Saw La La Land, Jackie, and Lion since this poll closed. Lion and La La Land were solid but nothing spectacular. Jackie was terrible.

Gowi, how would I have known? 🤣

Looking at the update, your major change was increasing Your Name, right? Decreased A Silent Voice a bit... but those are the only changes I see. It wouldn't have made a different to the overall tally. Your Name still would have been in the 75-80 range.

Should've been a top 100, then. You bitch.

Gotta ask you Hayden (I've had this curiosity for years really), where do you find all those beautiful and uniform posters for the top of 10 and 5s? They're consistently awesome.

Google. 🤣

I just Google "[insert film] minimal poster". 99% of the time, there's been one. The more popular the film, the more likely that there's a rendering. I think I struggled with the films of the 40's... there weren't too many. If I remember correctly, I just used the original posters for that list.

I remember for our 90's film list, there just happened to be an artist that made a whole bunch of renderings for film characters that were in our top 10, so I used those.

Having a lot of fun watching the ranks come out. My top 5 prediction was Silence, Arrival, Manchester, La La Land, Moonlight in that order. So I was very surprised at the nice guys. Anyways...

Also, I just watched Lovesong last night, and it's pretty great. I'll have to edit it into my list somewhere. Not sure how that film slipped through the cracks, it should've gotten a lot more hype.

Yeah I didn't get to see that one but they had a premiere here in Nashville and I was working the after-screening party and one of the crew members or producers or somebody important spilled a cocktail on my tux. It was fine, should see it sometime soon heard it's ok.

Bridget Jones' Baby was good. It was fine. The first hour is awesome! Fell off quite a bit. And it is doomed to be overshadowed by the classic first B. Jones film. Nonetheless a nice top 15 moviefor this last year. I now present my LAST edit of this list. I made a change to actors performances as well as films.

Thanks, Hayden, for your patience.

FINAL EDIT:

Excellent, will edit 😄 It's easy to change when the additions are higher up on a list.

And thanks Pa, tallying your list up right now. It might actually be a pivotal list for the top 10 😁

All 3 lists are pretty interesting (in a good way). Very BEA-flavoured.

Will be ready for a list change 😎 I updated Silence into your tally btw.

Also, I just watched Lovesong last night, and it's pretty great. I'll have to edit it into my list somewhere. Not sure how that film slipped through the cracks, it should've gotten a lot more hype.
