CFB Polls: 1966 ***POLL IS CLOSED***


Welcome to CFB's yearly poll. This poll is for the year 1966.

To help you with your ballot and in finding films, here are some resources:

IMDb's list of most-rated features from 1966: http://www.imdb.com/search/title?release_date=1966,1966&sort=num_votes,desc&title_type=feature

Wikipedia article:

General rules for the polls:

1. Feature films, documentaries, short films, and TV movies and miniseries are eligible for these polls; individual television episodes and continuing TV series are not.

2. One list per user, please! Sockpuppets and trolls are not welcome.

3. You may vote for as few as FIVE and as many as TWENTY films for this poll. If you wish to mention more films as runners-up, that's fine - but please make sure to be quite clear as to what films are in your top 20 ballot.

4. You may list choices in order of preference, in which case your top film will receive 20 points, the next 19, and so on, or in no order, in which case each film will receive the same number of points. Please make sure to make your intentions are clear - if your choices are in order PLEASE number them!!!

5. I prefer original titles AND American/English language titles, as well as the name of the director(s); this makes the poll easier for me - less things to look up. The most important factor is accuracy in any case; I would appreciate more information so I can make sure that I am getting the lists correct.

6. We go by IMDb dates for these polls; while there are instances in which IMDb dates are debatable, or in which they have changed dates between polls, in general the IMDb listing is the default. Should you have questions about debates please let me know rather than assuming that I will just take what you give me, no questions asked.

7. There will be a questions & answers post immediately following this one for problematic films to be listed and status updates for this poll.

It's sometimes listed as 1967 (right now), sometimes as 1966 (wikipedia).

According to my records, it was not in my ballot when we did 1967.

reply

I'll allow it.

Hi OldAle. Any chance at all that you might be open to keeping the poll open for a little while longer? Such an amazing year that just keeps throwing up so many treasures as one explores. Totally up to you, of course, and I very much like each one of my selected films as things stand but there are so, so many that I would still love to see. I don't know whether any other contributors feel the same way.

That's all, folks!

I don't know whether any other contributors feel the same way.
Some certainly do  I haven't hit anywhere near the bottom of the barrel.

Yes, see below - at least until Wednesday.


Be true, Unbeliever.
