Our Top 10's of 2002 -- Time To Throw Down / The HTF 2002 Film Awards (See Post #1) (1 Viewer)

[Jason Whyte]

And, also, it would really be a battle between Bowling For Columbine and Standing In The Shadows of Motown, as Jason and Rich have made abundantly clear.
Aside: while I have YET to update my Top 10 list (can ya tell I've been busy?), Motown comes in at #6 behind Solaris, and would be my choice for this year's documentary.

[MichaelPe]

Ok, just updated my post with my HTF Film Awards nominees. I also included a Best Doc category, just for the heck of it.
So... is "The Russian Ark" eligible for Best Editing?

 

[Tom Ryan]

Alright...I guess I'll throw in...hope I haven't already posted here and forgotten about it
1. The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
2. Minority Report
3. Adaptation
4. About Schmidt
5. Road To Perdition
6. The Pianist
7. Catch Me If You Can
8. Bowling For Columbine
9. Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones
10. Undercover Brother

 

[Dome Vongvises]

Can I still edit my list? I haven't been doing so because I thought we were only allowed to place films we actually saw in the year 2002. I'm getting ready to watch Chicago in an hour. So if I like it and want to put it in my list, I can? Or do I actually have to see it in the year 2002?

 

[Lowell_B]

Dome, as far as I know you can edit your list whenever and wherever. It doesn't matter WHEN you see a movie, as long as it's a 2002 title. Hope you enjoy Chicago, it's a solid piece of work.

Lowell

[Craig S]

OK, I've finally updated my Top Ten, and posted my HTF Award noms.

Thanks to Dana & Jason for your hard work in running this thread and tabulating the results!!

 

[Brook K]

No new movies, added the film awards except actor where I couldn't decide and song, where I didn't remember anything special.

 

[Dana Fillhart]

Hi all,

I will be posting one final update later tonight (after I get back from seeing Irreversible). After that, I'll be focusing solely on getting the Tracker tool done so everybody can use that to maintain their top 10 for 2003 and beyond, and I can use that to generate stats. It'll be very interesting to see how the stats change as films are released throughout the year!

 

[Dana Fillhart]

Ok, folks, this is IT. The LAST update for the Top 30 of Our Top 10 of 2002; with Oscars coming up in less than 48 hours, I figured this was a great place to end it. It's been a fun ride, and overall I'm quite pleased with the results.
Thanks to all the contributors, new and old, who've kept me one hell of a busy beaver these past few weeks!
For 2003, I'm developing a Tracker website tool for HTF members to track their films, fill out lots of personal details (date seen, locale, comments, etc.), and select a desired style for output and copy/paste the results into the 2003 Film List thread. Eventually I'll even have stats built into the tool too (which is the ultimate goal...so I don't have to go thru every post in the Film List and Top 10 threads, one by one, and manually enter film titles and rankings into a spreadsheet, argh! ).
Anyway, I'll keep y'all posted on the tool; I'm beta-testing it with a few members over the next couple weeks, getting out some of the bugs, working in some features, making sure it makes sense, etc. Until then...
Enjoy this round of numbers! I went through everybody's Top 10 post very carefully this last time to make sure I had everything correct.
If you see any errors in the tabulations, let me know and I'll correct them ASAP.
So, here we go...

1. Position
2. Film Title
3. Total Score: A summation of each film's position in each contributor's top 10, with points given as follows: 1st place = 10, 10th place = 1. 10th place ties get .5 points per tie, limit to 2. All ties above 10th place get full points in each position, so long as the total points for the contributor does not exceed 55 (10+9+...+1); if that happens, remainder of tie will be divided like they were 10th place.
4. Fractional Weighted Total: The total combined fractional weighted scores of each contributor's film. Fractional weighted scores are computed for each contributor by the position of the film against the total number of films seen -- i.e., if a contributor saw 50 films, 1st place is 50/50 (1.00), 10th place is 41/50 (0.82). This gives more weight to lists with higher film totals.
5. Top 10 List Appearances : 2002 Film List Appearances: Ratio of a film's appearance in this thread to how many appearances it makes in contributors' lists in the 2002 Film List thread. This gives better value to the Weighted Average (and Total Score) numbers.
6. Weighted Average: Total Score divided by Top 10 List Appearances. This is considered weighted because it only takes into account those contributors who have the film in the top 10.
7. Unweighted Average: Total Score divided by total number of Top 10 contributors (currently 87).

[Brook K]

Oh well, just missed getting marked down for one more out of the top 30, The Quiet American. Not anywhere near my top 10 lists.

 

[MichaelPe]

Ok, folks, this is IT. The LAST update for the Top 30 of Our Top 10 of 2002; with Oscars coming up in less than 48 hours, I figured this was a great place to end it. It's been a fun ride, and overall I'm quite pleased with the results.
Thanks to all the contributors, new and old, who've kept me one hell of a busy beaver these past few weeks!

Well Dana... thanks for making this thread such a memorable success, and thank you for all the hard work you've put into it. (I'm sure that my nitpicking didn't help either...)
Jason, thanks for all your hard work in making this thread possible. It's too bad we didn't get to see your nominations for the HTF Film Awards, as I was really looking forward to reading them.
I think we should keep this thread archived permanently at the HTF... I'm sure that we'll want to refer back to it often.

 

[Jason Whyte]

Jason, thanks for all your hard work in making this thread possible. It's too bad we didn't get to see your nominations for the HTF Film Awards, as I was really looking forward to reading them.

I was too busy last night watching Tarkovsky's Solyaris last night to post my nominations...and then the power went out around midnight when I logged on. Rest assured, mine will be going up in an hour or so.
Anyone who's left, feel free to post whatever nominations you can in the meantime before the Oscars. And I hope to see you all at the chat!
Jason
