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

yeah one great thing about sexy beast is how it totally subverts the heist movie. usually you're focused on the heist and what's going to go wrong, but in sexy beast the suspense is completely relocated elsewhere.

i love how with a couple of exceptions where he acts out, logan's menace is almost entirely in the reactions to him—and he has almost no discernible backstory, either. it's all implied.

so ya, what u dudes said

i love how perfect his posture is too, that is the most amazing character detail

icey, just put the friggin bong down. Your morbsbait is impaired.

do you have a link to ur official eod list?

It isn't up yet. Maybe next week if there aren't anymore oh-so-important EOD music lists....

i mean hell munich might have even made a putative top forty for me if not for the EPIPHANY DURING SWEATY CLIMAX bit

...and in which I specifically address the obtuseness in ridiculing this scene.

munich is on my list, sex scene or no.

Munich is on my list, and the sex scene is one reason it's so high up.

Wish I could killfile everyone else on ILX but only when they're talking about Spielberg.

excellent applications of the "you just don't understand..." principle. (look forward to your defense, morbz, however rong.)

sex scene takes place in my neighborhood fyi so its kinda like im fucking them both through time

the sex scene leads to bad associations in my mind because the person next to me in the theater had the worst BO known to man, which by that point in the film had become unbearable.

that was actually part of the movie

Tipsy, u seem nice so agreeing to never talking about Spielberg is the only option I have.

I voted Munich, came close to giving pts to AI but as much as I love the guy the Terminal and Indiana Jones were two of the worst things i saw in a theater this decade. pretty bewildering and lovable how unpredictable the beard is.

ha they were test-marketing a new updatedversion smell-o-vision

updated version of*

now combine that shit with 3D and then we have something special

imagine the 3-D beads of Bana-sweat in your face and in your nostrils!

during the foot scene in Kill Bill i could smell Tarantino's semen.

Eric, tipsy is the nicest guy who doesnt like Munich ever!

I recall enjoying The Terminal. Don't really remember it but I'd like to see it again.

we are all chuck eddy on this thread

Been quietly 'following along at home'...dithered to much over the list & didn't get my votes together in time so = fail.

I forgot that Auditions was 00's. It would definitely be on some kind of all-time list for me, even in sheer terms of an unforgettable 'experience'. Stellar pacing. Also had a lot of love for Brick, purely as a Chandler fan (and JGL is cute imo).
Glad to see love for AI and Minority Report. It feels like you're supposed to hate Spielberg for being so mass market but I wonder too if it's just because he's so earnest. AI is gorgeous, I still love it. Minority Report is flawed, and he got a bit carried away with spectacle vs story...but AI was note-perfect to me.

That is all.

best character reference ever. if i ever get hauled up on morals charges i'm calling you in.

I just watched Squid & Whale - so closely mimicked my family situation about 10 years ago I ended up laughing at a lot of the more uncomfortable/fraught bits.

Sign me up.

About halfway through "Tropical Malady" and really enjoying it.

Haha, that could could change significantly over the next hour.

i was gonna say

"i'm halfway through this apichatpong weerasethakul movie, i guess i've pretty much figured out where he's going with this..."

Nope, second half rules too.

speaking of Bana, i hope someone else voted for 'chopper'

No, but I did vote for Munich, if it helps.

during the foot scene in Kill Bill i could smell Tarantino's semen.

and you're worried about stoned people's altered perceptions? dude.

Worst (and most nauseatingly sentimental) thing I've ever seen of Spielberg's is still his segment of Twilight Zone: The Movie. He can get away with an awful lot in my eyes as long as he avoids revisiting that particular road.

I've just seen AI thanks to this list (decided to see the three movies on there i hadn't seen yet) and I jave to say I really enjoyed it. I'm still torn about whether or not he should have ended the movie underwater. In the heat of the moment, I found those aliens kind of annoying, but thinking it over, I really liked the ending with the mother, so sad and touching. There's also one thing that really struck me about this movie, it is so much like a horror film (to my unused to horror film eyes). There are so many scenes that would feel at home in a far scarier movie (thinking about the night scenes in the forest when all the robots are scavenging for new parts, or the bit when he's abandoned by his mother and you see him growing smaller in the rearview mirror and looks like a zombie from very far off, or when he's in the office with hundred of copies of himself hanging on hooks).

if yr posting in the middle of a "joe" film yr not really giving it the attention it needs.

oooh

call me old fashioned!

old fashioned!

In the heat of the moment, I found those aliens kind of annoying, but thinking it over

Grrrrrrrrrrr

can't believe i was kung fu hustle's only #1 vote. you guys mightn't hate fun, but it's obviously way down your list of priorities.

not chairman of any football clubs either, but tbh i can see where you'd actually mistake me for that guy at least, jol out etc.

Jibe, I know Spielberg doesn't make it terribly clear (which is why I was mostly just puzzled by the ending of AI at first), but consider for a moment what those "aliens" actually were.

aliens!

They looked like aliens! But yeah, I see what they were I guess, but it was just too tempting to call them aliens.
Also, the first time we see David, I couldn't help but think it was ET I was seeing (white background and you just see a shape). But I haven't seen ET in a looong time so memory may be broke. I guess I just had aliens on my mind all the time.

I know at least a couple smart ppl who had no idea the "aliens" were descendants of Earth-made robots.

Deric, Twilight Zone: The Movie was almost 30 years ago. Let go. You don't think I've ever seen Hook or Jurassic Park 2, do you?

i really hated AI when i saw it, really hated it, but all the love it's gotten over the years makes me feel like i should revisit.
