Totally weird Geez...my wife and I started doing the same thing with our 8 year old and 3 year old a couple months ago, except we're calling it "Family Movie Night." We've watched one every Sunday, then we rank them on a scale of 1 to 10 (obviously my daughter doesn't understand the concept, as she's given every movie a "10", lol). So far we've watched Snow White, Cinderella, Robin Hood, Sword in the Stone, Mickey's Christmas Carol, Aladdin, Lion King and Alice in Wonderland (we also watched Polar Express, but I don't think that's Disney). I'll be interested to see what you think in relation to my grades.

Awesome Brock! Glad to hear there's at least a couple interested in joining. And like I said, you all have about 6 months to get your lists together if you want to join, so really no rush. We've hit a few you listed already too. We have a master list chronologically that we're basically pulling titles from a random number generator and watching when we have some free time. We're kids at heart :) Snow White is one of the ones we haven't been able to get our hands on for rent or for cheap

And so it begins...

This is the first Best Movies Of The Decade list I've seen, but I'm sure there will be others.

I can't say I agree with much of what's on this list, but there are a handful here I adore.

Guys...

It's been ten years (or so) since a great many of us counted down our Top 100 Songs of All Time. I'm sure those of you who took part remember it well.

It was a huge undertaking, but goddamn, it was a lot of fun.

We got daily doses of tranny's death metal, NSpan's hippie and soul music, weird yet tantalizing stuff from Chien and Six's side of the pond, and Buscemi's... well, everything.

So let's do it again. Well, kind of.

I've been on a huge music-listening jag lately, and I'd really love to do another music countdown.

January of 2020 will make it two solid decades since the third millennium began, so I'm thinking we could count down our favorite 100 songs from the year 2000 up through the end of 2019. I'm thinking we can start in February or March, if that gives you enough time to pull a list together.

Anyone interested?

Geezer and Surfer are interested. That's seven. Boosh has decided to pass.


I checked the music countdown we did back in 2010. A lot of people who took part are no longer around - becs, BarcaRulz, englishozzy...

But there are a bunch of others I'd love to hear from:

Banks
W


Not to mention:

undeadmonkey
Nicodemus
Screen203
Spectre

ANYONE ELSE?


I'd love to have a least ten people involved from the get-go.

OKay, it looks like this is going to happen. Details will be solidified in the next few months.

Some rules:

1. If the selected song was released as a single, it must have a release date between 1/1/2000 and 12/31/2019.

2. If the selected song was NOT released as a single, it must be on a record/album with a release date after 1/1/2000.

3. Covers and remastered versions of older songs are acceptable if they appear on records/albums with a release date after 1/1/2000.

4. Music from soundtracks or scores of movies released after 1/1/2000 are acceptable UNLESS they are simply unaltered versions of older songs.


Any other thoughts on rules?

I'm game.

I didn't realize you guys had done a song countdown before. I was in on the album countdown but the song one must have been before my time.

Yeah, JohnErle, it was back in 2010.


So we have:

Me
Six
Chien
leestu
NSpan
Surfer
Geezer
transformers
Ron B
JohnErle


That's ten. More than enough to make it happen. Hopefully we can get a few more interested in the time between now and when we start.

Is February 1, 2020 a good start date to shoot for? It's a Saturday, so I should be able to put the time in.


Same as before - you guys send me emails with lists (partial, at least), and I will post one song per day per person. Please include links to the YouTube video version that you like the best (it need not be the actual music video, if there is one - I generally prefer the version with the best sound quality. It can be the single version, the album version, or extended remixes (within reason).
