The moderators are looking for lists to adopt as official iCM lists. You may nominate up to 3 lists by posting them in this thread (personal lists and filmography lists are not eligible).
After the nomination phase is over:
The moderators will review the nominations and choose approximately 60-80 lists that we think may be popular with the users, and have a chance of being adopted within the next few years.
There will be a single voting phase. There will be a web form where you can rate each list based on how much you want it to be official. Voting will begin near the end of November, and will last 4 weeks.
When you nominate a list, please include the following information:
List title, year of publication, iCM list URL, number of films, list order, who created the list. If it’s not clear from the title, please briefly explain what the list is about.
John Waters’ Yearly Top 10 Picks (2001 - ) https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/john+waters+yearly+top+10+picks/dulcedoes/
yearly top 10, added up over time (currently 216 films)
10 favorites selected by the famous director, strikes a peculiar but perfect balance between various underseen strains of filmmaking (arthouse, lgbtq, genre/cult) with more notable mainstream titles every year.
Venice Film Festival - Grand Jury Prize (1951 - ) https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/venice+film+festival+-+grand+jury+prize/timec/
a still growing award list (currently 61 films)
the number 2 prize awarded at this “ancient” festival that is ever growing in status. just taking a glance at some of the titles gives you an impression of how good of a list this is!
Público’s Top Portuguese Films to Show in Schools https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/publicos+top+portuguese+films+to+show+in+schools/lampadatriste/ 58 films, ranked.
The best Portuguese list. 10 important Portuguese personalities chose their top 10 Portuguese films to be shown in schools. Among them were directors, poets, writers, a philosopher, an art curator, an architect and a film critic.
Instead of suggesting a third list, I’d like to… suggest 75 lists! LaCinetek have made a lot of favourite lists from acclaimed directors. And Gershwin have been so kind to adding them all to iCM. The «director» tab needs more entries!
Would it be to much trouble to ask the moderators to pick one (or more) as my third pick? Others are more than welcome to suggest some them self.
To be clear, the under 13 list, which is official, is the first two lists combined. We combined them because for the ICM userbase there isn’t much value in separating them. The distinction is still there in the ordering.
We excluded the “over 13” films because they undermine the point a “films for children” list.
