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

I voted for exactly 4 of those (but meant to vote for a 5th).

should a mod add a link to the noms thread in the first post?

mystified why u think 'mystic river' is gonna chart

Voted for 6 or 7 of those, and can't see them not placing - not sure about the others

maybe it won't? I'm not kreskin

IB will outrank KB 1 & 2, newer is better per ice cr?am.

you prefer KB, i take it?

my assumption is that the longer a movie has been around, the more of a chance 100 ppl on ILX have seen it

yeah i voted for 6 of those too (although CoM was very bottom of my ranked ballot, so i don't know how much good that's going to do it). i'll also be surprised/appalled if mystic river is top 20. (if it appears at all, really...)

if there was just one bourne movie i'd say it'd be a lock for the top 20, but with vote-splitting between the 3, who knows?

yeah, that's why I have ppl asking why I've waited SO LONG to see Avatar!

xp

okay, replace mystic river with the departed

I voted for 9 of my theoretical 20

I voted for 3, surprise surprise.

Oops, make that 4.

so many of those are gonna fall so far outside the top 20, probably at least half of them

3, after I dropped Children of Men upon downgrading it after third viewing

so what time does omar wake up

xpost I downgrade your ballot after one viewing.

lol

I hope you're right

voted for 4 of edward's list, if u include 'the departed'

voted for 7 of those

can't we just break bread over Munich, E?

I hope they're replaced with stuff like atanarjuat, decasia, and martyrs but that's neither here not there

will be surprised if the top 10 isn't basically star wars, pixar and american pie spinoffs tbh

Yeah, I think I voted for 8 on Edward's list? Some of those I don't see happening.

I think the ones I'm most 'meh, it's okay, but nowhere near GRATE' about that I see placing highly are the LOTRs and the Apatows.

I'm in the silent majority, and I voted for 7 of those, including The Departed, and 2/15 of those that have placed.

Great poll, by the way.

will be surprised if the top 10 isn't basically star wars, pixar and american pie spinoffs tbh

I think omar would've called the whole thing off were that the case

I voted for four of Edward's list. Am worried that this poll is going to be overrun by the big dumb US blockbusters.

omar is a servant of the people and will do his duty

Like, I enjoy the LOTR films well enough that I can imagine revisiting them every 5 to 10 years as a fun way to waste a Sunday, but for all of the obvious love and care and craft that went into making them, they're pretty perfunctory and workmanlike at the end of the day. Nowhere near capital K Klassicks.

i voted for 3 on that list if you include the departed. i don't think much of what i liked is going to place tbh..

One LOTR movie will make it into top 20, I hope it's Fellowship but suspect like the academy ILX will plump for ROTK.

I agree with DWH- it's perfunctory film-making under a beautiful hood.

Am worried that this poll is going to be overrun by the big dumb US blockbusters.

i think the silent majority is more about semi-indie ish than spider-man 3.

and the semi-indies will receive as much scorn if not more

silent majority factor will shockingly reveal ILX loves Pedro Costa and Claire Denis instead of famous Hollywood films!

I agree with DWH- it's perfunctory film-making under a beautiful hood.

you guys hate magic

am kind of surprised to hear that anyone thinks a LOTR movie will make it into the top 20.

magic writes shitty scripts

I think I would've maybe voted for The Departed if a) I'd remembered to (whoops) and b) I could get over the shock of having deeply enjoyed a Scorcese film.

also, it doesn't matter if everybody put the phantom menace on their ballots, what matters is how many ppl ended up putting the phantom menace in their top 10

a passionate minority for a film could lob it pretty high in the list but I should leave the statistics to caek

my assumption is that the longer a movie has been around, the more of a chance 100 ppl on ILX have seen it

^agree on this. was just thinking abt if say u flipped when antichrist and dogville came out, antichrist wld place im pretty sure. granted, im not saying its worthy.

and the semi-indies will receive as much scorn if not more

Haha, okay, update my concern to be: 'Am worried that this poll is going to be overrun by the big dumb US blockbusters and semi-indie drivel'. Although, of course, it's only semi-indie drivel when I don't like it, it's wonderful film-making when I do.

ya but didnt u read what morbs said, we only like NEW THINGS

my assumption is that the longer a movie has been around, the more of a chance 100 ppl on ILX have seen it

Absolutely true in my case, as I've seen way more films from the first half of the decade than the latter half. Pretty sure my ballot reflects that, for the most part.

link to noms thread tbh

I will say that the lack of harry potter films on that list gives me hope

if LOTR was counted as one film I think it could go high but vote-splitting will probably hurt it as is, dunno if consensus is strong around any one of them in particular -- I put Two Towers high on my ballot, ROTK down low and then lost Fellowship in the final cut.

Assuming my ballot was counted--I think I mailed it about 20 minutes before deadline--I filled 12 of 20 slots with documentaries. That's what I'm most interested in: which documentary places the highest. I'm going to guess either Fog of War (not one of mine) or Man on Wire (low on my list). I hope it's not one of Moore's films, most of which I think are in the okay range. Is it bad form to post your list here? I don't see anybody doing it.

nobody's doing it until after the big reveal i think
