ICM Forum's 500<400 2023 Edition : Nomination Thread : 99 Voters so far

ICM Forum's 500<400



Create an IMDb list or iCM list of your favorite films with fewer than 400 checks, and post it in this thread by 11:59AM GMT Oct 02.

You can submit a list in one of three ways:
1. Imdb list
2. ICM list
3. List of imdb urls if you can't make an imdb list.
Make sure your (imdb/icm) list is public!
If you can post the list as (username URL) I would appreciate it (see the formatting in the submitted lists below).

Your list may be:
Ranked (Default if you don't specify)
Unranked
Partially-ranked list: the top X films are ranked and everything after that point is unranked.
Group ranked list: all groups get the average of what the films in that group would get if fully ranked.

Rules:
- Films released in 2022 or 2023 are not allowed.
- Shorts, Documentaries and mini-series* are allowed. TV shows are not allowed.
* Mini-series must be 14 episodes or less, not multiple seasons, and not planned to be longer but canceled. The series should be intended as a single unified work and not episodic.
+Stand alone episodes of anthology type series are allowed if both the episode and series are under 400 checks.
- Films that reach 400 checks by the deadline will be removed (so you don't have to do it yourself, but if you do it's appreciated).
- The Lists will be downloaded at the very end of the Poll.
- You must post your own list in this thread (but you can ask someone to create an IMDb/ICM list for you, if you want).

Scoring for ranked lists: Half-life = 50
#1: 100 points
#51: 50 points
#101: 25 points
#N: 100 / 2 ^ ((N-1) / 50) points

Scoring for unranked and partially-ranked lists:
Every unranked film on your list receives the same number of points (the average of what they would have received if your list was ranked).

Some links to help you make your list:
Eligible titles that you've rated on IMDb (sorted by your rating)
Eligible titles from some IMDb list (replace lsXXXXXXXXX with any list ID #) (sorted by your rating)
Multi-links (Firefox), Linkclump (Chrome): Add-on that lets you copy many URLs at once. Useful for copying advanced search results (e.g. all films that you rated 9 or higher).
mjf made a script that lets you take urls cleanly from search results: viewtopic.php?p=635122#p635122
Imdb list helper, greasemonkey script to easily make lists from imdb urls or even just movie titles: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/11617-imdb-list-helper
For people who want to update their old list instead of starting from scratch (thanks to Limedebois, PDA and PA).

Edit: I've added some new ones already but really need to properly edit my list and re-rank it. I'll hopefully do that before the deadline.

and for the first time since I started participating in the 500<400 I've finally gone to the trouble of adding it to icm, as I know some people prefer browsing lists here rather than on IMDB:

I think Khorshid must have a good chance of getting into the list this year. I can't believe it only has 88 checks.

I think Khorshid must have a good chance of getting into the list this year. I can't believe it only has 88 checks.

It's surprising how few checks it has, there are a few on the 2020s top 100 that could make it - I would also love to see Dinner in America or Old Henry on the list. Although Old Henry is nearing 400 checks.

[beasterne]

Here's my ranked list.

https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/cine ... cinephage/

I'm still trying to get it reduced to 250 eventually, so I didn't make any change except remove those who passed the 400 threshold. With 5 films above 390 checks, this list is bound to get closer to my reduction plan.

[Ebbywebby]

https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/ebby ... ebbywebby/

It's ranked, but this is a longtime, ongoing list so I should juggle the order a bit later.

[Ebbywebby]

Films from last year's top 500 that have 390-399 checks and are ripe for being pushed over the threshold.

It Happened in Broad Daylight (1958)
Simple Men (1992)
Iluminacja (1973)
L'inhumaine (1924)
Carnival of Sinners (1943)
Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania (1972)
Thunder (1982) [5 minutes long]
Men in War (1957)
Abraham's Valley (1993)
The Fifth Seal (1976)
Late Chrysanthemums (1954)
Summer 1993 (2017)
Foxtrot (2017)
Fuego en Castilla (1961) [20 minutes long]

I wouldn't mind seeing Late Chrysanthemums or The Fifth Seal....

With Thunder potentially leaving the list, we need to get some more Takashi Ito shorts on the list
