Paid Members Green Posted November 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2011 This looks familiar... Indeed it may. Quite a while back UKFF alumni The Dart created a similar thread detailing the best films voted for by the UKFF (and somehow Saw 2 made it in...what was with that?) Unfortunately, said thread has been forever lost in one of the infamous forum crashes so I thought it was time to re-do it. However, rather than be too uninspired and just rip off his idea, I thought it'd be fun to explore both extremes and try to compile a list of not just the UKFF members favorite films, but their least favorite ones too. Â So how does it work? You, the loyal UKFF members, e-mail me your choices by Thursday, 1st December. I will then count the votes and begin the countdown the following week. There will be two separate lists: a top 25 and a bottom 25, adding up to 50 all together. I'd do 100 if I thought there'd be enough interest but I don't think even the best write-ups would be able to keep it from going stale. Â How exactly do I vote? We're going to stick with a good old fashioned method for this one. Just e-mail me your top 10 best/worst lists by the date mentioned above (which is subject to change, if need be) at reekingofawesomeness@hotmail.co.uk. PLEASE INCLUDE A RELATED SUBJECT TITLE! Anything marked "No Subject" could be missed. PMs are also welcome but the e-mail method is better, just incase my inbox gets full. Â How will my votes be counted? You should know the drill by now; your number 10 choice will receive +1 points, with the number of points increasing to a maximum of +10 for your number 1 choice. Vote collecting methods are the same for both lists. Â Anything else? While optional, it would certainly add more to the countdown if you could include some reasons behind your choices, even if only for a select few. Â Are you actually going to stick with this one, Mr Squash Match Directory? Firstly, I will update that thread, I swear. Secondly, this will be done over a slightly longer time span so, as long as there's interest, it will be done. I could always use some help and/or advice on laying out the write-ups though. Maybe from some more seasoned list makers (I'm looking at you, Nev). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted November 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2011 Saw 2 was Mike Castle's doing. Wouldn't be surprised if DJ Switzerland had a hand in there as well. Â Just to clarify, are we voting for best or favourite / worst or least favourite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted November 16, 2011 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'm going for favourites/least favourites. Will have to remember to compile this tonight - I'm going to have to cross-check with my Flixster account to ensure I don't forget any obvious ones...

Paid Members Green Posted November 16, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2011 Saw 2 was Mike Castle's doing. Wouldn't be surprised if DJ Switzerland had a hand in there as well. Just to clarify, are we voting for best or favourite / worst or least favourite? I imagine it'd be the latter. There's no fun in a purely academic list.  Except of course for Ian's fantastic top 50 wrestlers thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSF Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I might be simple, but do you want us to send you a top 10 and bottom 10 (20 films in total)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Green Posted November 16, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2011 That would be correct. It's either you being simple or me not writing very clearly. The latter is more likely...but I'll go with the former to make me feel more competent. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 16, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 16, 2011 I've decided that if I overthink this I'll never submit anything so I've just reeled off 10 of each and PM'd it through. I have given reasons but not extensive write ups... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSF Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Is everyone entering what they would consider the best, or their favourates, because to me that creates two completely different lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 16, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 16, 2011 favourites mostly, but slightly tempered with a consideration for artistic merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted November 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2011 Green has specified favourites, I think, which is fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate diggity Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 It has to be favourite as opposed to best, otherwise Muppet's Christmas Carol might not make it in, through some kind of anti-puppetry snobbery. Â And it'd fucking better make it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelEdge Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I tend to erase shit films from my memory soon after watching them, so are we allowed to just send in a Top 10 Favourite list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is acceptable, although I implore you all to have a go at the both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Foale Posted November 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2011 Have just sent over both lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
