    MC Consensus - Best of the Decade So Far

    Submit your TEN favorite films from this year and in a week I will give you a top TWENTY FIVE. All films with an IMDb date of 2010 or later will be eligible including films from the current year.

    The point system is as follows

    1st Place- 10 points
    2nd Place - 8 points
    3rd Place - 7 points
    4th Place - 6 points
    5th Place - 5 points
    6th Place - 4.5 points
    7th Place - 4 points
    8th Place - 3.5 points
    9th Place - 3 points
    10th Place - 2.5 points

    (Point system is weighted to give your top film a boost and to minimize the discrepancy between the films in the bottom half of your list.)

    There will be no restrictions on short films. A list must have ten films to be eligible. If you list more than ten films, I will assume that the top ten films are the ones you want to receive points. If you do not list your films 1-10, I will assign the points from the top on down.

    If you decide to edit your ballot, please make a new post indicating the changes. I will give at least 24 hours warning before tallying votes.

    If, for some reason, you would like to like to submit your ballot via private message, I will accept those as well. However, your ballot will be revealed after the final results are posted.

    You may begin now.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    "We eventually managed to find them near Biskupin, where demonstrations of prehistoric farming are organized. These oxen couldn't be transported to anywhere else, so we had to built the entire studio around them. A scene that lasted twenty-something seconds took us a year and a half to prepare."
