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

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.

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.

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

namely?

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.

the film

me and some other dude: the film

21/85 for me. Of the latest batch: The Departed, 4M/3W/2D, Lost in Translation, Grizzly Man.

Oops, I mean: 21/90.

is that miranda july film gonna be top 10?

dear God I hope not

me and some dude: the film

would watch

me and some other dude: the film

never distributed outside of bluetooth has surpassed single am festival showing as signifier of impeccable realness

c'mon omar gimme at least number ten before i have to go to work

xp Sounds like mumblecore.

apropos of Ghost World, I think ScarJo has thereafter been best used onscreen in Gomorrah.

(tho I did like BB Thornton's "Heavens to Betsy!" when she went down on him in The Man Who Wasn't There)

i need that nourishing hate to get me through the day

ok i'll just say one thing: the reason i didn't want people to speculate is because maybe a lot of folks have some idea of what will place and think it's obvious to everyone, but others may actually not have any clue i don't want to spoil it for them. i asked for no speculation and thanks to most of you for listening, but i'm not putting this much work into it so folks who may not have have figured out the top ten already can have it spoiled.

*anyway* i have the screencaps ready to go at work, but you'll have to wait for a couple hours while i methodically get ready for my sure-to-be slow commute. savages!

yep!

not that it's any big deal or of any particular interest to anyone other than me, really, but i'll post that info after the results have all come in (as omar requested).

I've moved on from top 10 speculation and am now mourning the ones left behind

obv The Mad Songs of Fernanda Hussein
