Top Ten By Year: 1992 – Voters Poll Results

This is the first time I’ve incorporated a Voters Poll into my Top Ten by Year column, and I’ll certainly continue this tradition moving forward. I recieved about 60 responses from twitter, tumblr and WordPress combined. Some were ordered, some weren’t. Some contained 10 films, some didn’t. Thank you so much to everyone who participated! Below the Voters Top Ten is a rundown of all the films voted for, descending in number count. 110 different films were voted for at least once. Lastly, because the individual lists are often far more interesting than the aggregated one, I have all participants picks in the last portion of the post. If someone included a film that was not eligible for my list (because I count it as a different year) I have it noted, but of course still allowed it (not a my way or the highway kind of gal). The #1 choice is a film I chose not to re-watch, which maybe I probably should have, but oh well. Order, except for tiebreakers, did not come into play. I simply looked at what made the most appearances. As my list is looking right now, about 4 or 5 of these will appear on mine.

What I hope these Voters Polls going forward will do is provide a gateway for readers to seek out some of these films, or just be aware of what’s out there, and what some care about.

The next post coming up in this series of Top Ten by Year: 1992 series is my traditional ‘What I’ll Remember About the Films of 1992: A Personal Sampling’ post.
