TIBBs favourite Movie of all time

[Alf]

I did TIBBs favourite British sitcom a while back, now I'm gonna run TIBBs all Time favourite movie.

I shall again do it in heats, from each decade, the top places in each decade will go through to the final.


Coming soon!

[Niamh.]

Oh excellent, looking forward to that

[Kate!]

Ah brilliant Alf. Look forward to voting. X

[Tony Montana]

[Shaun]

How do you decide which movies make the list :worry:

[Crimson Dynamo]

good to see you Alfy boy


:clap1:

[Kazanne]

Yea , Alfs back,look forward to playing this.

[Oliver_W]

Nice :D Quite a few movies come out each year though, let alone each decade!

Maybe you could do January 1960, Feb 1960 etc etc etc and the winner(/s) of each month go(/es) on to the final for that year?

I feel like that's one of those films that everyone knows all about, but no-one's actually seen.

my girls liked it when they were young as i recall

[Alf]

How do you decide which movies make the list :worry:That's why it's coming soon and not today, I'm still trying to work out how best to do it, I believe a poll only gives 25 options?

You could do part 1 and part 2

That 2 thread 50 movies

[Marsh.]

Do it a bit like Most Loved. Everyone who wants to take part submits a list of 10 nominations for each category (or decade etc). Then open voting for the most popular nominations.

[michael21]

Cant wait for this

[Alf]

Do it a bit like Most Loved. Everyone who wants to take part submits a list of 10 nominations for each category (or decade etc). Then open voting for the most popular nominations.That's an idea. Maybe people could pick there top 20 in each decade in a ranked order, 20 points for first, 1 point for 20th.Then we should get enough films to do a top 50 countdown of each decade. And then each decade winner will go into a poll.

[Alf]

How far back in decades could most people go? I could go back as far as the 1930's but I doubt there's many others on here who could go back that far?

Make it 60's and onwards.

[Marsh.]

There's some 50s gems. :nono:

[Denver]

Indian in the Cupboard or dont bother

[LaLaLand]

Here for this :clap2:

DESPITE your wrong opinions on Tarantino. :smug:

[Amy Jade]

Sounds fun!

[Alf]

I need a deputy, someone who can do a good countdown thread with videos an information of the film.

And they might need to take over if I'm sent back to Tibb jail. Which is inevitable.

[Alf]

If you don't include the 30s then The Wizard of Oz or Classic Laurel and Hardy films doesn't get a chance.

The 40s has to be in, probably the strongest decade for Hollywood and also a great era for British cinema.

The main reason I want to do this is to raise awareness of classic cinema, try and keep it alive and not forgotten, and maybe interest someone to take a journey into it.

[LaLaLand]

Music to my ears Alf! :clap2:

[Alf]

I'm guessing most people have seen Wizard of Oz and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? Maybe Frankenstein and Gone with the Wind also? So we at least have a start on the 30s decade.

[LaLaLand]

You could do like 50's to now in decades, and then like a list of honourable mentions of pre-50's, the big ones that most people are bound to have seen at least once or partly, or "heard of" at the very, very least.

[Alf]

I know what film Ammi is choosing for her number 1 of the sixties.

I think I know what Shaun will choose for his number one of the 90s, but not certain.

Apart from that, I can't predict anything else that is gonna happen, which is exciting.

You dont know what 90s film I'm gonna pick as #1

[Alf]

You dont know what 90s film I'm gonna pick as #1White men can't jump?

[Denver]

White men can't jump?

Me when I watch Mitchell try jumping a skipping rope

[Alf]

So the plan is to start with the early decades first, that gives this current decade a chance to end, I know some need to see the new Tarantino film before making a decision.

We'll start with the 30s and 60s together. Then we'll do the 40s and 50s together. Then the 70s, then the 80s, then the 90s, then the 00s and then this current decade. We'll do it by one decade at a time.

You send me a pm with your top 20 of each decade ranked in order, I will then add up the scores and we'll have a top 50 countdown for each decade.

Are people happy with this format? Or do you have a suggestion you'd like to make, about anything?

If enough people agree with that, then we can maybe get this underway this weekend. I need feedback, as Dina Carroll once said "don't be a stranger."

Don't send me your film choices yet, I'll let you know in a new thread when we start.

[Marsh.]

Not Alf trying to give the Wizard of Oz a head start with all this promo!

[Alf]

Not Alf trying to give the Wizard of Oz a head start with all this promo!I returned to the forum today after a long holiday and thought to myself, there's no place like home.

[Alf]

So is everybody OK with how this is gonna work? Anybody think it should be done differently?

I need some clarification and confirmation from people before I start, I need to know this can be a success.

[Ammi]

...I don’t know, Alf...the only thing I can think is to do categories/genres...rather than decades...your top dramas/top comedies etc with however many choices you want to give and with each genre crossing and including all decades...?...but what I always say with these things...(...because it was something said to me when I was doing ML ...)...is do it your way, make it an Alf Production and it’ll give you lots of pleasure ....good luck...

I'm in!

[Crimson Dynamo]

The Wizard of Oz is unique as colour production was literally invented half way through shooting so they adopted it, hence the start in b/w!

