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

TMA

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

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.

a NOVEL

"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

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

xxxpost that and vag bubbles

Essentially it's a leftist "message movie" mixed with magical realism

sounds right up history mayne's street.

I'm sure few missed the 2500-screen tittytwister last summer.

i don't even know what that is

I thought Japon was great. It would have been in my top 10 if I had voted in this poll.

amelie gave me a titty-twister

in my head I just picture al pacino going "japon man...japon!" in his ridicuban accent

Amelie polished my gnome.

i love how we're already repeating arguments against arguing over the poll

this is what we talk about when we talk about polling

Fresa y chocolate & buena vista social club were both "well-regarded" in the 90s

I just realized, Moulin Rouge hasn't placed yet... That's gotta be in the top 25, right? Everyone I know loved that movie.

smh

no it's awful

yeah Tuomas, I don't really know anyone on ILX either.

moulin rouge (luckily) feels like ages ago.

oh yeah beuna vista social club by that well-known cuban wim wenders.

no way moulin rouge places and the fabulous pearl harbor doesn't

if moulin rouge places ill shake my head
