I will be honest - I have been wanting to do a straight up stealing of Northern Voice's album poll and apply it to movies of the year. The problem is, a lot of the major award winners aren't released for wide consumption until after the Academy and I am guessing it takes people awhile to get around to them.
However, I thought I would try the idea for the 90s and see if there is any interest. Why the 90s? A few reasons. I am guessing that a good majority of the people that are on here a lot were in HS and college in the 90s and that is probably a sweet spot for a lot of us having the time to watch a ton of stuff. Also, I have done my top 100 movies of the 00s and top 50 of the first 1/2 of the decade so there have been threads on those years. MoP (I think) was doing the 80s, but nobody ever got around to the 90s.
Here is what we will do.... (again, straight up stolen from NV, but I don't think he will mind).
1. PM me a list (or you can post here in spoiler tags, but PM is preferred)
2. You must list a minimum of 10 movies, and a maximum of 20.
3. You have 200 points to distribute to your list.
4. Maximum points a movie can get is 30.
5. You can also simply post your top 10-20 movies in order and they will be awarded points in a descending order from 19-1.
6. We are only doing movies that have a theater release in 1999.
7. NO PORN! , but other than that, there are no genre restrictions - comedy, horror, documentary, foreign, etc..
