Country Poll: Mexico [CLOSED]

#1

Post by Fergenaprido »

Overview of the Project
Schedule

Google Sheet

February 2023: Mexico


Rules
* You may vote for a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 20 titles.
* Feature films, documentaries, shorts, made-for-tv movies, direct-to-video movies, TV mini-series, and TV episodes from anthology series are all eligible.
* One country per film - IMDB is used as a guideline, but Fergenaprido will be the final arbiter for uncertain cases.
* All ballots are considered ranked unless otherwise stated.
* You must include a list of bare imdb URLs along with your ballot (preferably within a spoiler tag), otherwise your ballot will be disqualified.

Scoring
For ranked ballots, the top-ranked title will receive the number of points equal to the number of titles on the ballot, with each successive title receiving one point less.
I.e. A list with 20 titles means #1 has 20 points, #2 has 19 points, and #20 has 1 point; a list with 5 titles means #1 has 5 points, #2 has 4 points, and #5 has 1 point.

For unranked ballots, each title will receive an equal share of the total points that would have been allotted it the ballot had been ranked.
I.e. A list with 20 titles means each title would receive 10.5 points; a list with 5 titles means each title would receive 3 points.

Resources:
Mexican films sorted by number of votes*
Mexican films sorted by your rating on imdb*
Wikipedia article on Cinema of Mexico
*due to imdb allowing films to be attributed to more than one country, many titles in this filter may be ineligible for this poll if Mexico is not the primary country of production. Decisions about uncertain films will be listed in the second post of this thread.

Many thanks to Rufus-T & gromit82 for the framework from the Year by Year polls, and to maxwelldeux for the Excel template.

I think it's supposed to be the 2003 film with the same title, as that's the one linked to in the URL. The 1974 film is Argentinian, while the 2003 one is Mexican.

I've seen both the 1974 and 2003 films, but for some reason got the two mixed up when I went to look up the films. I liked the 1974 version more than the 2003 one so I deleted it from my list. Thanks, guys.

Santa Sangre? Really?? I've got it as Italian - see this credits: a Claudio Argento production. I can understand it's Mexican in many ways - I love to rank it (high!) too - but didn't consider it for my Mexican list.... So can you dive deeper into this matter??

As for my list: I planned a small Mexican theme in March, but I'm expediting it to February now. MUBI currently has a great selection of Arturo Ripstein and other 70-ies films. I think Mexico is my favourite Latin-American film country so a Top 20 will be no problem!

It appears you are correct. Thanks for the screenshot. Looked into it elsewhere and it was indeed a project started in Italy that brought on Jodorowsky as director. I've submitted a correction to the imdb credits, which listed Mexico first.

So, Santa Sangre is not eligible.

Hey RBG, welcome to the project! Just checking, is this a ballot or are you asking for eligibility rulings for these films. And if it's a ballot, is it unranked?
