Well... We can throw that result right out of the window. I mean "eternal' for best of the century, so far... No Way JMT-NL Jul 27, 12:26

I didn't have it on mine, either... TwoMisfits Jul 27, 12:49

I don't understand the one hit wonders. What about movies with one mention in other positions? {nm} Antibody Jul 27, 12:31

And that too... {nm} JMT-NL Jul 27, 12:43

everything is recorded in the google doc {nm} Moviesnob Jul 27, 13:05

Thanks. I missed the poll. Sorry not to see any mention of my favorite movie - The Shawshank Redemption. (Also the top rated movie on IMDB) {nm} pennystocks2 Jul 27, 12:34

This century, not last century. {nm} RogerMore Jul 27, 12:37

But last century was better. :-) {nm} pennystocks2 Jul 27, 12:45

departed, inception, memento, beautiful mind, vanilla sky, best in show {nm} goodtimes92618 Jul 27, 12:38

Don't boo, vote {nm} Obama Jul 27, 12:39

My feelings and the way i feel, feel better when i boo tho {nm} goodtimes92618 Jul 27, 12:43

i think it's cool that this was done tho.. just saying {nm} goodtimes92618 Jul 27, 12:48

Agreed that it's an interesting poll. Thanks for your work MS. {nm} pennystocks2 Jul 27, 13:01

Thanks moviesnob! Did we have such polls for the best of the year? {nm} BlackMamba1893 Jul 27, 21:45

i havent seen 1,2,4 or 5. donnie darko just didnt do it for me (or i didnt get it) in bruges needed more love. thnx snob {nm} islander Jul 27, 12:45

Im pretty sure that Eternal is #1 cause it received the most votes, not that he is saying its the best {nm} St Blink Jul 27, 12:58

True that. But... Imho there should at the earliest have been an outcome/result after 100 entries or so {nm} JMT-NL Jul 27, 13:04

we got 29. Thats good enough for me. You can see in the google doc that eternal sunshine was a pretty strong #1 with 79.5 points Moviesnob Jul 27, 13:09

Yes... Respect peoples opinions :-) {nm} JMT-NL Jul 27, 13:18

I should point out that there was a tie for 9/10 {nm} Moviesnob Jul 27, 13:11

that is a solid list. thanks for your hard work on that Snob. wish there would have been more entries, but 29 is more than I thought lobogotti Jul 27, 13:16

I'd be curious how many active posters there are on the boards. 100? 200? {nm} Moviesnob Jul 27, 13:23

i see 114 entered the summer pick 5, but maybe 20 or so dont look familair to me {nm} islander Jul 27, 13:28

my opinion is that several hundred read regularly (at least once a week). but less than 75 post on a regular basis (at least once a week) lobogotti Jul 27, 13:47

I read for a decade before posting...so I can believe there are many more readers than posters... TwoMisfits Jul 27, 14:07

thanks! {nm} Moviesnob Jul 27, 14:08

You're welcome - I don't think you all get enough credit for how much you offer the game:)... {nm} TwoMisfits Jul 27, 14:15

I didn't vote so can't really complain, but this list is crazy horrifically bad. {nm} skunkrunner Jul 27, 15:04

Nah, crazy horrifically bad would have had Doogal #1 TwoMisfits Jul 27, 15:13

Thanks for assembling! A really interesting list, about half I love and half I'm "meh" on. Glad my fav of all time was #2 {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 27, 16:04

Thanks for doing this... capitolfi Jul 27, 17:49

thats awesome! {nm} Moviesnob Jul 27, 17:58

Wonderful list, thank you so much for doing this, but i think what we all want to know is how much will you make reselling this data? MrZero Jul 27, 18:43

Thanks for doing this. I'd say I need to watch Eternal Sunshine, except I didn't like 5 of the top 10 so not sure how that would work out :) {nm} JDolphin Jul 27, 21:04

Thanks again for this. {nm} second gary Jul 27, 22:33

This was fun. - Thanks Moviesnob ! {nm} joeoftexas Jul 28, 07:13
