Top 25 ballots for the 1960’s poll will be accepted up until 11:00 P.M. EST on Wenesday, June 3rd. Submissions can be made on the ‘Best Movies of the 60’s’ link under the site header. The 60’s polling has been the most successful ever, what with over 40 ballots already submitted, some the result of the site getting over 11,000 hits over a two-day period near the conclusion of the 50’s poll. The reason for the surge, of course was the great honor bestowed upon the site by the IMDB, which included Wonders in the Dark at the #4 position on it’s esteemed “hit list.”
Voting Tabulator Extraordinaire Angelo A. D’Arminio Jr. has been monitoring the submissions since the poll launched, and has been keeping a running tally. Mr. D’Arminio, of Binghampton New York and Fairview, New Jersey, is presently vacationing at Myrtle Beach, S.C., and he hopes to negotiate final results within just days of the June 3rd deadline.
Thanks to all from all around the world who have spent their time and energy putting together lists-your participation is greatly appreciated, and to those who are still pondering a list, you have one week more.
……..Surprised you got so many ballots for this poll. But I’m sure the IMDB listing helped a lot. Look forward to the 70’s polling……….
“Clear? Huh. Why a four-year-old child could understand this report. Run out and find me a four-year-old child, I can’t make head or tail of it. “
Ah, Nick. (Tony) LOL!!!!!!!!!
Groucho is an immortal!
Why not invite WitD readers to submit their own reviews of their favorites. This would provide some balance…
And I think the WitD forums idea put forward by others merits serious consideration. Free no maintenance hosting is available for such an enterprise, which would allow another level of active participation by the readership.
Both of these Tony are excellent ideas, though of course on the second one, we wouldn’t want to do it at the expense of the comment section here. But it warrants some serious consideration.
And WitD readers are hereby urged to consider submitting individual reviews of their favorite decade films. They will be posted in the same manner as any other post written for this site by Allan, Tony, myself, et al. It would be great to have such contributions!
Groucho has told in no uncertain words his post was meant for the one by Allan on the 70s poll: “Gentlemen, Nick here may talk like an idiot, and look like an idiot, but don’t let that fool you: he really is an idiot. I implore you, send him back to his father and brothers, who are waiting for him with open arms in the penitentiary. I suggest that we give him ten years in Leavenworth, or eleven years in Twelveworth.”
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That one truly is a classic!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got back Tony from the “Outback Steakhouse” with the family to celebrate young Jeremy’s 7th birthday. I am assuming that, since this a down under restaurant chain, that you have them all over Sydney, no?
No doubt. Did you have kangaroo steak ;)
Sound like fun!
LOL!!!!
I always get the salmon with a baked potato with that polonaise sauce on the side.
The kids all had the steak though, except for one who had chicken fingers. Lucille had a chicken dish! We passed on that famous bloomin onion appetizer. Too greasy!
Stupid me, too keen to be funny.
Many happen returns to Jeremy! Salut!
No, Tony that WAS funny! I caught that ‘kangeroo steak’ quip!
