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

(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

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

The Island is gonna go top 5 surely

I wish people would remember that we noted the same complaints in the Pitckfork/Stylus/other end of the year polls.

guys have you seen this thing amelie can do with a ping pong ball...?

they were probably as boring and repetitive there as well

You should see The Waiting List, it's awesome! Essentially it's a leftist "message movie" mixed with magical realism, but there's nothing didactic about it... It's more about general human solidarity than communism, communism isn't even mentioned in it. I'm not sure how widely it was released, but it was pretty well regarded in Finland. (It was the only movie on my list to be released in Finnish cinemas outside of film festivals.)

though i do look forward to another several days of eye-rolling, head-shaking and loud sighing from the cinéaste crowd

exactly how those commie rats operate...

haha

you can see ANYTHING on Netflix, like the 2500-screen tittytwister you missed at the multiplex last summer.

City of God is a Dead End Kids movie w/out jokes.

dats a burn
