With Nothing to do at work today I started compiling the top tens into a spread sheet. number 1s got ten points, number 10s got 1 point. Ties got an average of the two rankings they should be (eg tied number 1 is 9.5 pts, four tied number three is 6.5 pts each). I used only complete top tens with the exception of Eric Peterson who is abstaining from 'awarding' a number one film.

Thirteen people still have placeholders

Anyway, Batman Begins is so far in front it's absolutely untouchable and was mentioned in 34 of 44 possible lists.

Interestingly, Batman Begins only had 3 number one votes, Munich had 7 and Star Wars had 6, King Kong has only 1, and Brokeback Mountain has 3. Harry Potter has none, New World has 4 (and the fewest total votes of the top ten), Sin City has 1, Cinderella Man has 2 and Crash has none.

  1. Batman Begins - 224.5

Oh, I'm still around, lurking ...

Truthfully I'm so deep into my writing that I've taken very little time to come up above the surface and breathe. Even my DVD buying has suffered (oh, the shame! ).

Actually this list has been in my mind the past few days - I should have a good amount of time this weekend, so I'll take a stab at it, see how much effort it'd take.

Gonna have to put in some overtime myself on the filmwatching - I think I've seen ZERO of the BP noms this year - inexcusable!



DVDs (24 Feb 2006): Discs - 2579, Titles - 1688 (Avg. 17 Titles/Month) • Films I\'ve Seen: 20052004200320022001
