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

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

contrarians the world over

^^^ 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

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

The people loving IE are not the same ones hating MD.

i voted for moulin rouge, totally loveable and sentimental film, i guess it has some cute po-mo storytelling tricks but don't think the overall effect is insincere or ironic, tuomas otm

i liked moulin rouge and would probably watch it again b4 i watched 75% of this list

the whole point of moulin rouge is taking this super-ironic all-surface glitzfest and using it to actually get at some real emotions

it's the campiest movie ever

and it was funny! the big production they're working on is called "spectacular spectacular", c'mon that's funny

I bet you people hate glee too

i hate musicals with all i can muster

HATE them.

Yeah, I just don't like Lynch. Watched MD because it was so universally praised and wanted to punch everyone who recommended it to me. Didn't bother with IE.

And I voted for Moulin Rouge.

glee is televisual. for all its pyrotechnics & cgi and sound design, moulin rouge is more the spectacle of musical theater

than cinema

taking this super-ironic all-surface glitzfest and using it to actually get at some real emotions

I think you're confusing MR! with Obama's election night

everyone loves moulin rouge

The people loving IE are not the same ones hating MD.

Ah! lol

thx

moulin rouge is sincere, but the thing it's sincere about is dumb, so its sincerity isn't really a virtue. btw i am a musical geek and i hate that movie so much.
