They Shoot Pictures, Don't They have released a spreadsheet with the votes for all 5,945 films that received votes, so I can now check to see how my stragglers did. As I noted earlier, 8 of my 25 choices did not make the list of the top 1005. Here is how they fared:
About a month ago, I took part in a poll at the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They website where users listed their 25 favorite films. They received 1,983 replies, with a total of 5,945 films chosen. The final results of that poll have been posted. I find things like this endlessly fascinating. If you are like me, you'll want to check out the site, where you can see lists like "Ten Highest Ranked Films in the 1,000 Greatest Films List That Are Not in the 1,005 Film Favourites List", "Ten Lowest Ranked 21st Century Films in the 21st Century’s Most Acclaimed Films List That Are in the 1,005 Film Favourites List", and "Leading 25 Directors (Total Votes)". I may delve into this further in a later post, but for now, here again are the 25 films I chose, listed by their ranking on the final list. First, films that did not make the Top 1005:
Black Panther (Coogler, who does not appear on the list)
Near Dark (Bigelow, who does not appear on the list)
The Rapture (Tolkin, who does not appear on the list)

I'll list mine in alphabetical order:
