FYC Female Directed Films:I just posted Olivier, Olivier in the "Last Great Performance" thread by Agnieszka Holland - who had a great 3 film run and made some other fine films later too after going off the rails a bit - The Angry Harvest (1985), Europa, Europa (1990), Olivier, Olivier (1992) - she's a major, often forgotten figure and had a hand in writing many fine films too.....not just those 3.....  |

Some Latin America/Rest of the World movies to consider (warning... some of these may be tenuous) in case anyone needs their brain poking awake:
The non-English language work of Guillermo Del Toro, Alfonso Cuaron, and their obnoxiously pompous fellow Three Amigo. The Del Toro movies may be as much Spanish as anything else, but as we say here in this thread - fuck it.
City of God, The Motorcycle Diaries, Monos, Black Orpheus, Pablo Larrain movies, Sebastian Lelio movies.
Peter Weir, the Mad Max movies, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, The Battle of Algiers, District 9, Once Were Warriors, Tsotsi, BABE, Whale Rider, Walkabout, Animal Kingdom, Goldstone, Tracker, Strictly Ballroom, Nitram, The Proposition, Chopper, Atlantics, Peter Jackson stuff...

Great idea this! But I'm a bit disappointed there isn't and Top 10 African Films and shoved that continent in the Rest Of World, which should have included only Oceania and Antartica, so I could have included stuff like Rapa Nui.
Also, would you have Mexico in North America or Latin America? Because, technically, it fits in both (as do all countries in central America and the Caribbean). I'll include then in Latin America for this poll.
Anyway, here are some FYC's:
Latin America: La Flor (2018), The Given Word (1962), The Last Supper (1976), Lucia (1968), Canoa: A Painful Memory (1976)
Rest Of World: Harvest: 3,000 Years (1975), The Night Of Counting The Years (1969), The Nightingale’s Prayer (1959), Camp De Thiaroye (1988), Utu (1983)
Female Directors: Where Do We Go Now? (2011), Vagabond (1985), Europa Europa (1990), Sambizanga (1972), The House Is Black (1963), The Cave Of The Yellow Dog (2005)

Also, definitely counting Central America in with Latin America, but as I've said, there's no hard and fast rules here.  |

Unless there are any objections... Methinks the polls shall close on the evening of Wednesday Jan 4th, and whatever mess of a result we are left with shall be presented on Saturday Jan 7th.

I just want to make clear that all of the people who voted in the 800 million+ category for The Lion King, I just assumed you were all voting for the Beyonce movie because none of you specified. J/K They literally cast a bunch of black people because the lions were from Africa |

I gotta tell ya… the 90 minutes or less category is the funniest collection of films you will see grouped together anywhere any time soon, and the 800 million dollar category is some dramatic bombastic shit only films that have grossed 800 million dollars at the box office could produce. Everyone not voting in every category has also resulted in some hilariously random results that just keep the whole thing fucked up in the most wonderful way, AND THERE ISN’T A SINGLE TIE IN THE WHOLE BUNCH!  SATURDAY (or sunday, depending on location) |

All credit to DeepArcher for the name, and thanks for letting me use it  ALRIGHT, IT'S SHOWTIME! First of all, thank you to the voters. Thank YOU for keeping democracy alive. stephen Martin Stett countjohn JangoB Tyler Joaquim popperthekungfudragn mhynson2 pacinoyes DeepArcher Sharbs SZilla Mattsby Nikon DingoMatty Amanda thomasjerome themoviesinner amiableamy avnermoriarti pashalis7 Tommen_Saperstein Viced Javi (and me…) I'm going to start with the continental categories, and given they were one pick/one vote instead of ranked like the other categories there are obviously ties. We still have a top 10 in each category, presented in reverse order by number of votes received. Also, for co-productions I have left out the non-relevant country of origin to suit our agenda. For the ranked categories: Tiebreaking procedure:- (1) In result of tie, the film featured on more ballots gets the higher spot. The needs of the few outweigh the needs of the even fewer. (2) If films appear on same amount of ballots then the film with more number 1 placements gets the higher spot. (3) If both films have the same amount of/no number 1 placements then the film with the highest other placing gets the higher spot. (4) If both films have the same highest placing spot then the film that appeared at that spot more often gets the higher spot. (5) THAT BROKE ALL THE TIES! LET'S GET ON WITH THIS SHIT ALREADY! Lastly, in the event of typos, formatting errors, or you not liking the results...  |
