ICM Forum's 500<400 : 2022 Edition : Nomination Thread (Closed)

[Tim2460]

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 03.

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.

View your least-checked checks
View your least-checked favorites

Rules:
- Films released in 2021 or 2022 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).

[beavis]

first in, with my recently completely updated, but this time UNRANKED, list
https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/icm+ ... is/beavis/

I've ordered them chronologically. I'm not sure if leaving it unranked is a better strategy for me, but I hope so. I think all my movies have about the same chance of being picked (up) by others, so I think in this way I am giving them all a fair share of the points that are available to me... I just hope the result isn't that my nominations will now all recieve such a small amount of points that they hardly contribute at all...?

my list has 500 movies (so we're done basically )
highest number of offical lists = 6
three movies have that number: Ashani Sanket, Ghare-Baire, Ziemia obiecana (2x Ray and 1x Wajda, not overlooked, but still underseen)
245 movies are on 0 lists, so it's about a 50/50 split between official already and still unofficial, which seems about right to me
loads of the movies on 1 list only are from 500<400 or Doubling, as can be expected
also a notable few from the Asian Field Guide and the Cahiers Annual top10

[hurluberlu]

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

Can we review this ? With half-life at 50, anything ranked past #300 is worthless. Sounds counter-intuitive for a 500 list.
In past polls the low half-life also facilitated a film to qualify with support from only three voters as long as they put it in their top10. I am sure some will disagree but I think picks for this official list should have better representation, especially as it has a decent number of voters at 120+.
Let's put 75 or even 100 up for debate.

Here is my ranked list, capped to 500 as usual but constantly updated. 95 new entries in it at the moment and easily the strongest list I have entered so far. The bar is slowly getting harder to be included with a movie having to get into the top third of my Flickchart now and barely a 6/10 to be seen now. Even a lot of 7/10 don't make it anymore.

https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/my+5 ... st/zzzorf/

Nice systemsprenging #1 you got there, zzzorf! Let's try and start a Marona mafia while we can. Roughly 50 checks is CRIMINAL for this film.

What also makes my head explode is that Cuties (Mignonnes) is eligible for this poll at under 400 checks??
???
This was the MOST-TALKED movie of the month, it's streamable for everyone on Netflix and has 20-30k ratings on IMDb/Letterboxd, what theck?
If a major shitstorm for an indie flick can't attract viewers to check out (and check) a film anymore, I don't know what can ..
