The Board 8 Top 235 Movie List was compiled by CasanovaZelos in April 2010. Nominations allowed a user to list their top 50 movies and were then tallied. The cut-off was 51 points and a movie had to make at least two lists. After months of keeping the nominations open, CasanovaZelos posted the list in its entirety - much to the dismay of others, without write-ups.
