll, with one of us running it.

Yep, that was my initial thought process and I still think that could work. Especially as the current proposed deadline for this is the same as the AMARAs one ... we should still probably wait until after that so we don't pile these things on top of each other.

So I’m that guy who considers The Lord of the Rings and Kill Bill one film and kind of always consider that when I’m ranking. I’m guessing you guys don’t want to do that here but want to make it official?
Another film to consider is Grindhouse. As a whole it definitely makes my Top 50, but separate neither one does. So how should we go about that one?
Any other things you guys want to call out ahead of time?

In case you guys didn't see the edit in the OP, I'm going to be co-running the poll with Coop, so make sure to send your ballots to me as well.

One last thing I wanna point out before anyone sends in ballots ... if the 2010s poll had been a top 250, Sharknado 2 would've made it in ... just sayin'. Top 250 means a lot of things only one person voted for will make it on there, even with people sending in top 50s I imagine. And asking for 50 films from people is kind of a lot and might put off some people -- some people, not me. Just something to consider.

So how should we go about that one? Any other things you guys want to call out ahead of time? Should probably consider all of them separate films for the sake of the poll, I'd say. At least, that's what I imagine consensus would be, and that most people would vote separately. If y'all wanna consider LOTR as one, that makes my life easier and I'm all for it.

I figured people who frequent a movie site would easily have 50 films from an entire decade they love to contribute, but if that will make people not want to take part, please speak up. I won't be fun without people participating. BUt my list and the ones I've received so far are full of great films that I don't see any problem with being a part of the list if they make it. And even if we did a top 100 there's no difference if we just showed all the results. I don't know. We decided to just take the lists now and go from there. Does anyone not want to do a list just because it's 50 films?

Does anyone not want to do a list just because it's 50 films? I mean, I'm just hypothesizing, I could be very wrong. Maybe open up a poll at the top of this thread to see what people would prefer? Leave it open for a few days and see where we land. Like I said, I personally could of course list 50 great films from this decade I'd be satisfied with, it just might be too much for some people and I fear a top 250 presentation being too much work or getting out-of-hand. It also creates a weird inconsistency with the poll that has already been done. I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking it and we should just have fun.

I do see where you're getting at, but I don't think we'll know unless we give it a try. My only issue is if people won't vote only because it's 50 films. NO one has said they won't yet. I can't imagine it would take that long to put them together for everyone. And that kind of stuff is always fun for me so help everyone else sees it that way. Hoping we get plenty of people to participate. We'll see.

I feel 250 (and a ranked list of 50) gives the everyone's top films too much influence. We already got stuck with Bridge of Spies on the 10s list because someone ranked it #2 😂. I'd rather have it be consistent with the 10s list and stick with 100 (and a ranked list of 25).
Either way, saving for later.

Me and Coop are discussing it right now, as we actually kind of fall on opposite sides of this argument. We will get back to everyone with an official verdict shortly.
