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

mayne do u like that well-known film from england North By Northwest?

goole saw No Cunt for Old Men.

What's wrong with Moulin Rouge?

^the tragedy of ADD

Seriously, have I stumbled into some weird alternate universe where everyone hates Moulin Rouge?! What do you think was wrong with it?

would rather talk about knocked up and von trier again, tbh

because it's like the most postmodernny musical ever??

have we had pirates of the caribbean yet?

Toumas, do you know so little about ILX taste that you think their film poll would place Moulin Rouge in the top 25 films of the decade?

goole saw No Cunt for Old Men.

don't really know how to respond to this, i just wanted to see it posted again

for shame tuomas

I like where this thread is going.

have made it through inland empire several times on dvd in the last three years, liked it each time, but NOTHING is going to equal the three hours i spent (almost alone, close to midnight, on that zonked edge of being utterly exhausted and riveted) watching it in the theater, which is why it was still my no. 2. i can't think of another movie that left me as shaken/upset/elated/confused/awed when i walked back into the "adult world" (c. 2010, dr. morbius).

without any postmodern irony or "LOL musicals"

uh, this is all it was

Inland Empire's inclusion is almost as sure as Moulin Rouge's snub.

did vote for mull drive, too. think lynch is the only director to appear twice on my ballot. not something i could have predicted in the '90s.

MD is a worthy #1, but is anyone else hoping it isn't?

lol at "snub" re: moulin rouge

yeah i'm hoping my top choice gets yo number one.

Better MD #1 than ESOTSM #1

think tuomas is being postmodern and ironic?

I'd have to go back to seeing barton fink in its original theatrical run for an equivalent leaving-the-theater-disoriented on par w/ inland empire

because it's like the most postmodernny musical ever??

Only in the music choices, which I think worked fine. When I went to see it I was expecting for it to have this sort of postmodern wink-wink attitude, but I was surprised how sincere and grandiose and unashamedly sentimental it was, and I loved it for that! That's how a musical for this age should be, most other 90s/00s film musicals I've seen have been much less serious about the whole art form.

still hoping it doesn't place tbh xp

^^^ rejected Smiths song title.

right now i can't think of a lynch film i've thought less of than inland empire, except dune. i liked the shit with the bunny heads, but that was stand-alone stuff shoved into the movie anyhow.

i'd be happy with MD, but i wouldn't mind a totally wtf/unexpected no. 1. at least if it's not moulin rouge.

xp to edward: yes!

Better MD #1 than ESOTSM #1

Truer words never typed.

leaving inland empire i was met by hella hasids in their mitzvah tanks all down 6th ave joyously whooping it over hanukkah

MD is a worthy #1, but is anyone else hoping it isn't?

deric w. haircare

i don't want mulholland dr (is there a morbsy alt title for it? i hope so. try to work in fact it is based on a tv pilot ep maybe) to even get in the top 100

people who hate dune are the most disgusting savages imo

hate is a strong word

sounds like the film actually followed ice cr?m out of the theater

Guys, hate to dismount the gangpile, but I kinda see where Tuomas is coming from w.r.t the movie's shameless sentimentality. Aren't the people who love it generally the most po-faced, unironic musical theater geeks you've ever met?

vetoing all proposals for a discussion on Lynch's Dune.

ok this is the part where I inexplicably stan for moulin rouge

guessing southland tales is not going to make it

moulin rouge not on my ballot but if I'd seen it again recently it might've made it

did vote for mull drive, too. think lynch is the only director to appear twice on my ballot. not something i could have predicted in the '90s.

don stop believin

Better MD #1 than ESOTSM #1

Truer words never typed.

If you're looking for a travesty, that'd be ESOTSM at #86 on the Sl*nt poll.

true, or slant???

Yeah. Too high.

never seen this degree of mulholland hate/inland empire love. is this a contrarian ilx universe or am i out of a wider loop here?

I think Once has a better shot at placing than Moulin Rouge. And I don't think Once has a shot in hell.

ilx is a contrarian ilx universe

that's not what's happening

the poll results are coming from inside the house
