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

i have beau travail dvd from netflix but i'm distracted by instant play. i'll watch it tomorrow. 35 rhums is in queue.

35 rhums is v.good. I need to see more Denis.

You should see C.H.U.D.!!!!

no thx

I would watch The Passion of the C.H.U.D..

There Will Be C.H.U.D.

No Country for Old CHUD = would watch

Grizzly C.H.U.D.

Children of C.H.U.D.

this is a turn for the worse from making jokes about juggalos, imo

I can't believe I forgot about Friday Night Lights

super Juggalo C.H.U.D.

C.H.U.D. >>>>>>>>> juggalos

grisso is otm; I think ghost world is a strong maybe, given all the music related stuff that's already placed

seriously - hating on C.H.U.D. = hating fun. How can you had Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers?!

Which of Matrix: Reloaded and Matrix: Revolutions do you think will place higher, you guys? And is The Animatrix eligible?

do i still have time to vote against the matrices

the only good thing about the two matrix sequels was the appearances of an AC Transit bus and the Oakland PD parking lot, and those aren't all that great.

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.

If Ellis were a subtler writer, maybe I could see an indictment; all I read is an endorsement.

more wondering out loud:

is BLACK BOOK going to place?!

i voted 4 it, but no way

35 Rhum in my top ten was a strategic error, but I have no regrets. I love that movie and think it's her best film.

Also, if All The Real Girls placed and George Washington doesn't, ILX needs to reshift its priorities.

And I've totally given up on My Winnipeg :(

That reminds me: Pineapple Express!

i love shaun of the dead. i think it's a great comedy. really tight writing, directing, pacing. it's a whole package.

second Gukbe's thoughts on George Washington and ;_; about MY WINNIPEG

Surely Darko will make it?

i think i would have voted for george washington

the *miner spoiler* death scene at the bar totally bummed me out xxp

George Washington was a little too formless for me.

i havent seen shaun of the dead but i had to turn off hot fuzz so that cant bode well~

If I may ask, what so appalled you about Hot Fuzz that you had to stop watching?

i think i just have gw on my list because i was trying to fill out 20 so i could vote. i don't remember it well enough except that i liked it. i still only have 16.

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

― zvookster

I saw Bright Leaves. I enjoyed it, but I grew about around tobacco farming and that industry. McElwee drives me crazy though. Yet I keep watching his docs.

re: hot fuzz - i wasnt appalled at all - i just thought it was doing nothing interesting and that its attempts at humor were not funny & lol british

and, you know, thought i could be doing somethin better w/ my time

Gotcha.

It'll be interesting to see if Hot Fuzz shows up. I think Shaun is the better movie, but I think Hot Fuzz might be funnier.

The villain's comeuppance at the end of Hot Fuzz had me laughing harder than almost anything I can ever remember seeing in a theater.

As I said upthread, I really like Shaun but love Hot Fuzz. Gets funnier with every viewing.

Oh man, I forgot about My Winnipeg. I saw that on a flight and the woman next to me kept glaring at my screen, until finally she had to ask what I was watching. "Looks terrible." was her only comment.

now 6/75 i think. battle royale was the only one from today's batch for me. love that movie.

i just watched rachel getting married because of this thread; thought it was great. now i'm sad.

any chance michael clayton would place?

no

17/75. Of this batch: A Serious Man, Brokeback Mountain, A History of Violence, Rachel Getting Married.

oh i forgot history of violence. 7/75 for me.

clayton will place

history of violence has one of my favorite closing scenes of anything on the list (apart from dogville, ho ho). it's sly, almost funny, but can't really be funny because of everything that's come before.

yeah, I think Michael Clayton will show up
