British Film Institute Poll: Sight and Sound Magazine's 100 Greatest Films of All Time

[ianrmcdonald]

I have left a description and data in this repository:

http://github.com/ianrmcdonald/bfi_poll

tldr; I screen scraped data used to generate the BFI's "100 Greatest Movies of All Time" list from 2012, and expect to see the same structure when they release the 2022 survey next month. The BFI.qmd file or BFI.html should explain everything. I hope it might be useful.

My email is ianrmcdonald@gmail.com. Thanks.

Hello Lydia…I will submit something later in the week. Since I posted this, I have a new dataset for the Sight and Sound poll for 2022. Can I reply to this email if/when I have questions? Thanks.

Hello Jon,

I have forked from the TidyTuesday repository and I’m trying to sync about five files into the forked repository, with the usual headaches and failure I experience with Github in RStudio. I have succeeded in the past uploading repositories but I’m out of practice.

And I’m not sure at all if I’ve generated something that is useful for you. I’d be happy to point you to a repository of simply attach a markdown file and .csv’s to an email but am hoping this isn’t a daad end.

In fact, I’ll attach the readme.md file I generated an maybe you can decide if this is worth the effort.

My major concern is that I have manually cleaned up a lot of this content vs. the file I started with; all of this was generated from screen scrapes and much of the data posted by the originator (the British Film Institute) needed revision.Thanks.

PS: The original content that I posted for the 2012 Sight and Sound poll should still be available to you in the original repository; if you can’t see that let me know. I posted it in 2022. Best, Ian
