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

Well, most polls don't acknowledge the U.K. exists. So this one is a corrective in at least one respect.

iran didn't really bring the content in the 00s. 'the circle' was ok. but the EOD polls that listed 'crimson gold' were scraping the barrel, big time.

not that many uk films have polled by shaun of the dead, morvern callar, and in the loop are internationally well-liked films, far more so than any iranian film.

Latin America seems to be pretty much missing from the poll too... Which is a shame, as there were lots of great Argentinian/Brazilian/Cuban/Chilean/etc movies made in the 00s.

i mourn this poll ;_;

well, city of god will poll.

but there were lots of great Argentinian/Brazilian/Cuban/Chilean/etc movies made in the 00s.

name some.

^City of God and Amores Perros may place yet.

which were the great cuban films?

la cienaga, argentina

the EOD polls that listed 'crimson gold' were scraping the barrel, big time.

Whatever, Crimson Gold is at least silver.

Surprised Amores Perros didn't place - maybe Inarritu and Arriaga pissed away all the initial goodwill by repeating the narrative trick until it made no sense whatsoever.

great or very good argentine films of the 00s

la nina santa
historias extraordinarias
nine queens & el aura (bielinsky RIP)

i could prob name more if i was less groggy

THE POLL IS NOT OVER.

(dont think it'll place tho)

(and i do think that that's the reason why. also that movie wasn't that great)

how many French films have made this poll, just token Desplechin?

iirc like 100 (mostly american?) people voted on like 1000 films so it shouldn't be surprising that the list of winners looks like a list of films most people were able to see and thought were ok. films from iran don't come around that often ime, the couple i have seen were made in the 90s

lol @ desplechin being a "token" choice

Amelie, Morbs. Amelie.

You were no doubt sleeping when Amelie winked at you.

And not with her eye.

it was w/her butt

:o

you were no doubt sleeping when she opened a beer bottle for you in a most amusing manner

wink wink fizz fizz

token desplechin lol

but there were lots of great Argentinian/Brazilian/Cuban/Chilean/etc movies made in the 00s.

name some.

The Waiting List
25 Watts
Coronation
Japón
The Man of the Year
Suddenly
Me, You, Them
Nine Queens

But I do realize most of them probably never had a wide release (I saw all of them at film festivals), so it's unlikely too many people here have seen them.

oh, 'film festivals,' la-dee-dah

Post-beer bottle opening:

Tell that to her ass crack.

TMA

I know, it's starting to look bad for Brotherhood of the Wolf. :(

s1ocki reenacting Antichrist

saw a couple of those tuomo latinos - japon can suk a dik - 9 queens was fun but nowhere near votable - did however vote the hell out of city of god

japon (and alla that guy's films) sucked ass; just genuinely haven't heard of one well-regared cuban film since, like, the 70s.

xp

scarface was pretty good i thought (80s)

loool

what about 13 days

At this point I'm just waiting for the goddamn thing to finish, hoping to see a couple decent zings against Tanenbaums, and looking forward to the individual lists getting posted.

"the list of winners looks like a list of films most people were able to see and thought were ok."

NETFLIX has a lotta subtitled-make-head-hurt films. What you mean is ambitious, adult films that most people have no interest in seeing.

get over it

hahaha

have high hopes for the all teh #1joek.jpgs

a predic rite here:

Morbs is right. Wish people could step oustide of their Bay/Jackson/Spielberg/Desplechin populist bullshit.

i do too but i don't know why you would have high expectations for this kind of poll
