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

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

but yeah they're the same joke

u hafta be BLAZED

no you don't

Miami Vice scored a 47% on RT and 65% on metacritic. It's low showing may have something to do with no one outside of ILX caring either way about this film.

Hm... looks like I'm watching Grizzly Man first then.

but yeah they're the same joke

wtf?

i didn't even vote for an apatow-directed film but if you don't think knocked up or 40yov bring the lols then... no lols for you.

Miami Vice scored a 47% on RT and 65% on metacritic. It's low showing may have something to do with no one outside of ILX caring either way about this film.

yeah but no one outside of ilx voted in the ilx poll, so

except omar's gf

i enjoyed it a bunch. but, yeah, i couldn't shake the weird feeling that i waited 4 months to see the second half of a movie. it FELT like a second half whereas the first part felt like an entire movie. Does that make any sense? but, anyway, very enjoyable. Fun for the whole family.

Kill Bill also gave me weird Oliver Stone/David Lynch deja vu for some reason. But in a good way. in an americana-gone-bad/sweaty desert/fucked film stock kinda way. that naturalbornwildatheartlosthighwayu-turnpulpfiction feeling. but i like that feeling. i haven't felt it in a while. Q.T. is too goofy to fill me with dread like lynch and too 70's cop show to give me flashbacks like Oliver, but that's okay.

― scott seward

I agree, this was OKAY, but kind of a let down. They should have put this out months ago and not waited so long, or gone ahead and put the whole film out together because I think the relative comedown in this half would be more like a welcome relief. I wish she'd killed bill earlier because the fucker would not shut up!

But all the non-bill scenes were pretty excellent. Especially Elle's end!

― anthony kyle monday

I loved this so much more than the first, tho obv they need to be seen together for the second to work. But all the honor/survival themes got big emotional payoff here. The gimmicky coffin blackout, revelation of elle's treachery, surprise when she meets bill were all BIG payoffs for me.

Also the way he let the camera rest on her face, the range she could bring, this is just like one of the best roles I've seen for an actress to just... do that, the same way the male brat pack got to in some of the better 70s stuff.

― Sterling Clover

Obviously the reason why the Bride knows the monk's moves is because Bill SAID 'No one gets taught this' and in these types of movies from the beginning of time til now, as soon as the antagonist says 'No one knows THAT' the protagonist suddenly picks it up, cf at the end when Bill says 'He taught you that?' and Bride replies 'Of course he did' which I thought was v. funny (as funny as a scene that had me really choked up could be). Of course this is because I spent way too long as a fucking film studies major and the world would be better off to take Dan's sensible explanation that doesn't actually involve the word "homage".

The buried alive scene is one of the most unsettling, horrifying things I have ever seen in filmed arts in my entire life and is one of the only accurate artistic depictions of feeling trapped that I have ever seen (if not the only one, since I can't think of a counter-example at the mo).

Come Anticipate Kill Bill Vol. 2 With Me (now contains spoilers)

#48

Kill Bill: Vol. 2
Quentin Tarantino
2004
United States
(364 points, 16 votes)

yeah but no one outside of ilx voted in the ilx poll, so

I'm not so sure.

metacritic and rotten tomatoes aggregate the views of lots of stupid people iirc

xpost

FUCK KILL BILL

the action-movie-going public doesn't think much of mann as an action-movie director, relative to the 300 or whatever

ilx film bods think more of mann than the average internet film bod does

maybe?

some xps, forget who i'm even talking to now

kill bill 2 was my #2 behind kill bill 1 -- combined it's my favorite film ever

nooo way the hangover is making top 50

I would have said "nooo way the 40 year old virgin is making the top 50" but you know here we are

also, the hangover > the 40 year old virgin

No

Yes

Who cares?

Guys, save it for the John Murtha thread.

neither of them are particularly well made films imo, but I thought the hangover was funnier so

"Driver, get me out of this poll."

Best western ever.

Sorry, just didn't care for Hangover is all! Carry on.

i love Mann. it's just that the Miami Vice movie was poorly acted, did feel like 2/3 of a movie, and also was based off of what is arguably one of the more boring Miami Vice episodes. and i LOVE the original episodes.

I laugh at about 90% of what goes on in o brother where art thou, so I'm not sure where this "not a comedy" thing is coming from

ain't this place a geographical oddity... two weeks from everywhere!

"i don't want to be tellin tales out of school, but there's a man in there who'll give you tell dollars if you sing into a can!"

"we're not gonna be singin any songs you dumb cracker."

Pete: You miserable little snake! You stole from my kin!
Ulysses Everett McGill: Who was fixin' to betray us.
Pete: You didn't know that at the time.
Ulysses Everett McGill: So I borrowed it until I did know.
Pete: That don't make no sense!
Ulysses Everett McGill: Pete, it's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.

Hangover sucked.

Possible comedies left:
Shaun Of The Dead, Knocked Up, Superbad, Best In Show... something else.
