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

exactly why i stopped at 20

I sort of wish I had as well. Most films in my 21-40 have some kind of significant flaw. I only see a couple of films a year that I think are close to faultless.

volcano was the last film I watched that was faultless

as A. Elk said about her theory in a Python sketch, "it's mine."

But Anne Elk (Miss)'s theory that she had was a theory anyone could've had.

darko, lynch, werner and wong

would like to see the offices of this law firm tbh

the one you just invented?

I didn't invent the quote in that post- it was a direct quote from iatee?

the point of voting in a poll is to get stuff you liked on that poll

In no way suggesting that Omar should cook up any more screencaps, but I'd be interested to see 101-150 just in list form.

pretty sure he's planning to do this IIRC, mentioned on the noms thread maybe?

right but you're assuming that doesn't overlap with your pov

right but you're assuming that tactical voting =

'i hated this but just wanted it to place higher on the list'

when really tactical voting (for me) was voting for a bunch of movies I liked, only skipping the ones that had 0 chance of making it and giving preference to stuff that might not get enough support from ilx cause everyone is busy voting for david lynch. I dunno, the difference between tactical voting and not tactical voting isn't actually that big.

how long does it take to get honey nut cornflakes

like why the f would somebody vote for a movie they hated?

xp

I wrote some software to decide my voting. It asked me a bunch of y/n questions about which film was better than which other film, and then ranked the films accordingly.

Tactical voting on a film poll? Wha? It's a poll, not a contest.

oops, delete the second 'right but'

It's a poll, not a contest.

haha call it what you want

s'ok, i kinda forgot that i'd written 'i hated this but just wanted it to place higher on the list'

I only voted for stuff that I knew would annoy people on this thread.

honey nut cheerios, man, honey nut cheerios

tbh I would be more interested in a poll where people only voted for stuff that they hated but they wanted to place high on the list

i just voted for the 40 movies i liked the best for the nominations list, and tried to do that in order of how much i liked them. other people's opinions of them, or speculation of where they'd finish on the list didn't enter into it.

hot or not: film edition?

honey nut cheerios

no accounting for taste

and tried to do that in order of how much i liked them.

which is where the absurdity comes in, as someone mentioned earlier, cause how much did you really prefer #34 to #35? might as well get the most out of your ballot imo.

'which of these would i prefer to watch again right now' i guess? it was thrown together tbh.

i agree with whoever said tactical voting is as silly as getting upset at the results.

but like history mayne, i think at most maybe 1 or 2 people on this board have seen my #1, and i'm positive that a couple others in my top 10 aren't going to "place" at all.

Looks like the only movie from my top 10 to place is Happy-Go-Lucky. Somehow I kinda doubt Innocence or The Isle or Lilo & Stitch would've made it this far.

no don't worry tuomas, I tactical voted lilo & stitch into the top 10

Great!

but during yr stay, you will obey protocol.

i tactically voted it OUT

just voted for 40 movies i couldn't care less about to block lilo & stitch iirc

i know that morbs has seen my number one and maybe a couple of others have. i thought there was a slim chance of it making the list, in the very lowest reaches, until i saw the number of votes that the 100th place film garnered.

ya me too haha

i was like ok... not gonna happen.

would like to see a list of #1s that didnt make it at all.

or most #1s/not placing

i've long since given up on any tsai at all, which means my #2 won't place. there's at least a few more in my top 10 that i'm sure won't either, but otoh i fully expect my #1 to be the actual #1.

because i like to vote for WINNERS.

i think at most maybe 1 or 2 people on this board have seen my #1

lilo & stitch

I think these polls would be sorta fascinating if the tactical voting was organized and people traded votes for stuff they liked, agreed on movies to support etc.

in a weird way the results would be a lot more representative of ilx's taste...something like LOTR, for example, probably has a lot more support on ilx than the results suggest. split votes for less popular genres/directors wouldn't be as big of a problem.
