Our project to re-rank the entire Canon of 366 Weird Movies continues, as we incorporate the newly promoted former-Apocrypha movies into a newly reordered list. (This all sounds more complicated than it really is.)
Last round, 53 voters cast ballots. Only four of the promoted Apocrypha outpaced the old Canonical entries they were pitted against ( Big Man Japan, The Happiness of the Katakuris, Celine and Julie Go Boating and Mirror [Zerkalo] fell by the wayside).
Now, let’s see how far the remaining new arrivals can climb. We’ll pit the four former Apocrypha movies that got more votes than any Canonical movies against the sixteen next most popular Canonical movies based on this 2019 poll. (It’s getting more competitive for the newbies, but if we put fewer than 20 entries per poll at a time, this will take all year—we’re only just cracking the 200s in the rankings). We’ll repeat this procedure until no new arrival proves more popular than the remaining Canonical entries.
Here’s the next round. You may choose up to four movies you feel are the most deserving. We’ll leave the poll up until midnight, February 5.
