(One of the members is named Ira but how his namebecame the name of the award is a story lost in the mist of time.) The rotating group ofmembers have been profiled in the New Yorker and over the years have included Oscar-winning writers, major directors, top studio executives, best-selling and critically acclaimedauthors on movies, critics and others.</p><p> They have no more claim to pronounce the best films ofthe year than anyone else but they've been doing it for 37 years so hey, it's tradition.If you're like me, the list will infuriate you -- some movies should be higher up, some should belower down and some shouldn't be on the list at all.</p><p> That's half the fun.</p><p> If you're passionateabout movies or TV or books or music or any art form, chances are you've bristled over awardsseason and known you and your friends have better taste.</p><p> How come Archer doesn't win Best Like51 Posted: 04/01/2013 12:40 am SHARE THIS STORY Like40Send Submit this storyComedy?

(Many prior ballotsdetermined the Top 100.) This point total determined what "group" it was in (eg. 91-100, 61-70and so on.) The second point total is for position in that group (eg, among those ten films,which one should be ranked first, which second and so on).</p><p> Some groups saw very little changein order; others saw substantial fluidity.</p><p> When two or more films in a group received the samepoint total, we voted to break the tie.</p><p> For example, "Ordet" and "In A Lonely Place" were tiedfor 10th place but the vote to break the tie placed "In A Lonely Place" in the Top 10 and"Ordet" in the #11-20 group.</p><p> Even though it originally had the most points of any of thosefilms, the final balloting placed "Ordet" at #13 instead of #11.</p><p> On the other hand, "The Earringsof Madame de..." ranked #1 from beginning to end.So how many movies have you seen from this list of the 1950s? What movie is missing? Thanksto Criterion for making the Visconti classic Senso available to me so I could catch up with itbefore the final vote.</p><p> A remarkable number of these movies are in the Criterion Collection, so ifyou want to catch up and are looking for great prints, start with them.THE BEST MOVIES OF 2012BEST PICTUREOnce Upon A Time In Anatolia --- By Acclamation(won a majority of the ballots on the first round)1.</p><p> Once Upon A Time In Anatolia - 28 pts.2.
