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

seen in the past 12 months.

I think if you did it at the same time as the Oscars, it wouldn't compete as much with islander's poll - the timing is different, and also with Oscar season more people make more effort over Jan-Feb to see movies that are in the awards discussion.

One thing that stuck out to me was the diversity - 27 responses and 179 movies meant that the top movie was only on 11 people's lists, and the tenth-ranked movie was only on four lists.

I think I'd tighten that up somehow on future polls - like have a nominations poll to pick a pool of top movies of the year, and then an award poll to select the top 10. (Or a bracket battle, or something)

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'm laughing. i got enough responses to consider doing an end of year poll, but two obstacles Moviesnob Aug 16, 13:48

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
