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

was 4/3/2 thee first film with more than 1 no.1 vote?

(519 points, 22 votes, 1 first place)

i might agree with the mullholland drive thing except for the fact that i don't think lynch be dumb enough to try to explain his movies even to himself.

like Mordy do you get mad at En Chien Andalou and Meshes of the Afternoon too or what

x-post

considering I voted for two lynch films I don't think that's the issue, Shakey. it's not that it's irrational, it's that it's dungeons + dragons bullshit pretending to be deep. read the director's fake sci-fi book and the whole film will make sense to you within the context of his paratext work, and that's what makes it utter shit

Iran & China do not exist, it appears.

― Fusty Moralizer (Dr Morbius),

Armond White correct: Romania overrated.

― Fusty Moralizer (Dr Morbius),

depressing

lamp, dunno how i read two, cheers.

flashing back to classmates in college presenting endless reams of justification for what their bullshit scripts "really meant."

i wonder if any of them have actually gotten to make a movie yet.

"interestingly" enough, 4m/3w/2d was far from the lowest ranking film that had more than one #1 vote.

key to liking DD: ignore Richard Kelly.

mb im misremembering the plot but i think donnie was ~supposed~ to die in the 1st place but got saved by frank in order to learn sum hard truths abt love and lyfe but then he has 2 kill himself bcuz he created a wormhole that threatened all the ppl he now loves so truly. kinda sum garbage but srsly mordy y do u care abt the mechanics of this w/e kelley says it really, really isnt the point

there were 2 #1 votes, i fuxored the typing (if not the image)

+ btw, Shakey, without all the paratext, my issue with the film wouldn't be the irrationality. it would be that it just sucks and seems to throw in random bullshit that doesn't effect or move me at all. contrast with Inland Empire where even the most random confusing things terrified me

actually it says 2 on the .jpeg

xpost ok cheers.

if the wind will carry us was eligible as morbs said, and missing here, that is a shame. easily one of kiarostami's best; p top three for me with Through the Olive Trees and Close Up (which is kind of a personal fav).

read the director's fake sci-fi book and the whole film will make sense to you within the context of his paratext work, and that's what makes it utter shit

didn't read it so maybe there's your problem

Lamp's DD reading matches mine and is OTM

okay my list from last night:

no country for old men
inglourious basterds
city of god
wall-e
royal tenenbaums
there will be blood
mulholland drive
eternal sunshine
inland empire
spirited away
the departed
zodiac
superbad
knocked up
lost in translation
cache
the incredibles
in the mood for love
adaptation
children of men
grizzly man
+donnie darko
+4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days

which leaves room for 2 of these:
memento
zoolander
let the right one in
fog of war
bourne whatever (this is seeming less likely)
prestige
to be and to have
me and you and everyone we know
juno (and this)
cthd

i'm embarrassed to say i forgot to vote for memento, even tho it was one of my fave movies. i just didn't realize somehow that it was eligible.

ok guys one small request for the rest of the poll, which is to try to talk more about the films that have placed and spend less time speculating, a request i realize will probably fall on deaf ears since there hasn't been a single ilx poll where people don't begin to speculate at some point...

"interestingly" enough, 4m/3w/2d was far from the lowest ranking film that had more than one #1 vote.

which lower placing film got 2 #1 votes?

dude I'm not gonna read it now and have no interest in Kelly's ramblings... as basically every DD stan on this thread has noted, listening to an artist explain his work is usually a waste of time at bestand a detriment to enjoyment of the work at worst, as you and Dan have both clearly indicated

Wet Hot American Shit

This is pretty good.

Throughout the entire movie, DD is disaffected, depressed and disconnected with the world around him. As things go on, he realizes it's because he was supposed to die. So he kills himself. The end. There's nothing particularly heroic about it and the aftermath on his family is just as traumatic because no one knows about the sacrifice he made.

completely disagree w/ yr reading here

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

DD isn't depressed and disconnected because he was supposed to die - he's just a mopey teenager unwittingly thrust into a hero role. by not dying at the beginning of the film he created an alternate universe, a branch in time that results in the death of his girlfriend. by going back and dying, he saves her, which is why she is there at the end of the film. it's poignant because she's been saved by her lover and she doesn't even know it...

very interesting if a film outside the hundred did.

