The (Now-Overrated) ILX Top 100 Films of the 2000s Poll Results

actually did watch the beginning of dogville once

falled asleep

I also own but have never watched dogville, bought DVD for $2 at ocean state job lot lol

I've been intrigued and burned by so many von trier movies that I've just given up

i wonder if on his deathbed von trier will reveal that his entire output was designed to treat the viewer like one of the abused women in his shitty films. always going back for more, he says.

loool @ lamp

happy go lucky just snuck onto my ballot - pretty good one imo

Thought his three '00s features were OK to good, but Leigh's lost a step. Driving instructor was best HGL character, but then he had to go and ruin him w/ bathos at the end.

the words "yeah you like that doncha" should flash on the screen at the end of every von trier movie

Yay for "Happy Go Lucky" - I would've voted for that had I got around to voting.

Maybe I should watch Happy Go Lucky tonight, it's in the have-but-not-seen category for me.

flamenco instructor was even better IMO xxp

just a suggestion omar but maybe post 10 films a day? give ppl some time to marinate and discuss

dogville's good, but too long. and nk looks fine.

Gah, Dogville far too fucking low!

lol

Also, the bar is very high for vote/point totals required to get on the list! Good job!

20 a day!

Eddie Marsan was great in HGL. It also made me appreciate him more in Miami Vice. 'it could come back on me baby!'

can you torrent a pirated version of the lot for those of us who can't wait for the release date?

These 4 are all rather sadistic experiences, but two of them are good.

Eddie Marsan is a good John Houseman in Me and Orson Welles

o god I can't wait till the kill bills show up

omg same guy mind blown *_*

10 a day would give the GMT and later people a better chance to take part in the discussion

would be more epic that way too

every time I think of first QT appearance I picture morbz as boiling tea kettle with cork in spout

A watched Morbs never boils.

Actually, that's the least true thing I've ever written.

A lot of people I know saw the film after reading the book, and complained that they'd niced up Rob too much. But seeing it a second time, he is a complete bastard at times in the film, it's just that he's played by John Cusack, and everyone loves John Cusack.

if the ilx api wasnt so buggy omar could schedule the results from his dedicated apple brand ipad revolutionary tablet consumer device app

uh Edw, I know it's ILX.

honestly most comments on this film were complaints about how it wasn't like a real record store and the girls were unrealistic w/r/t hooking up with a record store owner.

That's the first kinda lame movie on this list, imo.

Maybe it's because I can only remember Tim Robbins' hair in it, tho.

Impossible for a movie about a record store to not show up on the ILX list. Glad it was as low as it is.

i think i'll reveal 15 films per day (6 days for 11-90) and then the top 10 on the last day.

solid

Kinda loved HiFid but didn't come close to making my 40. Best movie on list so far tho.

would like to see it again, but at the time i was working in a record store and the Beta Band bit was OTM.

Also: the first of the bromantic comedies?

i fucking loathe john cusack

morbs otm

hf was kinda lame but brought the lolz iirc

haha great job everyone

what happened to Todd Louiso? v funny.

argh high fidelity no

this countdown is worth it to see what Morbs thinks about films. I would have assumed he hated High Fidelity.

Todd Louiso directed a movie called Love Liza in my hometown. But that was like 2003.

xxxxpost Yeah, much better comment than the comments would've been.

Cusack's monologues far superior to the ones in American Psycho fwiw

no
