Question:

Can we have two characters from the same movie as one nomination if their trajectories are so intertwined that separating them seems to diminish their worth?

Judge's ruling: I'm going to allow it. I very nearly did the same with a nomination I was considering

EDIT:  P.S. This list is impossible to make.

Nonsense. Give it your best shot. :)

Sorry to skip. I have no excuse ...

Boo. Deadline is tomorrow. I'm sure that if you took a random selection of 20 titles from your criterion collection and made a speed list of your favorite characters (from said random selection) then that would be a more interesting list than the one I submitted.

Double dog dare ya (oh christ...now I just remembered another character that I could/should have included)

Almost took up this dare, but just didn't have time. If the deadline were tomorrow, I'd be all over it.

After bouncing around your new blog site, it's no wonder time was at a premium.

I can't speak for Russ, but I wouldn't have a problem with a day extension.

Thanks, Russ, Dirt, Conty, Wifey ..

Yeah, this was a LOT more work than I expected, otherwise I would have been all over this list.

I'll cobble something together.

I just recently bought the Criterion Blu of Broadcast News, so looking forward to a re-viewing (been ages), and then a good listen of your podcast!

List sent!

Thanks for extending the deadline. I probably have a lot of orphans.*

Edit: * and by orphans, that doesn't mean Annie, Oliver Twist or Norbit were on my list.

Thanks to all who took on this impossible task. I am compiling our list and will start posting our nominees this weekend.

Late stragglers (vorn, kid c, cassius, shay, sharon, etc) are welcome to submit lists until then. I think I've got 9 lists, with some fabulous choices. This is going to be a blast.

Once I finish posting all the nominees, you will select and rank your Top 20 and sent that to me. And I will give you RTCD's favorite characters in film.

:party:

Big thanks to our mystery straggler, who not only provided our (partial) tenth list, but also included one of my very last cuts (I'm so happy to see this one included, even if I know it won't make it to the final 20). Oh well, you never know!

THE SUSPENSE


177 characters.

That's what you ten contributors have given me to work with. I will parcel these nominees out to you piecemeal, but with godspeed and all due diligence. These submitted characters all hold a special place for at least one of you and I want to accord them the respect they deserve. Hence the fancy-pants nomination thread.

Surprisingly, during this nomination process, I think I've learned even more about all your tastes than all the years on this forum have yielded.

My goal, once all nominees have been posted, is to have all the submitted RANKED lists to be different from their submitter's original lists. 'Cause hopefully you'll see some obvious omissions that escaped you. And maybe, you'll be encouraged to check out some of these films with which you are not familiar.

So. here we go. A new thread shortly.

Anyone have a follow-up idea to the great one Russ did? Bumping this thread without an original idea of my own...

I don't remember if we've done this here, but maybe top 100s (or just 50 since it'll only be ~10-15 of us) by country or region? Submit up to 50 films per country, at least for the big guns like U.S., Japan, France, Italy and Russia and then cut it down accordingly.

I'd be willing to tally the first one if people are interested in submitting.
