Semis then final it is. Top 2 from each into a final 4? 

I think so.

In the interests of fairness I've created a scoring system based on your picks I will run them later when I get home and Base me votes on that.

 

Proper geeky this. Love it.

Is it based on awards or box office? Or a combination of both?

[Strontium]

Quite happy with my 10. I think I have Spielberg's best two films, Nolan's best*, Cameron's best, Lynch's best, Pixar's best**, Reiner's best***, Brooks' best****, an unforgettable performance by the marvellous Bruno Ganz and an under-rated Scorsese classic which, I think, is actually superior to Goodfellas.

 

 

* I love The Dark Knight and Interstellar, but Inception is peak-Nolan

** okay, it's a close run thing between Wall-E and Up

*** admittedly a toss up between this, Stand By Me and This Is Spinal Tap

**** ask me again tomorrow and I might say The Producers

Just on my opinion of a film; no points if I haven't seen it, top marks if it was a film I wanted in my draft and scores somewhere in between based on my enjoyment of the film, whether I would watch again etc. Something like that.

 

Going to do it after my tea and see how we get on.

I'm going by my enjoyment of films. 

If you go by awards it gets silly as you may as well just pick Oscar winners. By that Gandhi would be a better pick than ET. As great as that Gandhi film is its not a more fun movie. Ben Kingsley was superb mind

The voting for this is very tough. I think you could be happy if you got any of the lists as a secret Santa, and that's before you consider that there is some truly brilliant stuff that never made it onto anyone's list. For me, the best way to decide how to choose is how much variety and entertainment a list has. If there's a good mix of drama, comedy, action, story and technical brilliance, that's the one to go for.

Some films that didn't make the list that I thought would.

 

Fight Club

The Truman Show

Forest Gump

La La Land

Avengers

Casino Royal

Withnail and I

The top two I was mulling over for my last wild card.

 

Couldn't not pick Spinal Tap though.

I didn't add my list of non icks as I thought it was being done again

Reckon we could do three or four of these and we'd still be mulling over our final picks.

That was the idea.
