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

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

okay updated,

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
superbad
knocked up
lost in translation
cache
the incredibles
in the mood for love
adaptation

which leaves room for 6 of these (imo) maybes:
children of men
grizzly man
memento
zoolander
let the right one in
fog of war
bourne whatever
prestige
to be and to have
me and you and everyone we know
juno
cthd

i'm still waiting for the white ribbon to come to my theater

election!

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.

election is 1999 innit?

'friday night' was relatively uncomplicated and made sense, so i suppose it was generally better liked.. i strongly preferred all her other 00s films which are a lot more strange

does ilx really love children of men that much? okay 5 spots for maybes then

i think he means the johnnie to election iatee

The Hong Kong triad movie. Also does anyone still like City of God? Surely Slumdog Millionaire has more than removed the favela tourism aftertaste.

is a wong kar-wai film gonna place?

CHUD was way better than Children of Men.

yeah it does. that thread is epic. i think it was my #1`

in the mood for love is a wong kar-wai film a few have mentioned

I voted Almost Famous #1, mostly for sentimental reasons, but Children of Men was my #2 and it's imo legit the best film of the decade.

yeah I can see ITMFL placing - fuck 2046

Children of Men was a bit too Jesus-y for comfort.

thread needs less prognosticating and more 'this film sucks' right now btw

let's get back on track: pan's labyrinth, a huge steaming pile

I didn't vote, but Grizzly Man would have been top 3 for me for sure. Really hope it shows.

I cannot imagine Children of Men not showing up. Although I do suspect that it's another one that might pale a bit after I've seen it more than once.

for you, mr. dyao:

CHUD >>>>>>>> superbad, knocked up, children of men, there will be blood

i love grizzly man and ITMFL would have been in my top 5. i didn't like eternal sunshine that much there i said it ^_^

yeah it does. that thread is epic. i think it was my #1`

dude

daria which denis films do u rep for?

crouching hyrax under dragon??

CHUD was way better than Children of Men.

TRUTH.

Grizzly Man was in the upper part of my ballot, and a few of my friends played on the soundtrack </suzy>

okay, considering the chatter here alone, children of men is def a sure thing

I didn't vote, but Grizzly Man would have been top 3 for me for sure. Really hope it shows.

enough people have mentioned grizzly man upthread that it makes me think it is too

so, 4 maybes

dude lamp

i love the song at the end of grizzly man, i hope your friend sung that sarahel

Grizzly Man will prob be the token doc.

way better than fog of war imo

if you can even compare them, i dunno

my friends played drums, guitar, and upright bass - i don't think you'd want to hear them sing

we've already had capturing the friedmans xxp. token musical = dancer in the dark?

Bright Leaves was prob my fav doc of the decade, doubt anyone voted for (or saw?) it

I meant the token doc in the top 25.

Dancer In The Dark isn't happening.

Couldn't see friedmans placing...too busy crying over Spellbound.

hmm upon rescanning iatee's projected list looks pretty pedestrian

no friedmans was in the bottom 10 xp

96 people voting in anything is gonna end up pretty pedestrian

yup!

The only high placing from the old poll that hasn't been mentioned on iatee's list (or already placed) is Donnie Darko.
