Jean de Florette (1986) one of decade’s greatest films
The deadline for submitting completed Top 25 ballots for the 1980’s poll is Saturday October 10 at 11:00 P.M. EST. As per our standard, voters are allowed 10 days after Allan Fish’s #1 choice is unveiled, which in this case is scheduled for tomorrow morning (Wednesday, September 30). Ballots are presently being examined and verified by Voting Tabulator Extraordinaire Angelo A. D’Arminio Jr., and again the participation has been impressive. After the poll results are announced sometime around October 12-13, the 90’s poll will commence with Allan’s list of 51-100 “nearlies” to kick itoff, to be followed by the 50 top choices, one a day as typical. For all those who have participated and/or plan to do so WitD issues heartfelt thanks.

I hope to get my ballot in before this deadline. This time period is my favorite.
I am already starting to gather my choices for the 90’s poll.
Hi! Sam Juliano, Allan Fish, and Angelo A. D’Arminio Jr., ( Voting Tabulator Extraordinaire) and WitD readers…
I too hope to take part in the 90s countdown…(minus the 100 smilies… 😉 )
Jean de Florette (1986) one of decade’s greatest films
By the way,
Is the 1986 film Jean de Florette Allan’s number one choice?…No?

You’re very welcome!

Thanks Dee Dee! Actually, JEAN DE FLORETTE finished somewhere in Allan’s 50 to 100, so he does rate the film highly. But I rate it higher, and I used the still here arbitrarily to bring some attention to the film in this announcement post. Naturally, I hope you do participate in the 90’s poll, in fact I’ll be depressed if you don’t. And the smileys too please!
