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

superbad has plenty of heart, but more importantly it's funnier from word one.

now we're cooking tbh. this poll was getting saggy there for a while.

i think at the end of my life it will turn out that the departed is the movie i have seen the greatest number of times. i don't even know why, really. watchable!

I predict a lot of this poll will be trying to explain the difference between 'good film' and 'best of an entire decade's worth of cinema'

we ah doolee appointed feduhrull mahshulls

overrated. it was his turn.

yeah this is one of those movies like the first indiana jones and the second bourne movie that you can just watch whenever even if you just saw it like the day before

I'm cool with this one too.

I figured departed would be top 10

hate to admit it but this was more entertaining than IA

I don't hate to admit it. IA was crazy overrated.

someone post the .gif of wahlberg walkin by givin the finger pls

i don't even know why, really. watchable

great supporting cast/performances.

overrated. it was his turn.

it was his turn to get into this poll?

election, though, that's another story

wtf is IA?

I spent the beginning of "The Departed" hating all kinds of holy fuck out of it and wanting to die so that I could escape all possibility of watching it ever again, then it hit the scene in the alleyway where Leo and Matt are stalking each other and it magically transformed from then on into one of the most enjoyable films I've ever watched. Pretty fucking mean of the movie to be that emotionally-whiplashish.

Infernal Affairs

my private iowa, sequel to my private idaho

infernal affairs 2 was better than infernal affairs (both good, the departed much better)

dullish remake w/ blond bodybuilders

even nicholson in high-ham mode and leo's weepy switch being broken can't ruin the departed for me

wtf cant believe it took me that long to officially induct marky mark into my comedy hall of fame

also best possible graphic up there

i keep forgetting how many people are in this movie! it feels a little lumpy (some of the back and forth plotting stuff is handled sort of clumsily) but man i don't know if anyone could have found so much room in a movie for so many ppl. nicholson AND baldwin AND marky mark AND etc etc. i like its over-stuffed-ness

cast is great, ropey love story enhanced by inclusion of roger waters' 'comfortably numb', which is doubly enhanced by being included in the soparanos bcuz of the departed.

bah. infernal affairs is jazzy, trashy fun. departed adds an hour and dollops of catholic angst, to no good effect.

yup

i think i love catholic angst

maybe because of buffalo?

watched it 3 times on a 20 hour flight once

also best possible graphic up there

That entire sequence of events is just breathtaking to watch.

Worth watching for Wahlberg and Baldwin.

wahlberg/damon chemistry is the best thing about this movie

lamp how many of those ppl get thrown off a building?

overrated. it was his turn.

i mean the general love for it and the Oscar win.

catholic angst = you have my heart forever

this is practically marty's entire filmography obvs

departed owns infernal affairs completely

forgot what role baldwin had and just youtubed a scene - 30 rock has ruined my ability to appreciate him in anything anymore

Patriot Act! PATRIOT ACT!!!!!!!

also some of the nicholson scenes border on the surreal. not only their staging/readings, but how they're inserted into the overall film.

oh come on, baldwin's performance worth it for this alone:

"Marriage is an important part of getting ahead: lets people know you're not a homo"

also the supreme awkwardness of damon's "oh yeah, my dick's working...overtime!" response

why is jack donaghy in this movie and why is he speaking in such a ridiculous accent?

nicholson's 'rat' scene is .... something else

the colors/lighting in this film are really beautiful by the way, feels like a sunny day in the northeast

Favorite Jack is when he's playing with the severed hands

love kevin corrigan's performance too

love the Departed screengrab
