Live Poll: Poll Board Users' Most Beloved Own Live Polls

Intro:

Since the Poll Board was established, the members and users of it were thinking of great ideas to vote for film fans. Many of the suggestions had strong and diverse discussions. And often the opinions drifted apart, but there was mostly always a way to overcome them. Other ideas were accepted instantly within our community. Now it's time for some users with a number of 20+ live polls to present their own live poll, which they are most proud of, or simply like the best.


Which of these poll idea backgrounds do you like best?

Tell us here.

Suggestion:

For users with 20+ polls live: One of your ideas that went live and you're proud of or simply like the best. Or a poll of yourself polls you best like. You can state what ever you want, in the borders of the netiquette of the poll board rules. Your text may be rich or small as long as it is your own words. I'll take it 1:1. I need a link to your most beloved own poll. It can be all kinds of polls. Image polls, title polls or polls about persons, because I used the format of image polls, which enables to display all three kind of polls.

- Poll: Favorite Superhero Couple

"I am huge fan of comics. They shaped my personality type of today(INFJ-A). I always wanted to feel a little bit closer to these types of movies and series. so, i decided to create this poll, and when this poll go live it felt like amazing. Because now I am one step closer to people who love comics."

I think it's a good way to show a little bit of the user's own relation to their polls. I even thought to enhance the idea to Top 3 of your own polls. That might even be more interesting. But if we try this, I need a little input from the community, because this is no stand-alone-show.

If we try it with three polls per user, I'd also have to change the question.

Maybe to: "Which user's set of polls is the most interesting?"

Hi, Master_Strange. I found a little grammar mistake. May I correct it? It says:

"... i decided to create this poll, and when this poll go live it felt like amazing ..."

I guess the past of "go" is "went". So I'll change it to went. If that's wrong, please tell me so.

"... i decided to create this poll, and when this poll went live it felt like amazing ..."

Would it be ok for you? I'll put it in the option and you can say, if I should really do, but I think it looks better.

I think Breu's poll is slightly different since it's about giving a statement about a poll we are especially proud of. 

Besides, there was also a similar poll prior to alb's. :)

@Breumaster and @Jessica,

In that case, this is my favorite poll that I authored:
Influential Films
https://www.imdb.com/poll/qAIc888JayU/

I created this poll based on academic research. Researchers  at Northwestern University analyzed connections  data on IMDb and found these 40 films had the greatest influence on future filmmakers. The authors of the research granted me permission to use their research in a poll. I gave them a link to the poll when the poll went live.

@Breumaster,

The researchers posted a link to their research on Get Satisfaction. They did a great job and the article is rather interesting. I thought a poll would be a suitable way to honor their effort and their research.

Lesser-Known Author and Auteur Collaborations

The last of my "elaborate" polls. I think you can't find a more exhaustive list on the internet, but the merit doesn't go to me. 75% of the options were found by other contributors, particularly Albstein and Pencho. As for the description, it comes mostly from Peter and Tsarstefan.

Albstein and Pencho mostly contributed to the poll's options.

Is this better?

 I made this poll with the idea in mind of learning about literature's influence on some of the greatest directors. In that regard, I believe I succeeded. Of course, I do not pretend that this poll taught me how Renoir was influenced by naturalism. It merely put me on the right track. But, if like me, some curious voters were inspired to watch one of the films listed, I have gone beyond my goal.

Shorter answer: I like this poll because, despite the limitation that lists have, it was somewhat instructive.

In order to avoid the two polls I nominated for the two previous polls I'll go with United Artists 100th Anniversary Poll

It is kind of cheating, because it is 4 polls rather than one. But I like it because I had to wait for several years to make a 100th Anniversary poll for a big studio. I originally had the idea in 2012, and it was going to feature Paramount and Warner. Unfortunately, my idea happened during the dark ages where the IMDb killed the daily poll and they never came to be.

Once our hard work gave us the poll back, I still had to wait six until another big company celebrated its 100th anniversary, so this poll was a culmination of a long awaited idea, and in my personal case it links the old daily poll days with the new poll, ans is a testimony of the years were we refused to forget about this part of the IMDb and how we were able to bring it back.

My favorite is the Prime Number title series. This was very relevant to what I do in my day to day job and it was a perfect starter for me in poll making. I had to extract titles from IMDb site HTML and write a program to find the list of titles. I used same method for other polls like Fibonacci, Pie size, Isogram.

This one is a Poll for Prime Numbered Titles - 11:

Btw.: I guess Mario meant "... polls like Fibonacci, Pie size, Isogram."

May I correct it, or did you really want to say "pie"?

This poll contains the important milestones that IMDb achieved until it's 25th Anniversary since it's inception. For me this is more of a curriculum vitae of IMDb than just a regular poll. Also, I found this poll nostalgic.

Thank you. Sorry for the late reply.
