Can I just start by saying, please try vote by Friday 11.50pm. That's plenty of time to vote. People are constantly voting beyond this time and it causes me to have to re-tally on the weekends/Monday morning, which is not ideal. I don't want to leave out votes but yeah, that would be helpful if you stick to the deadline.
Ok folks, round 4 is complete! There were a total of 87 films that got votes and your top 5 were:
The Godfather
Goodfellas
The Godfather 2
Pulp Fiction
Heat
Zodiac and Se7en were battling for the 5th spot all week and right at the death, with the final few voters, Heat overtook both of them. I'm sure they'll both be competing again in the Thriller round. Also, y'all need your heads checked... The Departed got more points than Infernal Affairs... bunch of nooooobs.
Here are the results for those interested:
Below is a list of what's made it through so far. Please make sure any film you vote for isn't on this list, otherwise you are wasting a vote.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Onto the next round!
Each Monday, I will set up a new round for the contest.
Each round will represent a different genre of film (I have tried to include all the big genres).
The genres are below (BOLDED IS THE CURRENT ROUND FOR THIS THREAD):
Round 1 - Action & Adventure
Round 2 - War & Western
Round 3 - Fantasy & Superhero
Round 4 - Crime & Noir
Round 5 - Comedy & Romance
Round 6 - Drama
Round 7 - Horror
Round 8 - Sci-Fi
Round 9 - Thriller & Mystery
Round 10 - Animation & Musicals
Round 11 - Resurrection (Bonus Round)
Round 12 - The Knockout Round
Round 13 - The Finals
For each round, please list your top 5 movies from the genre in list view.
Please do this by Friday 11:59pm GMT (please stick to this as last time people kept voting late and that causes me massive headaches on the weekends).
5th = 2 pts, 4th = 4 pts, 3rd = 6 pts, 2nd = 8 pts, 1st = 10 pts.
The top 5 movies from each round will go through to the knockouts.
In the event of a tie, I will refer to their Metacritic scores.
I know movie genres cross over (Alien could be horror or sci-fi) so feel free to consider that when voting but don't be an idiot and vote Alien as a comedy or musical.
If you have voted, then changed your vote, please quote your original list and then post your new list and let me know by tagging me, otherwise I may miss your vote by accident.
I will try to start each new round on the Monday after a vote round has finished.
At the opening post of each round, I will put in the results from the previous round and start the voting of the current round.
Once we have gone through the 11 rounds, there will be a randomized UCL-style knockouts round (which people asked for last time).
Then we head into the final round with 30 movies on the shortlist.
Then once that voting is done, I will post the top 30 in order from last to first and crown the overall winner.
I know this is probably not the BEST way but I doubt there is a BEST way to do this!
Remember, I have 2 kids and a full time job so there may be times where I miss deadlines or post later than anticipated. Apologies in advance.
I hope this is fun and you guys enjoy it
