30 Igby Goes Down 34 4.48 06 : 22 5.67 0.44
Columns:
  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 77).

Dana,
I guess it's just a typo, but shouldn't Bill Harris have 302 movies next to his name (and 30/30 films seen)? After all, he is the "2002 List Leader".

Michael,

I've mentioned it a few times, but it never hurts to repeat it

Lots of members have TWO lists in their 2002 Film List (myself included) -- one alphabetically, one by rating, and sometimes one by date seen. Often there are discrepancies between the two lists.

In Bill Harris' case, I literally copied and pasted his *RATING* list, because that list required less editing on my part -- if I had grabbed his alphabetical list, I'd have to manually go through every title and get rid of his extraneous information. True to the Programmer's Credo, I took the lazier route

Once I have a member's full list of titles, I go through them and ensure each title matches the "standard" title (i.e., "Hable con Ella (Talk to Her)" instead of just "Talk to Her"). I toyed with the idea of having a master list of films, and just having a 1 or a 0 in each row, going across the columns for each member. You'd think that'd be programmatically easier, but it turns out to be a nightmare for updates -- when members update their lists, there is no consistency in how they do it, so I have to manually go through the lists for each "Last edited by" that fits the dates I'm looking for, and pick out each new title, and add it to the spreadsheet. Doing it by name is surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly) FAR faster than if there was one master list of titles and "checking off" if the person has seen it.

For the 2003 titles, I eventually plan on having a website that members can come to and check off which ones they've seen, and get an HTML output of their choosing to insert in the 2002 Film List thread. Due to interfering influences (read: my day job ), that's been put on a back burner temporarily, but I hope to get it started this weekend.

Now...back to Bill Harris: He has 302 films in his alphabetical list, but only 295 titles in his rating list. I could go through and try to find the 7 missing ones (one of which I'm sure is in our top 30 ) but there are a number of members who have this problem, and I'd rather they do the honors of synching their lists. However, since he's our official leader in the cause, I'll give him a break The next update should reflect his total of 302.

Hope that clears up any confusion!

No problem Dana... with all the tedious work you've been doing here, I didn't even realize that you had time for a job.

Yes, I have a habit of making people repeat themselves.

I totally agree... it will only take each member a few seconds to fix up, but it will probably end up saving you a lot more time.

Well, maybe I can help with this part. Right now, I currently use an MS Access database that I created for managing my film list. It makes it so much easier to make updates, because I simply enter the name of the film in a form (and rating/IMDB#... the date is inserted automatically), and the HTML source for my alphabetically-sorted table is generated instantly. It didn't take me very long to program, but it saved me lots of time in the long run. If there's an easy way of porting my code into a web-based interface, then I can maybe work on that when I have some free time.

Michael,

That's a pretty cool thing to have, but I'll be needing to do a little more with it. I intend to use it to manage both the 2003 Film List (and the Top 10 that'll come at the end of the year) and the 2003 Box Office totals. I usually get my titles from RottenTomatoes.com; I know it's not complete, so I'll also provide a form for members to fill out to recommend new titles.

Too bad IMDB (or Box Office Mojo or RT for that matter) doesn't have a web service to download info in XML form, that'd make life a LOT easier. No matter what, the input of 2003 titles will be a manual process, but at least it only has to be done once for each new title.

Also, each member tends to have his or her own wants and needs for output style. I like to have a table by date seen and then a table by rating. Some like to do their ratings by 4 or 5 stars, by 1-10 scale, or percentile. Some include director information, some include theatres seen. My intention is to provide a list of stylesheets (XSLT) that will allow a member to choose how they want the data transformed -- there'll be a "standard" output ("Just list the films with my ratings"), some fancier ones ("Give me my list of films, sorted by date seen, in table format"), and then I'll provide customized stylesheets for each member that wants one. I'm sure you, Seth, and a few others (including myself) will sign up for that

The ultimate goal is to have a standardized list of films and a central place to manage/track them by member, so that we can provide any kind of stats we want on which films are the most popular with which groups of members.

I know, it sounds bold (or maybe a pipe dream ) but I hope to at least try it and see if it works. After all, I'm a developer at heart -- I love tinkering with code -- and I also love stats!

