  1. Ballotin of choccies's icon

    Ballotin of choccies

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Ballot for 2020 ICM forum poll of favourite obscure films. Titled, whimsically, "Ballotin of choccies". Ranked in order 1-467.
  2. Top 30 faves - not official checks and less than 2000 IMDb votes's icon

    Top 30 faves - not official checks and less than 2000 IMDb votes

    Favs/dislikes: 0:0. The result of a fun game of creating a personal favourites list using only films that had less than 2000 IMDb votes and were not official checks on this site
  3. Faves with no official checks's icon

    Faves with no official checks

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0.
  4. 2022 ballot for 500 < 400 poll's icon

    2022 ballot for 500 < 400 poll

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. All films have less than 400 checks on ICM at the time of list creation. This is for the 2022 poll on the ICMForum. All of these films are on my top 1000 all-time list.
  5. All films mentioned in Film Comment's "Final Cut 2009" lists's icon

    All films mentioned in Film Comment's "Final Cut 2009" lists

    Favs/dislikes: 0:0. Sphinx on the Seine by Paul Clipson, K-CoreaINC.K (section a) by Ryan Trecartin and Plato’s Atlantis by Alexander McQueen are not currently listed on IMDb. All three are at the time of writing freely available online to view. The films mentioned here are from the "Editors' Choice" lists, these were mostly top 10s but some naughty people snuck some more in. There were 4 movies in the "20 Best Unreleased Films of 2009" list that weren't in any of the Editors' Choice list, I have appended these at the end of the list. The individual ballots that made up the "20 Best Films of 2009" and "20 Best Unreleased Films of 2009" were unpublished. All those 40 movies are in this list. They were chosen by "100 North American colleagues" each asked for a top 20.
  6. All films voted for in Sight & Sound magazine's critics' poll of the films of 2009's icon

    All films voted for in Sight & Sound magazine's critics' poll of the films of 2009

    Favs/dislikes: 0:0. Not all of the films are described by IMDb as 2009 as many voters were voting for films going by release dates in their own territories, or general release dates as opposed to festival release dates. This IMDb list ignores the mentions of revivals and best dvd releases in the Sight & Sound ballots, excepting Thomas Heise's Material, which seems to have been listed as a revival in order to get another name on the submitter's list (stated reason was "My favourite ‘revival release’ of 2009 is actually a new film, but it took 20 years to become what it is."). The Sight & Sound list also contains En Attendant Godard (William Brown), which according to IMDb wasn't released anywhere in the world until 2010, though we will give Jonathan Rosenbaum the benefit of the doubt and assume he saw it in 2009. The Ferroni Brigade voted for Contact High and in their description also praised Das Vaterspiel in their blurb about Contact High, "A stoner comedy cum Glawoggerian magnum opus. One of the richest films of the decade, and even more astonishing as the yang to Glawogger’s great yin, Der Vaterspiel (Kill Daddy Good Night)." I have taken the liberty of considering them a pair and given the Ferronis six movies given both were released in 2009. The Sight & Sound poll for the year 2010 also contained some films listed by IMDb as 2009, and not on this list including: The Red Riding Trilogy (2009 - Julian Jarrold, James Marsh & Anand Tucker) 1 (2009 - Pater Sparrow) Amer (2009 - Hélène Cattet & Bruno Forzani) Compline (2009 - Nathaniel Dorsky) La bocca del lupo / The Mouth of the Wolf (2009 - Pietro Marcello) Man on a Motorcycle (2009 - John Maclean) Tetro (2009 - Francis Ford Coppola) Down Terrace (2009 - Ben Wheatley) Panique au village / A Town Called Panic (2009 - Stéphane Aubier, Vincent Patar) Final Flesh (2009 - Ike Sanders) The Pickers (2009 - Adam Chodzko) Wei wen / Condolences (2009 - Liang Ying) La vie au ranch / Chicks (2009 - Sophie Letourneur) Gentlemen Broncos (2009 - Jared Hess) My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done (2009 - Werner Herzog) Trash Humpers (2009 - Harmony Korine) Pouta / Walking Too Fast (2009 - Radim Spacek) Oil City Confidential (2009 - Julien Temple) Capitalism: A Love Story (2009 - Michael Moore) Agora (2009 - Alejandro Amenábar) The Secret of Kells (2009 - Tomm Moore, Nora Twomey) Medeni mesec / Honeymoons (2009 - Goran Paskaljevic) My Queen Karo (2009 - Dorothée Van Den Berghe) Ajami (2009 - Scandar Copti, Yaron Shani) Budrus (2009 - Julia Bacha) Double Tide (2009 - Sharon Lockhart) Kawasakiho ruze / Kawasaki's Rose (2009 - Jan Hrebejk) El secreto de sus ojos / The Secret in Their Eyes (2009 - Juan José Campanella) Shed Your Tears and Walk Away (2009 - Jez Lewis) Mavro livadi / Black Field (2009 - Vardis Marinakis) Whatever Works (2009 - Woody Allen) 9:06 (2009 - Igor Sterk) Voodoo Science Park (2009 - Steve Beard, Victoria Halford) Napoli, Napoli, Napoli (2009 - Abel Ferrara) Persécution (2009 - Patrice Chéreau) Videocracy (2009 - Erik Gandini) Mother and Child (2009 - Rodrigo García) Ivul (2009 - Andrew Kotting) Ruhr (2009 - James Benning) Alamar (2009 - Pedro González-Rubio)
  7. Long faves list's icon

    Long faves list

    Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Start of a project to create a top 1000 favourites list. Still needing a lot of refining, soul searching, and catching up on high profile unseen movies. "Official" publication date circa Christmas 2023.
  8. Britannia - Heimat's icon

    Britannia - Heimat

    Favs/dislikes: 0:0. A list of masterpieces from my homeland of the UK. Firm criteria, no international co-productions, and no violations of common sense, to be included a film has to feel British. List is fully ranked from 1-100. Red Riding is a series of three movies from three directors, all covering murders in the same part of Yorkshire, but over different decades, all released in successive weeks of 2009. I consider them a complete work (they can be viewed separately or together). The listing of Red Riding Hood 1974 is intended to cover all three.
