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

Sexy Beast: YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! Thought it would be higher, as it deserved to be. Fackin ilxors prefer the fackin Wackness. Fackin ilxors.

Never knew the Host existed but that picture and the lolwesanderson story made me add it to my lovefilm list.

I don't know if The Host qualifies as horror, because it wasn't gory at all, but it was genuinely thrilling, I thought. It had such enthusiastic pacing, hurtling from one scene to the next. I loved the slob hero at the center of it all, too, and the way you didn't really get more than a few glimpses of the monster for what seemed like half the movie

the host is a continual "american cgi monster types: yr doin it wrong" reminder.

Nice to see Bong Joon-Ho get 2 films in here, probably too much to expect that Joint Security Area will make it too.

ah never got around to seeing the Host - must rectify

The Wackness isn't really going to place is it?

The Host is everything Cloverfield wanted to be, but failed. Tho the broad comedy in The Host was a bit o_O

I actually voted for 4 Bong Joon-Ho movies.

96 people voted alex

people who like amelie

anything goes

Which is retrospect seems kind of crazy.

man with these ancient quotes, now text-subs, and general pissy grievance vibe, this is turning out to be like a distillation of ilx in one place.

memories of murder definitely would have made my top twenty if i'd seen it before i voted

I couldn't make it past the tongue scene in Ichii, I've never been brave enough to try Miike again.

bird people in china is a great, great miike without an ounce of squirm or gore

sexy beast is an amazing movie and im proud to say it was in my top 10 - one of the best and most stylistically controlled debut films of the decade - glazer is an incredible craftsman - birth is amazing too - yall are fools and dismissing it as a "gangster film" is a substitute for actual thinking

The Host is everything Cloverfield wanted to be, but failed.

I don't know if that's completely true - but The Host was great, and Cloverfield was pretty craptacular.

Wait till Kill Bill if you want pissy grievances (from me)

xpost

Assuming Kill Bill makes it

cloverfield was great hope it places

s1ocki I'm usually on board with yr film reviews but I guess I was missing something when I watched SB

the host and cloverfield aren't really similar besides the fact they both have monsters. and saying that cloverfield "wanted to be" the host ignores that their aims are about 100% different. both great tho

then you're gonna GET a SB

seriously tho. watch it again. and tho i love kingsley in it, it's ray winstone who really shines for me

I didn't vote but can I enter a late ballot w/100 pts for the wackness

i think it is really fantastic storytelling.

sexy beast was in the top 20 for me

birth IS amazing; I wonder if it has a chance of charting? doubtful

I might SB the next person who talks about where things were on their ballots.

Find it hard to believe Birth could outplace Sexy Beast (even though I prefer it.)

bbbut if omar gets SB'd over a SB beef, we won't be able to finish the poll :(

no one's Sing we SB omar

I liked Cloverfield, it was maybe top 100 for me but I have not seen or heard of the The Host til now.

agree with slocki and omar here re. sexy beast

I've seen SB twice and I can't imagine watching it 50 times would make me think its anything exceptional.

so many great shots, and the kind of performance winstone deserves but rarely gets.

do you think some mod could substitute "sexy beast" for sb sitewide?

not that it's gonna kick the proposition out of my '00s winstone movie position but nonetheless

so many great shots, and the kind of performance winstone deserves but rarely gets.

not just great shots but amazingly constructed scenes built out of those shots... u know what i mean

i mean, just excellent filmmaking.

no haley joel osment tho

mcshane scares me in this film

he scares me in just about everything he's in

ya he is a REPTILE in it. way better than any of that deadwood argle-bargle.

I liked I'll Sleep When Your Dead more. Maybe even Gangster No 1 btw. If we are comparing brit gangster films I prefer to SB.

mcshane scares me in this film

"he scares me in just about everything he's in"

Terrifying in Scoop.

ach - beat to the punch (again)
