Blu-ray Community Top 50 Films of All Time - 2015 Edition (Please Read First Post) - Blu-ray Forum

Boom! I'm back from the dead. Sort of.

Hard to believe, but nearly 5.5 years ago I started the very first thread of this variety where the community would rank films on certain criteria. It started out with The Top 50 Films of All Time and we quickly had many, many spinoffs.

Granted, I'm not nearly as present on the forums these days, but everyone once in a while I'll check back and still find these types of threads. I don't believe we've had a Greatest Films of All Time list in quite a while, so I figured I would revisit.

First off, let's take a look at the results from our PREVIOUS results in 2009. The Top Films were:

There's been a lot of quality films released since 2009, so it will be interesting to see what makes it in, and what gets pushed out. I also think (and hope) that turnout for this will be higher than the previous iteration.

THE DEADLINE: I will stop counting nominations after MARCH 11TH, MIDNIGHT PACIFIC STANDARD TIME.

Results will be shown shortly after.

RULES

You guys know the drill.

1. WHILE THIS IS A TOP 50 LIST, YOU'RE LISTING ONLY YOUR TOP 25.

Why only 25? I honestly think there's less participation when you rank 50, as people could be more intimidated by it. 25 is easy, and the more people, the more movies and more variety. It's also easier and less time consuming to add the films together at the end.

RANK THE TOP 25 FILMS of your list in ORDER.

Points will be split according:

1st Place -- 25 points
2nd Place -- 24 points
3rd Place -- 23 points
4th Place -- 22 points
--------
22nd Place -- 4 points
23rd Place -- 3 points
24th Place -- 2 points
25th Place -- 1 point

2. DON'T COUNT TRILOGIES OR SERIES AS ONE.

Therefore, you can't list Lord of the Rings of Star Wars as number 1 and have them each get 25 points. If you truly believe that they're the best films ever made, rank them 1-3 or 1-6, etc. If you do include a trilogy as 1, I'm going to split them up and knock the bottom three of your list off completely.

3. Do NOT put multiple movies at the same ranking. Don't put 3 films at the number one spot then start the list at 4 following it. Put only ONE film at each rank, or I won't count your list. Otherwise if you had multiple films at number 1, I would take 16 points and divide it by how films you had at that spot. Which kind of defeats the purpose.

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

I'm open ears. If you think you have an idea to make the list better let me know!

I'm eagerly anxious to see how this list differs from the previous edition, and hopefully we can reconvene in 2020 to do it again!
