there was gore, but it wasn't particularly gruesome xpost

unless i skipped over something no movie has received more than 1 first-place vote yet

lol @ vanity bullet points

shaun of the dead is funny and okay it has reverence for the zombie genre (this is stupid) but its really ugly and mb not that interesting and kinda slow. i mean w/e its a fun movie but its placement is a bit much imo

oops, forgot to add in the first place votes on that last round. bourne supremacy, rachel getting married, the new world, and kill bill vol 1 each had 1 first place vote.

Placement is about right, imo, though clearly Miami Vice/New World/Munich/Before Sunset should be way way ahead of it.

I think it's a much cleverer comedy than Bad Santa, for instance. Why is the reverence for the zombie genre stupid?

so what's left?

sure things:

no country for old men
inglourious basterds
city of god
wall-e
royal tenenbaums
there will be blood
mulholland drive
eternal sunshine
inland empire
spirited away
the departed
zodiac

likely:
grizzly man
amores perros
whatever bourne film hasn't placed yet

maybe:

fog of war
memento
the prestige

what am I forgetting?

children of men is a sure thing

all the films i actually liked?

yr forgetting caché

After only one thing yesterday four of my picks placed today - The Bourne Identity, 24-Hour Party People, O Brother, Where Art Thou,and American Psycho. 11/75 overall.

see i'm curious to know what harron did that's strikingly different from the book, but that kind of violence, i guess for alot of people you just shrug and it's exaggerated and cartoonish. but for real, i wish i could unread it and i can't.

wellll im hampered by having reread the book just last summer and not having seen the movie in almost a decade but: i think the book did a better job making an indictment. its funny to see nicole saying that the novel was too sympathetic bcuz i think it did much better job of damning an entire culture whereas the movie was kinda isolated in this ~one guy~

the novel is flatly monstrous and it never really lets up its p scathing in a terrible way and i think the strange, abrupt transitions and the aura of menacing uncertainty are really effective. i was never that curious or that interested in movie b8man other than hoping hed take his shirt off again *shrug*

kidding
sort of
but..
rooting for some results that are a little more unexpected

16/75. Doubled my number today (Bad Santa, The Bourne Supremacy and Identity, Rachel Getting Married, Kill Bill 1, Shaun of the Dead, O Brother, and American Psycho). Supremacy, Rachel, and Shaun were all in my top ten. And I'm guessing a good number of the films left to place are on my ballot.

Might be missing In The Mood For Love and The Incredibles.

xposts

Let The Right One In?! :)!?

Juno, Monsters Inc., Zoolander could be wild cards.

oh I thought the incredibles already placed
but I guess we only talked about it being randian

One that I'm kinda genuinely curious about is Catch Me If You Can. I kinda thought it would (and should) show up in a top 100 for the decade, but I find it hard to imagine that many people would've voted that particular Spielberg over AI and Minority Report and Munich. Prrrrrrobably not.

monsters inc beating the other pixars seems unlikely
juno...not on ilx
zoolander...def possible

Adaptation
Cache
Lost in Translation
Superbad

catch me if you can is owns ai and minority report so thoroughly

I heart Huckabees?
Let The Right One In?

Also: Ghost World, some Soderbergh.

catch me if you can has weirdly stayed with me even though i saw it years ago and i forget everything now lol old

I'm 10/75 right now. (High Fidelity, Almost Famous, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Borat, Munich, The Dark Knight, Battle Royale, Pan's Labyrinth, O Brother Where Art Thou?)

So I guess Sweeney Todd probably isn't going to place?

oh yeah superbad + knocked up too

dark horses: crank, bring it on, stepbrothers

there are some sure to be missing that i liked so much i feel irl sad no one wanted them ;_;
i watched rachel getting married and i don't think i liked it.

So I guess Sweeney Todd probably isn't going to place?

I would have voted for the Lansbury one but in came out in 1982.

I thought there were a few people here who liked that flick.

there are some sure to be missing that i liked so much i feel irl sad no one wanted them ;_;

p much reconciled to most of my top 10 not making it only really bummed bcuz this thread will probably be an impetus to get ppl checking shit out and i want more ppl 2 see them~~

yeah i'm guessing there won't be four claire denis films upcoming, right? or even.. one? ;_;

LJ wants to remind everyone about "To be and to have"

yr right lamp, there is a lot of stuff i will make a point to watch now and have been watching

new world was my #1 but I've been less than satisfied trying to communicate what's good about it. but I'll say I find malick very nourishing generally, easy to watch, and that the rhythm, the careful structuring of cuts, music&so on, is incredible. stays w/ me. yeah, TTRL is probably better, especially overall.

i want in the mood for love to appear too

I think there are still 11 or 12 in my ballot which are absolute sure things to place, so I won't divulge those at the moment. Outside of those, I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one more Pixar (Wall-E is probably the best bet). Crouching Tiger seems like kind of a long shot at this point, but I guess it's still possible.

LJ wants to remind everyone about "To be and to have"

I love this movie sooooo, sooooooooo, soooooooooooooooo much (#4 on my ballot), but no way in hell is it placing at this point.

should i watch the regular version of 'new world' or the extended (which is like 2hr 50 min long)?

i dont even know what the consensus denis pick wld be... think i voted for trouble every day but mb friday night is the better liked?

but I'll say I find malick very nourishing generally, easy to watch, and that the rhythm, the careful structuring of cuts, music&so on, is incredible. stays w/ me. yeah,

this is corny as fuk but i really think he has a way of making u see the things hes showing thats p special~~

l0u1s jagg3r Dear ILXors wondering how many foreign-language movies will place above Pan's Labyrinth, well, I got Cache, The White Ribbon, Let The Right One In, Spirited Away, Etre Et Avoir, Black Book and god knows what else

imo it's impossible that Children of Men didn't place. if it doesn't i'd be shocked

children of men is top 10 for sure dude

misread cthd as chud - a true classic.
