Year-by-Year Polls: 1998 (***Last Call***)

Rufus-T · #1

Welcome to the Year-by-Year Poll!

This poll is for the year 1998

These polls are fairly simple. We work our way through film history selecting a different year each time, and you list your top films from the given year. Depending on the number of voters, the poll usually produces a list of around 50-90 films and is a great way of finding recommendations. Lots of people will also list other films outside their top 20 as honorable mentions or runners-up.

The Rules

- You can vote for a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 20 films.

- Feature films, documentaries, short films, TV movies, and TV mini-series are all eligible, but not continuing TV series or individual TV episodes.

- We use IMDb dates for consistency, so a title should be listed on IMDb as 1998.

- Your ballot can be either ranked or unranked, but I will assume it's ranked unless otherwise stated. For ranked ballots it makes it easier if you use a numbered list.

- IMPORTANT: Along with a list of the titles from 1998, please include the corresponding list of bare IMDb urls for the same films. Your ballot will be deemed disqualified if the IMDb urls are not included.

The Scoring

For ranked ballots, the top-ranked title will receive a number of points equal to the number of titles on the ballot, with each succeeding title receiving one fewer point. So the top title on a list of 20 films will receive 20 points, the next 19 points and so on. If the list has only 10 films, the top title will receive 10 points, the next one 9, and so on. If there are 5 films on the list, the top film will receive 5 points, the next one 4, well you get the idea.

For unranked ballots, each title will receive an equal share of the total points that would have been allotted to the ballot if it had been ranked. If there are 20 films on the ballot, this means each one would receive 10.5 points.

Spoiler

Serebryanye Golovy should be on there as a 1998 movie, but Imdb has mislabeled it
the bottom of my list for this year feels weak, Bug's Life is basically only there because the writers had this brainwave to do a blooper real at the end, that was pure genius.

So much easier to generate these lists soon after doing the annual all time favourites list update. Links in spoiler.

Not my favourite year with only 4-6 films that particularly stand out, but a few other pretty good ones in there too. My #4 was an exciting recent find in a local DVD rental store (a rarity by now). It was my first Angelopoulos and I'd definitely like to see more.

Godard finished Histoire(s) in 98, but's listed on IMDb as a TV miniseries from 1989 to 1999; does that mean it would go on the 1989 list?

Links and hopefully some additions forthcoming.

EDIT: Ah, didn't have a chance to watch anything else, sadly. Think I'll just stick with my top five.
