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

haha, rogen looks so gross

'40 year old virgin' is def my least favorite of the rogen/apatow clan comedies

Wow - I'm really glad I don't have an opinion on this latest one, because now I can ignore or skim this thread for a while and do real things.

it's quite possible to do this even when you do have opinions on things

xposts morbs, much love to you AND Skidoo! (sorry - I adore the shit outta the thing!)

It's also possible to spend hours reading and posting on threads when you don't have an opinion on its subject.

Ha, easily my FAVE of the Apatow movies. The funny outweighs the creepy conservative factor.

40yov is the first thing i saw rogen in (hadn't watched Freaks and Geeks yet) and i was seriously shocked to learn he was like 21 or something when he made it

didn't vote for it though. xp

40-y-o virgin is cute enough. my personal ratings system awards an extra star for significant catherine keener screentime.

Oh wait, I forgot Superbad. That's both the best and will be highest-placing.

is knocked up too pussyified for ilx?

ILX Film Faves: Might As Well Be TV

40 Year Old Virgin is Apatow's best, but not worth voting for.

oh so that's why morbz liked the simpsons movie. its exploration of the cinematic medium.

The Wire >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Brick

it's the best apatow movie (and the least woman-hating!)

so other than knocked up and superbad, what other comedies even have a shot? zoolander? that's basically it, innit?

as far as I did like it (say 3 stars), YES

xxxp

it's the supporting performances in 40 Year Old Virgin that are most memorable for me: Gerry Bednob, Jane Lynch.

xp iatee - I think American Psycho might place - I think both J0rdan and I put it in our top 5.

bad santa & anchorman, maybe

please, no

oh yeah bad santa's an ilx fav
anchorman I dunno

Anchorman should be there - would be a travesty if that one doesn't make it.

i got really high before Miami Vice, and the minute my friends and i left the theatre, we looked at each other, then agreed that that movie was SO FUCKING EMBARASSINGLY BAD that we had to get high again and then go to the bar.

that is really the first shocker on this list for me.

jeez i make tea and come back to this?

re comedies: jackass (1/2) has a chance to make it right?

also 'bourne supremacy'

don't forget I Killed Hitler with My Funny Accents

was bourne supremacy a comedy?

so other than knocked up and superbad, what other comedies even have a shot? zoolander? that's basically it, innit?

You are forgetting the Wes Anderson films.

jackass in the top 50 seems pretty unlikely, but who knows

I mean comedy-comedy

Shawn of the Dead?

i liked 40-yr-old virgin but can't imagine voting for it? at the same time i never feel like seeing apatow's other ones i dunno

No sign of the Coen Brothers yet, though I guess if anything polls now it will be NCFOM, Oh Brother... and A Serious Man rather than their more straight ahead comedies.

you forgot to put < / bait > there tabes

there are quite a few comedies that could place in the top 50, without even thinking much I came up with

superbad
the hangover
shaun of the dead
knocked up
o brother where art thou
bad santa
jackass

xpssss

and I'm the guy who had one comedy on his ballot

nooo way the hangover is making top 50 and I wouldn't really consider 'o brother' a comedy movie, but yeah, that list looks like what we've got

+ zoolander, I hope

I mean comedy-comedy

like, about human beings? Eternal Sunshine ftw

Best in Show?

im a massive apatow stan but am surprised by this getting in ahead of miami vice etc.

I wouldn't really consider 'o brother' a comedy movie

OK, what the hell

I'd kill to see Mean Girls on this list. also I don't think ILX is gay enough for a Prada showing.

o brother has about one funny line, so no, not a comedy

i voted mean girls

I don't think enough people have seen A Serious Man for it to be in any sort of contention. I voted for it, though.

comedy movie = the #1 goal of the film is to bring the lol, and I don't think that's the case w/ o brother

i know i'm british and all, but where are the jokes in the apatow films? or is there just one?

the fat guy makes lots of jokes
