Poll closed. Thanks to all who participated. I'll try to have it up in the next 24 hours. Would be up sooner but I'm on a double tomorrow so I doubt I'll be able to get it done before I need to go to sleep.

I had fun! The main genre poll I thought would be popular is an action movie one, which I considered hosting, but sounds a little boring to me (the best Hollywood action movies are mostly the ones everybody knows). A soundtrack one might do pretty well, but that's really a music poll. When we get to the 2010s decade poll, that should do well. I think a second horror one will do significantly better than this one and my two, unless some people don't want to be bothered with upping a list a second time.

Yeah, there are still signatures -- when was the last time you were on the music forum? 😁

I need to watch quite a bit if I'm going to post a credible 100-film list. I'm pretty good with pre-70s horror and the really big names, but deficient when it comes to post-1980 horror, particularly slashers and the cheesier ones.

I go in the music section every now and then but usually when the latest post highlighted on the right catches my eye.

Regarding older vs newer horror as well as cheesy ones, you don't even have to go there if you don't want. Hell, I could give you 100 post-1980 horror films that are neither cheesy nor slashers and it would be a phenomenal list.

But yeah the 80s are fantastic, and if you can turn your brain off for the cheesy stuff it can be so much fun. YouTube has a lot of really good 80s flicks on there, some of them with really nice transfers.

It was to be expected that this poll would get slightly less lists than the previous few, and I respect you hosting the one you wanted to do rather than one that simply would've attracted a few more submissions. All I can say is I've already started viewing for the horror redo.

Also, next time I'm gonna put a link to the poll in my signature and try to post a little more frequently in the other sections. That should hopefully bring in some new faces.

Hope you enjoy whatever horror films you happen to watch. I'm pretty much enough of a pro I highly doubt I'll run into any first time watches that make my list but I've got Netflix and Prime again so I'll probably join you once I knock out this Hateful Eight miniseries.

Thanks for pulling through Chief. Great list. Even though they weren't on my list your inclusion of LVT and Udo really touches my heart.

A little over 3 days left if anyone else can bust one out. I believe we're at 7 lists now. I've PM'd a few other users so I'm hoping for the best, but if these polls are slowing down I'm likely to invite a bunch of outsiders from the horror group I'm in to join up when we re-do that list.

Don't think members who contributed to other polls realize how super easy it is to throw together a list just by scrolling through this incredibly thorough Wikipedia list:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_film_director_and_actor_collaborations

Anyone who's submitted a decent-sized list to any of the movie polls should be able to make one of at least 25. It does take a little time to go through the list, but its length is what enables it to do a lot, maybe even most, of the work for you.

Deadline set for Sunday, May 19 at midnight eastern standard time (or technically, the minute it turns Monday on the east coast). 11 more days to get in a list. I've messaged Mercury and AfterHours about participating so I'm hoping to hear from them. Who else are we missing?

Brando got a best actor nom for Streetcar, so I was wrong about it being considered a supporting role. If I'm remembering correctly, Kim Hunter has significantly more screen time than Brando. You win! I'm adding them. Discussing concerns on message boards can change minds!

Streetcar is like Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. There are four main stars, it's just that the bigger stars got the lead nominations. Glad you decided to add it. That was one along with Herzog-Kinski that I thought was a given but it took a bit for either to gain any kind of traction in this poll.

Ick. No.

If Streetcar is a supporting performance, and that's a big if(I definitely consider it leading, even if Blanch is the main character), it's the most significant supporting performance in film history. Regardless I don't think the size of the role should play too much influence. Even so, there are many far less "leading" actors that have been listed.

Herzog might be a little better-known these days (though for some reason the lists here don't seem to reflect that), but Fassbinder's pretty well-known in his own right. He had one of the most prolific streaks of any non-experimental director in his short life: 40 full-length films between 1969-1982.

Of the classic art film directors, it does seem like Kurosawa, Herzog and Bunuel are the ones that have had the most crossover appeal to non-classic-foreign-art-film American fans.

But I'd also say that all of the big three New German directors -- Herzog, Fassbinder and Wim Wenders -- have all had a fair amount of crossover success with American audiences. I'm not sure what Herzog's crossover appeal is exactly (though I do understand why the movies are good) -- is it that Aguirre and Fitzcaraldo are about obsessives and madmen, or that an obsessive, sometimes mad director was making movies about obsessives and madmen, starring a madman, Kinski? Most of Fassbinder's most famous films are pretty accessible by art-film standards (Douglas Sirk was one of his biggest influences) and he was very fashionable in the early 80s (I witnessed that myself). Wenders' crossover appeal is Wings of Desire being an arthouse phenomenon, and having directed many English language movies.

The different film journeys we travel are interesting. I saw Marriage of Maria Braun on a school trip with my Latin class when I was 14. I already mentioned on the forums that I saw Berlin Alexanderplatz in the theater over two days when I was around 19.

Hanna Schygulla's in ~20 Fassbinder films, while Kinski's only in 5 Herzog movies. This is a little misleading because Fassbinder usually used a stock company and she was part of it from the start of his movie career -- she often didn't have starring roles, though she was the female lead in several.

Glad you were able to watch Nosferatu. It would be the most obvious omission if it doesn't make the final list. I find it interesting the different paths we take as film viewers. For example, you just watched enough to put Herzog but already had Fassbinder. I was pretty knowledgeable of Herzog way back as a teenager, but up until like 3 or 4 years ago I didn't know a thing about Fassbinder.

Speaking of not on the Wiki page, there's many Ingmar Bergman listings but none for Harriet Andersson so I just remembered her. Gotta add her to my list.

Also, not saying they should be on here (and if I wouldn't list them surely you guys wouldnt) but I don't think Argento-Nicolodi were on there either.

Villain's post goes to show the Wikipedia list, while pretty comprehensive, is missing a few from modern times. I would not have included Nichols/Shannon otherwise. It also led me to think of another modern pairing I'm adding to my list...Jeremy Saulnier/Macon Blair.

A little misunderstanding's going on here. Had a feeling Villain hadn't seen the Wikipedia list which is why I recommended it to him in case he was interested in posting a list for the poll. Nichols-Shannon and Fuqua-Denzel are on the Wikipedia list. But cool that you caught one that wasn't.

AwaitingAndew just means here that he had these two that are on Villain's list on his list already.
