Movies are one of those magical inventions that brings together people from all over the world and from all walks of life. Every online social platform has vast and vibrant communities of movie lovers. Who doesn't like movies, after all? Some love the superhero films, while others go for more eclectic cinema; and everything in between.
So, why not Steemit? I have been curious since day one - what kind of movies do Steemians like? I had to give it a shot - let's find out. A good ol' fashioned popularity contest.
How to participate
All you need to do is write a comment with your Top 10 movies of all time. There are no real rules, it can be a feature film from 1905, a short film from 2016 or a documentary from Turkmenistan. Just no TV shows, please. It could also be a Top 5 if you prefer, but no less than 5 and no more than 10. Lists can be ranked or unranked, but please mention.
100% of all liquid rewards earned from this post will be equally distributed to all commenters. Call it participation rewards, shall we?
The Process
Comments will be tallied for the next 48 hours till 3rd Mar 12 PM UTC. The top movies list will then be announced on 3rd and 4th Mar. It could be a Top 10 or a Top 50 - just depends on how many samples we get.
Very simple - I shall keep adding everyone's picks to a spreadsheet. Each entry gets a vote, the top ones win. For ranked lists, the entries will be weighted by rank. In the future we could perhaps have a more weighted system, but this will do for starters.
So there you go folks, look forward to discovering Steemit's favorite movies! Don't think too hard - just some movies you really like at the top of your mind. Let's have some fun!
(PS: Yes, I know, the correct spelling is favourite.)
PPS: Someone sent me a list on Steemit.chat privately. That's fine too, if you'd wish to stay anonymous.
PPPS: For trilogies, please combine them. For example - The Lord of the Rings or Star Wars (OT) etc.
Here are mine. Those are the one which I found that are really great movies. Some of them, however, are here because I really think they are "great movies", not because I really like them.
Also unranked:
Jurassic Park
Titanic
2001
Dracula (by Francis F. Coppola)
Schindler's List
Nightmare before Christmas
Donnie Darko
The Matrix
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Life of Brian

Alright, there's such a list but I have to start with a movie I have seen over a hundred times by now, then the list goes with movies/documentaries, without any specific order:
1- BARAKA
2- AVATAR
3- THE FOUNTAIN
4- THE LORD OF THE RINGS
5- STAR WARS
6- DUNE
7- RABBIT-PROOF FENCE
8- BOURNE (THE JASON BOURNE SERIES)
9- KUNDUN
10- MICROCOSMOS
Though an entirely different choice would have went forth for documentaries, I had to include the two state of the art corner stones of cinematography and films: BARAKA & MICROCOSMOS.
I also want to thank the participants and @liberosist for this opportunity of quality sharing. All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
