Could you tease us with a few other fun facts and statistics? For example: Are there films that didn't make the cut because of negative votes? How many negative votes did the most "hated" film get? How many positive votes were necessary to make the final list? How many individual films received votes?

Stuff like that would be great - if you have the time, of course, and if your nifty little program makes this data easily available to you ;)

Voting is closed and talleying is COMPLETE!

:)

Just a reminder we're posting the best films over a 10 day period (two films per day) then going a live chat for the anouncement of the remaining categories after that 10 day period as long as it doesn't coincide with Lost!!!

We are scheduled to start the announcments on Friday morning.

Jesus you guys are teases. We are men (well some of us), foreplay sucks.  ;)

Some tidbits about negative votes:

- There were a total off 88 negative votes cast across 59 different films.  
- (For comparison's sake there where 2515 positive votes in the category)

- Half of the films in the Top 20 garnered at least one negative!
- 23 of the films in the Top 50 garnered at least one negative!

- Two films just missed the top 20 due to negative votes!
- Two other films  just missed the top 50 due to negative votes!

So - like 'em or not, the negative votes did make an impact....

The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. Oh by the way, which one's Pink?

Exciting! I'm sure you'll tell us which films these are as soon as you've revealed the whole top 20, won't you?!?

Also, you may have mentioned this already but can you share stats on the number of people who sent in a ballot (as opposed to total number of votes)?
