[blocho]

Some of the titles that are not even making the top 100.

(I think it shows just how incredibly strong the "lineup" from the 60s really is)

The fact that Hud didn't even make 200 just blows my mind. All time great Paul Newman film, barely makes the list. wow.

You're not alone. Hud is an all-time favorite. Perhaps the best modern Western.

And Sword of Doom might be my favorite Samurai movie.

Cléo de 5 à 7 vs Le Bonheur
14 vs 8 official lists
4k vs. 1k checks
7.9 vs. 7.6 on IMDb
16k votes vs. 5k votes on IMDb

Interesting (and great) to see Le Bonheur winning the race two polls in a row, and getting a degree of respect it does not get all that often elsewhere.

And Sword of Doom might be my favorite Samurai movie.

Soy Cuba is also one which stands famously high (#37!) on Most Favorited since always, although a #69 rank in a decade like this is of course still strong.
Same for Letter Never Sent, one of our most beautiful forum mafia achievements probably?


Curious to see how the Top 50 will look like. Many of the absolute greatest Japanese to come: 2x Kobayashi and Kurosawa ..

Top10 Countries (films in Top 100)
US = 60 (14)
France = 28 (10)
Italy = 23 (8)
GB = 21 (4)
Japan = 20 (4)
Tschechslovakia = 11 (3)
Sovjetunion = 7 (1)
Poland = 4 (1)
Sweden = 4 (2)
India = 3 (1)

Top10 Directors (films in Top 100)
Godard = 8 (4)
Bergman = 4 (2)
Truffaut = 4 (1)

S. Ray = 3 (1)
Pasolini = 3 (0)
Kurosawa = 3 (0)
Wise = 3 (0)
Antonioni = 3 (3)
Bava = 3 (0)

... hope i count right

Since I fear Wakamatsu's window of opportunity has already passed, I'm quite disappointed in this list, especially seeing some of the films that did make it. That also means no film from my list made the results

Re: Torgo.
You can't easily compare iCM's Most Favorited with this, because the way it's compiled is completely different. In Most Favorited the position is a formula, which depends on checkcount. A movie with 100 favs on 200 checks will be higher than a movie with 200 favs on 20000 checks. However, this poll doesn't take checkcount into account, so a movie with thousands of checks (most in the top 100 here) have a lot more chance of getting votes, because more people from the participants have seen them. This is exactly what makes Most Favorited interesting: lessen known films get a chance to get into it, as long as people love it.

Of course they're not so much comparable But thanks for pointing that out.
Usually, popular titles from there will also have a very good standing in the forum, as shows. I'm just excited to see how it's all turning out, how the titans of every canon like 2001 & Psycho will do against ICM favorites like Seppuku & Human Condition III (and the arthouse titans in between, Bresson and the like).

But it's not the most active of polls in this edition, methinks. Others had more participants.
