***Antsmarching.org’s Top Films of 2013***

[jrod41]

I'm guessing...

3. Wolf of Wall Street
2. 12 Years a Slave
1. Her

[junior94]

holy shit Gravity was as far down as 4th??

damn you, Matthew!!


edit: I can totally accept it if Her would win over that, but no way in hell should WOWS be higher than Gravity. maybe if it chopped off 45 minutes.

[Balor3012]

Yeah fuck WOWS being top 3

[clayj41]

3. The Wolf of Wall Street (Avg. 8.05; Lists: 22/25; Top 5: 11; Top 10: 18)

very curious... it makes the top 3, but not a single person chose it as their #1.

which, going by the academy rules, it wouldn't even have gotten a nomination, then, right? At least under the new current set up, a movie has to receive at least a certain number of number one votes overall to then get a Best Pic nom?

To qualify, yes. But that's not our qualification procedure. We do use a preferential balloting type system though like the Academy does to determine the final winner.

[junior94]

right, I hear ya. But I'll be very interested to see that for here on ants ballots, will WOWS be the only "top 5" film that didn't snag a single vote for #1 from anyone.

[clayj41]

2. Her (Avg. 5.1; Lists: 20/25; 1st Place Votes: 6 (AlpineValley804, haybale97, dmbbearcat, TrippingBilly95, ExistenceNow, Route_2); Top 5: 14; Top 10: 17)

1. 12 Years a Slave (Avg. 4.35; Lists: 20/25; 1st Place Votes: 7 (clayj41, dmbetc, Rodey, johnsonc1, BotheDMBFan, jrod41, mthawk07); Top 5: 15; Top 10: 18)

That's as close as it gets, folks.

Wow! Both are deserving, though.

[haybale97]

Can't go wrong with that top 2. I'll take it in either order.

[jrod41]

so happy to see 12 Years a Slave get #1. Wish I could have seen Her though.

[dmbetc]

I'm happy with these results. That was fun!

so jrod, just so I understand, the total amount of films you saw officially released in the calendar year of 2013 was 61, that's ALL of what you saw? because initially when I saw your list, I'm thinking how in the holy hell do you have Movie 43 on there, even if it is as far down as #61. But if that's just everything that you watched overall, well then if you're doing a ranking obviously SOMEthing has to be 61 on that list, so I can understand that. and it makes me fear for your soul a lot less.

Yes, the list I posted was a list of every 2013 movie I watched. Movie 43 was the worst film I saw so it was #61 of 61 total films. Granted, I knew it was shit going in, I just saw it was on Netflix and was bored so I decided to get hammered and watch it for the hell of it so bad
