Here we go again!
It's been a while, but after a bit of a break, thebtskink and I are back with a new AFI Top 100 thread! This time, though, instead of doing two decades at once, we're focusing on on one, aka perhaps the most highly-regarded decade in all of film: the 1970's. We just figured there's too much in this decade alone to lump it in with another, so we're giving it its own list.
And just like those last two times, the rules will be the same. But just in case you need a refresher...
Rules:
- All films nominated have to have been theatrically released.
- Concurrently, all films have to have been released theatrically from anytime between January 1st, 1970 and December 31st, 1979.
- Films can be produced by Britain, Australia/New Zealand, etc. and/or be in a foreign language.
- Films also have to be in the Narrative format, which is another stipulation of the AFI.
Modus Operandi:
- We will adjust this as necessary, but to start off: Participants choose FOUR movies at a time to be voted on and the top SEVEN with the most votes will go on the list. Again, this ratio will be adjusted as necessary as we move on, but this is just to get us going and not to have the process feel too tedious. Plus, it helps get the "heavyhitters" taken care of early.
- Films can be re-nominated as many times as a person wants until it's on the list.
- Please look at other nominated movies before you submit yours to avoid duplicates. A movie can only get one nomination per round.
- Horse-trading/negotiating is allowed, even encouraged -- to make things more interesting.
- OFFICIAL VOTES WILL ONLY BE COUNTED AS COMMENTS IN THIS THREAD.
- If, by the end of the list, we have more than 100, then there will be a special ranking or voting process to weed out potential stragglers.
- Winners of each round will be listed below on a pre-ranking masterlist as we go along.
- All films nominated have to have been theatrically released.
- Concurrently, all films have to have been released theatrically from anytime between January 1st, 1970 and December 31st, 1979.
- Films can be produced by Britain, Australia/New Zealand, etc. and/or be in a foreign language.
