i'm laughing. i got enough responses to consider doing an end of year poll, but two obstacles

1) would it be different from Islander's wrap up of his weekly polls? Would it diminish it? I dont want that. 

2) would have to wait until Feb probably so that the oscar bait end of year films reached a saturation release so everyone could see them. That might feel too late. 

I do think I'll get more repsonses since its easier to look back over the last year than the last 15

The top 15 films from the #fav7films twitter hastag Moviesnob Aug 16, 12:51

Weird to combine all films from a franchise, when some are way better than others. {nm} numbersix_99 Aug 16, 13:09

So, we found the hashtag answered by men aged 35-50 (I'm joking kinda, but...:)... TwoMisfits Aug 16, 13:13

how was our list skewed (meant as a serious question)? {nm} Moviesnob Aug 16, 13:22

what was male to female responses, like 25-4 or so {nm} islander Aug 16, 13:27

thats pretty consistent with the demo on this board, no? {nm} Moviesnob Aug 16, 13:30

A few things... TwoMisfits Aug 16, 13:29

The poll never said it was representative of the greater population, just this board, which is heavy male. Moviesnob Aug 16, 13:36

Sorry, you said it was a serious question...I misinterpreted what you wanted:)... TwoMisfits Aug 16, 13:49

I agree with the second paragraph. We'll diagree on the sample size because i dont think all 114 Moviesnob Aug 16, 14:01

And the poll was pretty great for what it was... TwoMisfits Aug 16, 14:05

very true! tastes are fickle {nm} Moviesnob Aug 16, 14:07

Heck, you know I answered it and I thanked you for doing it, so I found it very worthwhile... TwoMisfits Aug 16, 14:12

Two of the top four films were about a man pining for a love he can never have. We're a bunch of friend-zoned losers! {nm} RogerMore Aug 16, 13:35

#2 was about a jealous lesbian, dont forget that demo! {nm} Moviesnob Aug 16, 13:38

2 movies with Asian ultra-violence. {nm} RogerMore Aug 16, 13:43

(but I'm being tongue in cheek, and regret not participating. I felt I hadn't seen enough great movies in the past few years to be credible) {nm} RogerMore Aug 16, 13:44

I dunno - most people can reel off ten good movies they've seen in the past decade, but might be hard-pressed to name the five best they've RogerMore Aug 16, 14:08

i kinda love that ive never seen shawshank, jaws, or big leb {nm} islander Aug 16, 13:21

You got city hands islander. Been counting money all your life. {nm} Quint Aug 16, 13:25

one day i'll get this reference! {nm} islander Aug 16, 13:28

do watch all three. I would say you actually need to call into work tomo to watch them and make a day out of it. {nm} lobogotti Aug 16, 13:33

if you worked for lobo, he'd probably join you! {nm} tealfan Aug 16, 17:13

We all need to work for Lobo - maybe he can open up some worldwide telework jobs and we can pursue this strategy:)... {nm} TwoMisfits Aug 16, 17:23

A while back he posted some pics of his cool offices, I remember being jealous {nm} islander Aug 16, 17:34