[Alf]

The Wizard of Oz is unique as colour production was literally invented half way through shooting so they adopted it, hence the start in b/w!80 years old this year. A timeless Masterpiece.

Speaking of timeless masterpieces, "Kes" is 50 years old this year, I mention that because I'm just about to watch it. A perfect way to spend my Saturday morning, with possibly the greatest film ever made.

[Oliver_W]

I have a grudge against Kes - we used to keep birds of prey, and my teacher showed us it in class once so I was called "Casper" for most of primary school ...

[Alf]

I have a grudge against Kes - we used to keep birds of prey, and my teacher showed us it in class once so I was called "Casper" for most of primary school ...And now you shall be known as Casper on here from now on.

[Oliver_W]

And now you shall be known as Casper on here from now on.

:fist:

We didn't even have a kestrel!

[Shaun]

I'll have to do some research for the early decades, there's not many I've seen :worry: never seen the Wizard of Oz, for example

[Niamh.]

[Shaun]

I wouldn't mind helping with the "countdown" aspect of it btw, I think Alf mentioned that somewhere on a previous post. The results would be spoiled for me but it's something I'm kinda-used to posting :laugh:

[Oliver_W]

Tbh your parents need to be reported for neglect.

[Amy Jade]

I'm a little confused, are we to nominate now or wait until there is an announcement?

[AnnieK]

This....would like to take part but not sure when to vote etc

[user104658]

The Wizard of Oz is unique as colour production was literally invented half way through shooting so they adopted it, hence the start in b/w!Not to be a nay-sayer LT but I don't think this is actually true... Technicolor was available before production started but using Technicolor was insanely expensive compared to black and white film,so because there was going to be this magical transition anyway (between the real world and Oz) they decided to film the beginning and end without colour to save money, and for creative reasons emphasising the contrast between the plain ol' Kansas and the magical Oz "over tha rainbow", etc.

You couldn't get the same effect now because colour is obviously the norm, but I imagine it was quite a "moment" in those old cinemas when the audience was watching a normal B&W movie and then all of a sudden it fades to black and comes back in vibrant hues :flutter:

[Alf]

If you want to do the countdown threads Shaun, then that's fine by me.

[Alf]

So I was thinking, if you want to send your top 20 films for the first heat, which will be a combination of films from the 1930s and 1960s, then you can do so now if you wish. However, I'll give you a week or so to send them in, so there's no rush. We'll do 1 heat a week.

If you haven't seen 20 films from this era, then just list as many as you've seen and liked, It doesn't matter if you don't get 20.

Send your list, ranked in order from 1 to 20 by pm to me by Friday and then Shaun can decide when he wants to do the first countdown thread. Then we do heat 2.

I hope you all understand me? I have a very strong Hul accent

[Alf]

Quick tip, just type in Google, "films of 1966" (or whichever year you want to research) or maybe type in "best films of" and then the year.

You might just find something you forgot about.

[Marsh.]

The Wizard of Oz is unique as colour production was literally invented half way through shooting so they adopted it, hence the start in b/w!

No. The opening was filmed in sepia-tone and Oz was filmed in colour in order to make Oz appear more magical.

Hope that's helpful.

[GiRTh]

I'll send mine soon. Its gonna be about half a dozen Billy Wilder films, half a a dozen Hitchcock movie and fill in the rest with Howard Hawks, John Ford and Preston Sturgess. :joker:

[Alf]

stardust winsProbably not.

[Alf]

Don't forget this first round I just want your top 20, in order from best to least, of films from a combination of the 1930s and 1960s films.

[Amy Jade]

I have a list just struggling with the order rn

[Mokka]

So, clarify for me. Am I voting 10 from the 30s and 10 from the 60s? 20 and 20 from each??? Or just 20 across both decades without it having to be evenly weighted.

Working on a list rt now

[Marsh.]

Here for a Hitchcock win. :clap1:

[Alf]

So, clarify for me. Am I voting 10 from the 30s and 10 from the 60s? 20 and 20 from each??? Or just 20 across both decades without it having to be evenly weighted.

Working on a list rt nowNo! You can choose all 20 from the 1960s if you want, just pick your 20 from both decades combined.

[Alf]

Number of lists I've received so far?

Zero


Which I'm taking as a good thing, it means you're all thinking hard about this. If I still haven't received a list by Thursday, then I'll panic.

[Alf]

Don't forget to send your list by Friday evening.

Remember, if you can't make a list of 20, just list as many as you can.

[Alf]

Well it's panic time.

It's not looking good for this, It's looking like a non starter.

Nevermind!

[James]

I think having to private message someone, rather than post on the thread, puts people off taking part.

[Shaun]

I can see James' point but I think the main drawback at the moment is merely the decade... I don't think anyone outside of perhaps 10 members who actively use the Films section could name more than 5 movies they enjoy from the 30s.

(Also I've been away all week, sorry for not voting yet)

[Kate!]

Yes. What Shaun said is true. I bet if you asked for 80s and 90s films you would get a much bigger response.

[joeysteele]

I actually love the much older films.
I find the acting more convincing.
Especially in Bette Davis films.
I adore that woman.

[Amy Jade]

I had a list of movies but I got confused about how to send them to be honest. I think Shaun also has a point as I struggled with the 30's a lot!

[Shaun]

Voted!
