[color=red]a. What was the best film each of you saw this year?
b. What was the best film every one of you saw this year?
c. What was the best film all of you saw this year?

In which case is
every person supposed to mention the best film he or she saw (one film per person)
and in which case
are the people questioned supposed to mention one film that they all saw (one film for the whole group)
?
If you meant to say you were addressing a group of cinema-goers who would watch films both collectively and individually, then I would firstly ask: What was the best film you all saw this year? Even that way: What was the best film we saw this year?
Then (on hearing the answer): What other films you may have seen individually you consider among the best?
What other films which you may have seen individually do you consider among the best?
would work for your question, but I still feel it is unnecessary.
Of course, the question was unnatural in the situation, but what I was trying to do was make it sound more or less realistic.
Azz was trying to use ‘all’ and ‘each’ in the situation s\he imagined. ‘All of you have come here to enjoy The Scorpions, though each of you can expect different emotions from their performance.’—something like that was asked in my view.
As to my question, I still don’t see the neccessity of ‘which’ (you may agree here) and ‘do’ in the sentence (you obviously disagree). ‘What definition you consider the most suitable: stubborn or obstinate?’ Still insist on the ‘do’?
Yes, if it has to be a grammatically correct and acceptable question, Eugene. But in conversational contexts the spoken grammar (with stress) will accept it without ‘do’.
I found on the net: — Warren Ellis Q&A
Warren Ellis answered: “Of your works which you consider the best or which is
your favourite?”
–Which you consider best buy pound by pound? DHC or DHS?
I like both…but perfer … [DHC is the no. 1 direct skincare brand from Japan]
Perhaps those were not natives\not the best educated natives… Somehow it must’ve rubbed off on me, subconsciously, while reading. Young minds are so succeptible you know…
