60’s Poll is Officially Launched; Five Ballots Already Cast

by Sam Juliano

     The ‘Best Films of the 1960’s’ poll has officially launched, and five ballots have already been cast by Ed Howard of Only the Cinema, Ari of The Aspect Ratio, Voting Tabulator Angelo A. D’Arminio, Kaleem Hasan of Satyamshot, and a fellow named Sam Juliano.  As always, voters are asked to list their Top 25 in order of preference, and are offered the option of listing more choices and/or runners-up.  Those with ballots ready only need to click on the “Best Movies of the 60’s’ thread link right under the Wonders in the Dark header.

     The poll’s conclusion is not firm, but is estimated to be the end of May, only a few days after Allan Fish’s Top 50 countdown is complete.

     As per Mr. D’Arminio’s tabulating specification, the #1 choice is awarded 35 points, the #2 30 points, #3 25 points, and then a one-point drop for the remainder on the list.

     It is widely believed that the 60’s may well be the richest period in movie history, and the strongest decade ever for foreign-language cinema.

     We look forward to those lists and thank everyone for their most-valued involvement!
