I'm game. Gives me something to do when things are slow at work.

GC, you may want to consider posting a ballot template (with examples of preferred format) to make your life easier when it comes to tabulating.


My template will work exactly how the top 100 films works. And I will extend the dealine to December 31, 2010 at 11:59:59 P.M. (or 23:59:59). For reference of the ballot look here.

And the formatting? Or do you care?

We've got Top 100 Directors, Top 100 Books and Top 100 Documentaries already planned for this year. :-\

What happened to your multitasking ambition? ;)

Couldn't we do them in tandem? I mean, for Best of Decade we had a dozen categories going, not just film and director.

Hoisted on my own petard. :D

I take full responsibility for this...It was just too much for me at one time, I'm really sorry. I'm happy this is happening again. :)
Nah, not your fault at all, your effort was terrific. It was just a matter of timing; people were distracted by some other lists that were going on so it was hard to get them focused on it, and I know for myself I was really busy with school at the time.

   48      Robert Shaw      Jaws   
   52      Jeff Bridges    The Big Lebowski   
   53      Alec Baldwin      Glengarry Glen Ross   
   57      Jack Lemmon      Glengarry Glen Ross   
   58      Bruce Lee      Enter the Dragon   
   59      Denzel Washington      Training Day   
   70      Walter Matthau      The Taking of Pelham 123

Just to get started here is a rough, unranked list of "performances that came to mind." Apparently I really like it when 12 year old girls act. Question...can we basically pick a role rather than a film? Can I pick Julie Delpy as Celine rather than choosing between Sunrise/Sunset or Alan Rickman as Snape, generally?

That's a good question...

Yes. If they play the same character in multiple films, it counts as one. So Uma as The Bride is one selection (labeled: Uma Thurman - Kill Bill). But if you just like the performance in one film, please specify (i.e. Al Pacino as Michael Corleone - The Godfather 1 & 2).

Glad to see another list go up so quickly B ;D. I can tell the 'oh yeah, I missed that!' factor is going to be very high with this list.

Mine is a far cry short of 100 still so I'll be adding a lot as others post and eventually ranking.
