Films of the 1990s: 1994 (2016 edition)

Post by Petri »

Time for 1994 movies.

The rules:

You can post a list of anywhere between 1 and 20 films (or more, but only 20 will be counted) from the period we're covering. The deciding factor in terms of release dates is the RYM list and the top 15 of each period will go on to the final top 150. The deadline is 31st of October. If you haven't voted for your favorite movies of 1993 there's is still two weeks left to do it.

The points scheme is as follows:
1. 50
2. 40
3. 35
4. 30
5. 25
6. 20
7. 18
8. 16
9. 14
10. 12
11. 10
12. 9
13. 8
14. 7
15. 6
16. 5
17. 4
18. 3
19. 2
20. 1

However, these are the maximum amounts of points. If you want to put certain films on your list but don't want to give them too many points, you can choose to give these less points than in this scheme (but never more) to decrease the impact on the overall results. If you don't specifically state that you want to give (some of) your films fewer points, I will assume the standard scheme.

Here are some lists to remind you of the films released in 1994:

IMDb
RYM
Films101
RottenTomatoes

If you vote for 4 movies or less, this is the adjusted scores:
4 votes
1. Movie 40 p
2. 35 p
3. 30 p
4. 25 p

3 votes
1. Movie 35 p
2. 30 p
3. 25 p

2 votes
1. Movie 30 p
2. 25 p

1 vote
1. Movie 25 p

1994 was so good I had to expand to a Top 15 list. Just a Top 10 would have left off too many worthy films.

1) Ed Wood (#18)
2) Shawshank Redemption (#55)
3) Pulp Fiction (#75)
4) Leon: The Professional
5) Lion King
6) Three Colors: Red
7) Satantango
8) Hoop Dreams
9) The Madness of King George
10) Crumb
11) Lesson Faust
12) Felidae
13) Burnt by the Sun
14) Three Colors: White
15) Exotica

According to this poll a movie with more votes wins in case they have same score. So Three Colors White got several votes during the last days of voting (total 8 votes) beat Four Weddings and a Funeral (total 7 votes).
Pulp Fiction dominated with seven #1 votes. More surprsing was that both Forrest Gump and Lion King missed the top 10 (but not the final) with such good scores.
