LOL

Jim,

Thanks so much again for all the laughs and your hard works here.

Ciao

Well I will admit John has very good taste.

I do have to say though, that I can't really agree with whatever method was used to calculate the winners of these categories. I'll admit I deserve the anti-horror and probably the anti-foreign designations (though I do like a number of films in such categories). But I clearly love comedies, and mysteries, as well as films from all the different decades. I got the I hate 30s, 50s, 70s and 80s? Let's see. I own

30 films from the 1930s
71 films from the 1950s
97 films from the 1970s
97 films from the 1980s

I sure am wasting a lot of money on movies from decades I hate.

Hate is such a strong word. let's just say that overall you don't like them as much as others. Lets face it, those 0's you were dishing out certainly didn't help your numbers.

Last one I can think of here. I'll open this up for any suggestions/requests for certain data.

Otherwise I'm open for a little Crack-Smokers tournament a.k.a. the person you'd least like to be stuck with in a movie theater.

Actually I prefer to think that you don’t look at those decades uncritically (a polite way of saying that you don’t need to hand out too many zeros to drop your score below those of us who gave out none (I gave nothing below a three and not very many of those, for example).

Since you and John gave the most zeros, it stands to statistical reason that you would show up as low ranked in many categories.

 

[SteveGon]

Re: the 30s

Woo-hoo! I'm top dog in at least one category!

 

[george kaplan]

I've seen 33 of the 50 least voted on films, so that's not so bad.

 

[Tommy G]

I must admit I am not a big musical fan. I do love Spinal Tap though.

 

[Dome Vongvises]

I can't believe I made any categories.

I'd love to see the arthouse one.

 

[Jim_K]

Dome,

I can do that.

[Lew Crippen]

Perhaps this is why my wife goes to see films like Men in Black with someone else—and I stay home and watch ‘a film about two guys having a dinner conversation’.

And by the way, Grey Poupon is what I would use, if I ran out of good mustard.

 

[Jim_K]

:wink:

 

[george kaplan]

How about a Hitchcock list? I have a feeling that that's one that might accurately reflect my opinion.

 

[Adam_S]

hmm well at least I got an anti horror and pro western award.

Though I was surprised not to be on the 1930s, I ranked most of those fairly highly (though I saw several of my favorites on the 'didn't make the cut list').

So was I the only person not to vote a 10 to Rear Window? I also wasn't surprised to see those particular three Hitchcocks in the top five, but I was surprised (though I shouldn't be in retrospect) at the low ranking of Lawrence of Arabia.

I don't know if you have the stats for this, but perhaps we could see a Best Picture list, which lists the Academy award Best Picture's rank and then compares it to the highest ranked picture according to the HTF Scorecard vote.

For instance:
1954
Academy: On the Waterfront - ????
HTF Scorecard: Rear Window - 8.44

 

[Bill McA]

Funny stuff, Jim

I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed in only 'winning' two 'awards'...Horror lover (3rd place) and the highly coveted Old Fart Award.

I promise to try harder!

 

[Brian Lawrence]

Perhaps a listing for crappiest taste in movies, by figuring out who gave out the highest average score for those bottom 50 films

 

[Jim_K]

thanks again

Crappiest taste I can easily do with the spreadsheet.

Hitchcock I can do with a little work.

Academy Awards Winners (alone) I can do with more work.

Academy Awards vs. Highest ranked film of the same year would be way too much work though. I have the decade that each movie came from but I'd have to go through all 1,200 films & put in the exact year it was made.

I'll post the 3 above later today

 

[PhilipG]

There are two lists to consider of course: the one Brian mentioned, and the list of who gave the lowest scores to the Top 100.

Could you do a pre/post Star Wars list? i.e. the same sort of thing as you did with decades?

 

[Brad Porter]

Can we see the average scores for each voter? Since the difference between the highest average and lowest average was less than two points, I'm curious to know where everyone falls. A standard deviation value would be interesting as well, if you have it.

Brad

 

[george kaplan]

Also, just a statistical observation.

Someone who voted 10,10,10,10,0 would be considered 'less generous' than someone who voted 9,8,8,8,8, since we're only looking at the means. I strongly suspect that the median and mode would give very different results.