There's a lot of useful info about alternate IMDB interfaces on this page. Personally, I feel that IMDB is much more up-to-date than RT... especially with foreign film information.

Hi Bill!

S'okay, I'm sorry too for using you as a lesson object

I'm still boggled over how you manage to see over 300 films in a year -- I struggle to find time for 50 of them (and this year the sucky thing is, I've only managed just ONE film for 2003). Do you catch most of your films at festivals, or watch a lot of them for the first time on DVD?

Just curious

Hehe... yeah, those film festivals are fun aren't they? Although I didn't see as many films as Bill, I'd say that 20-25% of the films that I saw in 2002 were seen during two 10-day festivals. Man, if only I could attend Cannes, Sundance, Toronto, etc...


On a side note, it seems that I'm like the only member here who didn't love "Spirited Away". I did enjoy it (although, not as much as "Princess Mononoke") and I thought the animation was incredible, but I feel that I just didn't get as much out of it as everyone here. When I saw it, the theater was full of noisy little kids and babies crying, so maybe I should give it another chance when it comes out on DVD and watch it comfortably at home.

Added these four very good movies to my Honorable Mentions section: About a Boy, Chicago, The Pianist, and Talk to Her (Hable con Ella).

I switched the 4th and 5th places between 25th Hour(4th) and Harry Potter(now 5th). I also removed Signs from the list which moves GoNY, CMiYC, and Y Tu Mama Tambien up a spot. Adaptation moves back in to the #10 spot on my list.

Not the only one. However, I made the horrid mistake of going to the dubbed version, rather than the subtitled version. I thought the entire town had the subtitled one.

I finally got a chance to see the subbed version of Spirited Away...and it was "better" than the dubbed version...but the dubbed version is not terrible by any stretch; I can't see kids wanting to sit through anything subtitled, no matter how captivating the images on screen...I'm glad they did a decent dub with quality actors, now if only they'd released it in more than, oh I don't know, 5 theaters!!!

Well, I had no choice in the matter... the only version being shown here was dubbed. (In fact, I had seen "Princess Mononoke" dubbed in theaters as well.) In addition to the dubbed soundtrack, the poor viewing environment definitely affected my enjoyment of the film. (I had to change seats on more than one occasion because of annoyances in the theater.) Now I'm really looking forward to seeing the orginal version when it hits DVD.

Columns:
  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 81).

Non-qualifying members:
  • Declan, LennyP - List can only contain 2002 FILMS (there were a few other people with one or two platform-pushover titles, which I've let go for the time being)
  • Angelo.M - Must have 10 titles in the list, and at least 35 seen from 2002
  • Luc D - You'll need an order to your list)


Notes:
  • Welcome Holadem, RafaelB, Dennis Pagoulatos, and Brian Ruth!
  • Some changes in the top 10: Adaptation. moves up a notch, as does Chicago and The Pianist.
  • Far from Heaven jumps a few, as Star Wars finally slips from the middle of the second tier it has held for so long.
  • There don't appear to be any new titles in the list.

Time for an update...

Hmmm. Must be time for a change then.

Added Adaptation. to my Top 10, and raised my total film count.

I switched up some of the order of my Top 10 just now, with Bowling for Columbine moving up ahead of Gangs of NY and Rules of Attraction...
Check my original post for the changes!

1. Far From Heaven
2. Adaptation
3. Y Tu Mama Tambien
4. The Two Towers
5. What Time Is It There?
6. Talk To Her
7. Signs
8. Gangs of New York
9. Monsoon Wedding
10. 8 Mile

I've never felt less capable of providing a year-end list than I do this year. It seems as though I've seen as many films as I ever do, but I feel like I've missed far too many to make this list in anyway representative. For example, I haven't seen "The Pianist", "The Hours" (did read the book!), "Chicago", "Russian Ark", "Corpus Callosum", "The Fast Runner", "Solaris (2002)", "Spirited Away", and probably 50 other, wholly worthy films. So, take this list with a very large rock of salt... and I hope I can revise it as I finally start to catch up!
