TPWW Top 100 Movies - January 30th Deadline - Better Idea than David Youell's!

**House of Pancakes** · 11-09-2004, 03:36 PM

I tried this twice at Rajah. The first time got a crappy list, the second time, nobody really did it. But, here at TPWW, I've decided to give it a shot. Also, David Youell's daily movie ranking threads are dumb, and I want to outstage him and make him cry. So, here you go:

List up to 20 movies that you think are the BEST of all-time. Remember, these may or may not necessarily be your favorites. The basis of this is the same. Based on a scoring system, I will tally up everyone's list and reward all points to all movies nominated, and then come out with the Top 100 Movies of the boards.

KEY RULES

1. Movies now need a minimum number of total votes to get into the Top 100. If three people love Legally Blonde and put it at number one, that's almost automatic entry into the list. Many people didn't like the lower list especially, and this rule will stop that. Depending on the amount of lists made, a movie will need a certain amount of nominations to get in. If we wind up with around 200 lists, the minimum would be 8 or 10. This way, a couple of people can't assure their favorite movie gets in.

2. One vote per appearance on a list. This rule rewards quantity even more. If The Shawshank Redemption winds up with 300 points and got on 45 lists, and The Matrix winds up with 301 points but only got on 40 lists, Shawshank would be ranked higher [345-341]. More people nominating a movie could push it past a tie-breaker or close race.

Finally, the most important rule...

All posters will have until January 30th to make their lists. You have a deadline. You may post your list now and between now and the deadline, you can add, remove, edit, move up, move down, do anything you want to your list. I will not start tallying at all until the deadline comes. After that, nobody will be allowed to change anything on their lists. I think allowing people to think about their lists for a month will get much more accurate results on the list. Also, if people see a movie within that time period that they love, they can add it on to the list.

So now that the rules are laid down, let me introduce to you the scoring system. Now, the old scoring system had 20 points for the first movie listed, all the way down to 1 point for the last movie listed. But it's different now.

List up to 30 movies that you think are the best of all-time. These may or may not necessarily be your favorites. The basis of this is the same. Based on a scoring system, I will tally up everyone's list and reward all points to all movies nominated, and then come out with the Top 100 Movies of the boards.

More people nominating a movie could push it past a tie-breaker or close race.

So now that the rules are laid down, let me introduce to you the scoring system.

I will give each poster 210 points, and they will be able to have a bit of control over their lists. I'm not giving full control [that would mean somebody could give one movie 210 points and not list anything else], but I'll make it interesting. Basically, for each slot, you will have an interval, and you can give a movie any amount of points between that interval. It will look like this:

1. 22-25
2. 20-22
3. 18-21
4. 16-18
5. 14-17
6. 11-15
7. 11-15
8. 11-15
9. 8-10
10. 8-10
11. 8-10
12. 8-9
13. 8-9
14. 7-8
15. 5-6
16. 5-6
17. 3-5
18. 2-4
19. 2-3
20. 1-2
21-30: 1 [if applicable]

You can use up as many of the points as you like. If you only list 10 movies, use the same intervals as listed in slots 1-10, and you'll have the rest of the points to spare in case you wish to add more movies to your list. I think this will be very accurate, as you can either have one movie be top of the heap [giving it the full 25], or if you're stuck between two or three movies, you can give them each 21 or 22 points. You can have a list that's one-sided toward the first five, or a well-balanced list all the way through. Just make sure you don't use up more than 210 points [the most possible to use is 230, and the least possible to use is 188, I believe]. AFTER THE TOP 20, you may choose up to ten other movies to award one point to.

I really think lists will be thought-out and accurate with this system, and this should be nice and interesting. So I suppose we can get started. Put your lists down now if you want, but you have until January 30th to send them in as final.

I think this idea will get everyone to shut up. All recommendations and movie opinions will basically be tied into one thread, and I think if it's done right, it would make a great reference point.

**El Capitano Gatisto** · 11-09-2004, 05:12 PM

I honestly couldn't give a shit what numbers a bunch of dickheads here stick beside some films, bar maybe 2 or 3 people.

Also, Youell's thing is just crazily pointless.

**Dave Youell** · 11-09-2004, 05:27 PM

Arr I love you all as well

**Ian** · 11-09-2004, 05:54 PM

I don't even bother wasting my time rating 1 movie, why the fuck would I bother with 20 of the bastards.

**House of Pancakes** · 11-09-2004, 05:57 PM

Wasn't this a funny joke?

**Danny Electric** · 11-09-2004, 06:07 PM

I thought we did this a few months ago.

**The Miz** · 11-11-2004, 07:24 PM
