The Host's Hot Take
Participants spread the love, with some well-known and widely seen films unsurprisingly coming out on top, but first-place votes were spread out far and wide, likely due to our strong Dutch contingent having seen a lot of local films, allowing them to highlight some gems that the rest of us wouldn't be aware of. No real surprises, except perhaps Zwartboek taking Spoorloos's crown from the Benelux poll. There are also a lot of short films nominated, with 7 making our Top 44. There's also a higher percentage of unofficial films in our Top list than other countries, though quite a number of those were formerly official.

Next up: Egypt

[pitchorneirda]

Not a single film by Johan van der Keuken in the final list, yikes.

Compared to other countries, female directors seem to have been able to be more successful, with a large number of their films not only showing up in this poll, but having topped local box offices and/or having won major awards.

Season 1: Round 1 - De weg naar het zuiden
Season 2: Round 1 - Borgman
Season 3: Round 1 - Ne me quitte pas
Season 4: No participation
Season 5: Round 2 - Dorp aan de rivier, Rembrandt fecit 1669

Our last Benelux Forum Poll was held in August 2019. Here's our Top 75 compared to the previous poll. Since the poll included so many countries, the majority of films rose in the ranks compared to our poll, but there are still quite a few noticeable drops, primarily for two of the most popular Greek directors: Lanthimos & Angelopoulos.

I wonder why?

Thanks Ferge
