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

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?

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.

namely me and some other dude

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

ya me too

decasia

xp

me and some other dude and everyone we know

s1ocki's "my dinner with some dude" would be the dad jokiest film of all time

let's make it happen in 010

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

I bet I haven't, since I'm as middle as it gets

someone pls photoshop morbs onto cover of 'as good as it gets'

had i voted, i probably woulda put this in at #1 with a bullet:

http://www.theister.com/dvd.html

and i'm pretty sure i'd be the only one.

So I guess the two Jackass films split the vote? History will not be kind.

just checked my ballot and i am 10/90.

14/90 and presuming at least 4 possibly 5 of the remaining films where ones I voted for.

Wow, 20 of my 40 have shown up now.

10/90 here, with 2 or maybe 3 more still coming

Yeah, I'm on 20/40 as well.

Let the Right One In is great. I love how skewed the moral compass is at the end. Also, fuck that horror purist bullshit.

i get the feeling that the hype around a movie like let the right one in doesn't do it any favours in certain (ILX) quarters.

that compensates for the hype that gets ppl in the theaters to see it

which LTRII could've used a tad more of

ya, what a shame that people are going to see foreign-language films in the theaters. xxp

LTROI, sorry :)

imagine how bad it would be for film culture if people started seeing more romanian films too

*shudder*

what a shame that people are going to see foreign-language films in the theaters

in that particular case, yeah. I guess I don't give a toot what language delivers boredom (very MIDDLE of me)

The Death of Mr. Langlois

LTROI's gender-related coyness gave it the necessary faux depth to achieve cult statud

which LTRII could've used a tad more of

read this as LOTR II and for a second was more hype??

Here's a fun, non-spoilerizing question: what are everyone's highest ranking movies that they're positive aren't going to make it into the top ten? Mine is To Be And To Have at #4.
