I just made a new top 100 not too long ago, so the chances of me turning around and making another this soon are kinda slim unless I see something that I absolute feel I have to vote for this year in the next few weeks.

I take that as permission, if I don't hear anything else by the deadline, to use that list as your entry. :)

I suppose I should go ahead and get mine settled now rather than once a lot of ballots start pouring in. Wouldn't want to risk shaping my ballot from knowledge.

Revising your top 100 is much harder than forming it for the first time. I started a half-hearted revision/upgrade to top 50 that I ditched at 26. I'll come back to it for this.

When is the closing date for submissions? I Also don't have a list of my top 100 films, must have been busy doing other things ???, but I'll give it a go. Do they have to be in numerical order, or can they just be my favourite films?

Submissions are due by the 23rd. Ordering is good, at least by cluster (1, 2-5, 6-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-60, 61-80, 81-100) because if you give me an unranked list, I'll probably end up just treating it as if it were ranked (though I suppose I could just assign each film the average value).

I don't foresee any changes to my recently made top 50 but I'll leave it open until the deadline just in case.

Update regarding submission format. While they need to be in order (from 1 up to 100), it is preferable if they are not actually numbered as that makes me have to remove the numbering before getting it into the spreadsheet. If you have already submitted, don't worry, I can sort it out...just don't want to have to sort it out for all of them.

I wonder if we should send out a message to the most frequent users of the forum, giving format information...

Excel's Text-to-columns function makes pretty short work of that sort of thing.

I've gathered images. This will be a back to basics list.
