I hope he revises. That's otherwise one of the best lists in the bunch.

he did include Mysteries of Lisbon, which I think is one of the greatest films of the decade

Ignore the person posting and just check out the movie

Looks like it would make a good double feature with The Taxi Driver (2017).

end of evangelion is a movie for which you have be familiar a whole tv series before watching, so it’s like fire walk with me. it being anime is incidental. anime is a medium
since you’ll never watch either i can’t begin to understand why you even give a shit

I like the one vote for The Lone Ranger.
― jmm, Sunday, 5 May 2019 16:47 (five years ago) link
I've seen some critics I respect defend The Lone Ranger, but I'm still too Depp-fatigued to give it a shot.

His ballot, btw:
Armond White (National Review)Man of SteelThe PresidentWild GrassVincereQueen & Country
Man of SteelThe PresidentWild GrassVincereQueen & Country
I've never heard of The President--unless, in a typical Armondian touch, he's listing the current President of the United States as the second greatest movie of the decade (behind Zach Snyder, natch).

It's a lesser Mohsen Makhmalbaf film.

Philip French gave 'The Lone Ranger' a sympathetic review https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/aug/11/the-lone-ranger-review

FWIW I think it's pretty good, but does have problems, not least the whitewashing of Johnny Depp as Tonto.

Indulge me while I ridicule the two Toronto voters I spotted: Liz Braun, who was literally a gossip columnist when I last paid attention, and Peter Howell, who went from being a terrible a rock critic to--again, from what little I read by him when he started out--a terrible film reviewer.

Were people specifically instructed not to vote for documentaries? Quick scan of the Top 75 and I don't see any. That makes no sense to me.
― clemenza, Sunday, 5 May 2019 17:58 (five years ago) link
I'll stop whining; I see a number of films I love, led by #4 and #5.
― clemenza, Sunday, 5 May 2019 17:59 (five years ago) link
I don't know the writing of the two Toronto critics you mentioned, and I'm in no hurry to check them out, but their ballots are not embarrassing. I don't know what The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby is, though.
― Timothée Charalambides (cryptosicko), Sunday, 5 May 2019 18:01 (five years ago) link
re docs, in the top 30 I see The Act of Killing and No Home Movie.

Well..."a number" = four. And another dozen I like.
(I still remember Howell's hand-wringing the first time he got a Sight & Sound best-ever invite. The problem wasn't that his list was bad, it was that I didn't believe anything on there--the accompanying comments seemed to indicate a preoccupation with making "correct" choices.)
Thanks--I scanned quickly, missed them. Would be nice to see at least one Wiseman on there; he had a great decade.