As is You Can Shit On Me

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/etienne_saint/incredibles.jpg

Not incredible. But very good. Too violent, too wise-cracking for me. A bit of the humor fell flat, but the action stuff was really edge-of-your seat stuff. It seems a dozen times more ambitious than any other Pixar project, and the only trade-off was that the intimacy and endearing slow-pace of the other films is totally dropped in a gonzo-off-the-wall breakneck speed.

Good times, otherwise.

― Remy

I can't believe how consistent Pixar has been. I'm always ready to write them off and end up being completely blown away by everything they do.

This is great. The animation is unbelievable, the voice acting is terrific (Heather Hunter and Sarah Vowell, whom I have a huge crush on, in particular.)

Definitely one of the best movies I've seen this year.

― stephen morris

OH MAN WAS THE INCREDIBLES FUN. It basically hit on everything I loved about Modernist visual design ca. 1955-1975 (the villain's hideout, the copious usage of Eurostile font and the '63 Stingray/XKE/Mercedes 300SL-derived car Mr. Incredible drove in a couple scenes almost gave me aneurysms of joy). And in a naive innocent Who's-Ayn-Rand-wossa-libertarian-tort-reform-huh? mindset (like the one I went into this movie with, in total 'block all depressing conservatism for sanity's sake' mode) then it's a great, simple story about the benefits of nonconformity and America's sad obsession with rendering heroes mortal (see: every modern athlete ever). And it reminded me of Watchmen.

― nate patrin

was dragged to this by a friend. was actually shocked by how much fun this was.

photo realistic computer animation is a long ways off, as underlined by that repellent 'Polar Express' trailer. but this movie points towards an amazing hyper-realism that I haven't seen in a pixar film yet. characters that are markedly different sizes, convincingly moving around in the same space -- it gets to your head, it involves you.

the one mom/daughter moment outside the cave was nice and I felt a little heart tug, then realized I'm staring at a 'character' whose eyes occupy almost the entire top half of her head and her nose is the size of a pea, and I FLIPPED OUT

― (Jon L)

I might have missed it, but no comparisons to James Bond yet on this thread? The film *screamed* Bond homage after a certain point, invoking a ton of the tropes -- the (ha-hem) 'cartoonish' death of various evil underlings, the design of the base (very VERY You Only Live Twice), the elegant dining room-in-impossible-setting, the 'female henchwoman who goes over to the good side' (though not in traditional Bond fashion, of course), the ending that's not quite THE ending, and absolutely the music. To be sure a lot of Bond-in-film's approach is a realization of comic hyperdrama so it's not a real surprise, but I think it's clearly a thread throughout.

Did anyone else like the slightly bizarre but fun Jack Lemmon/Walter Matthau 'Odd Couple' cameo at the end? Really didn't expect it and I don't think it had any context but it was sure fun.

The movie is definitely an indictment of evil fanboy obsessiveness more than anything else. ;-)

― Ned Raggett

I just saw The Incredibles and it was very good!

otm btw

If I recall correctly, sarahel had the same #1 as me, and it didn't make the top 100.

Hate to say it, but table was right about Pixar. Enough.

fucking Pixar garbage

i sometimes feel like the only human being on planet earth who doesn't like pixar

hahaha xposts

it's 2010 we don't need to pretend to like iranian cinema anymore

joeks, plenty iranian films I like

No doubt two more Pixar movies still to come in the top 20.

worst movie fuck this republican bullshit in the eye

< / speculation, sorry omar >

fucking America.

lol pixar backlash

*burns flag*

the superbad & departed screen caps are maybe my favorite two so far

"pineapple express" is my favorite apatow clan bcuz of franco/mcbride

pixar is so universally loved that of COURSE a vocal segment of the ilx population hates it

"interestingly" enough, 4m/3w/2d was far from the lowest ranking film that had more than one #1 vote.

my guess is a "joe" film.

it's like the biggest contrarian target ever. xp

otm

4m/3w/2d is so good, sad it didn't place

what?
