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

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

michael clayton, srsly

i mean i enjoyed it and all but no way

i'd be really surprised if Clayton placed at this point. maybe 40 slots ago, but not now

yeah there really isn't room for it in the top 25

i tell u

CLAYTON WILL PLACE

well i guess its settled

u guyz b real no way mike clay hits top 25 sweat stains or not sweat stains

thats right or not sweat stains

insider trading

I would have thought that Donnie Darko would be a lock. Not so sure anymore.
As far as comedies go, is there no love for Tropic Thunder?

i hav 2 say tho omar ur a bro for doing all this havent been this excited abt telling other ppl their taste in movies is shit for sum time~~~ really regaining my passion for the art form

McElwee drives me crazy though.

how's that, jeff?

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

I think, for all of the sadness in the movie, there's a lot of joy that makes up for it. Like Rachel and her husb seeming to be so genuinely in love. This movie is like a Stevie Wonder album: joy inside your tears and shit.

hey joy, get out of my shit

2000-4 poll top 20:

1) Mulholland Dr
2) Eternal Sunshine
3) Spirited Away
4) In The Mood For Love
5) City of God
6) The Royal Tenenbaums
7) Yi Yi
8) Amelie
9) Memento
10) Donnie Darko
11) Lost In Translation
12) 25th Hour
13) Ghost World
14) Before Sunset
15) Kill Bill 1
16) Kung Fu Hustle
17) Adaptation
18) Together
19) The Incredibles
20) Punch Drunk Love

I think some of the stuff that was released super early in the decade (City Of God, Memento, Donnie Darko) might suffer the most in this poll.

well kill bill 1 already dropped 30 spots

'Tell No One' isn't going to place now is it?

dudes Grizzly Man definitely making it in. Haven't seen enough Claire Denis (apparently missed 35 Rhums here?) but did vote Friday Night as a replacement for In The Mood For Love.

vendredi soir was rubbish

this list is barmy to me

vendredi soir did not exactly set my mind on fire.

children of men: i thought this film was way slept on by the critical establishment when it came out. it was actually on the cover of film comment though. it wasn't a great piece but still. n e way.

the timing of COM's release was shitty IIRC

everybody was jizzing over pans labyrinth instead iirc

i didn't check out children of men for ages cos i thought it was some rubbish brit sci-fi thing. then when i finally rented it i watched it straight through twice without getting up. i was like.....damn.

I'm kinda sad that Persepolis didn't make it, that was my favourite animated feature of the decade. I guess it suffered from having a very limited release. I don't see Shrek or Lilo & Stitch making it this far either, thought in my opinion they are better than any of the Pixars.

Shrek is horrible. The only animation flicks that come close to Pixar's best are Spirited Away and Waltz with Bashir.

Good Night & Good Luck have any chance of placing this high?

and have we had Iron Man.....

iron man's kind of a one trick pony - not much going on besides downey jr.

word.

x-men 2 on the other hand...

felt that paltrow's performance in IM was maybe the best of the decade
