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

morbs, DON'T

hahahaha

If it wants to keep ice cr?am awake, it does.

The funny thing about this argument is that my opposition to wall-to-wall action isn't borne out of a distaste for vulgarity or anything like that but from the fact that it actually makes my attention drift rather than perk up. The great thing about The Hurt Locker, for instance, is that it's a series of set pieces where you know exactly what's happening and who's involved and what the stakes are, and the lack of anything extraneous to that makes it gripping. When there's an endless series of explosions and chases and gunfire, it's hard for me to follow what's going on (even in WALL-E, I couldn't figure out for a long time who had the flower), and I start tuning out.

Is IB really that good?

the moment weve all been waiting for

no xpost

it's dope

yes

its v good but not quite that good

it's awesome, i liked 'death proof' better tho

fantastic movie, probably his best

Inglourious Basterds is pretty awesome, but it's probably too high in this poll.

so much better on the second viewing, easily tarantino's best of the decade, but i have to say i'm pretty shocked at how high this is.

^^^totally feelin you on this, I am the same

I didn't vote for any Tarantinos but I thought IB was pretty enjoyable for the most part.

I wish I hadn't been thoroughly trashed on mojitos when I tried to watch this movie because the 40 minutes I saw before I passed out were great; although a lot of my entertainment came from attempting to decipher the German (we were watching a pirated copy from Puerto Rico, so the subtitles... were all in Spanish).

ill just sit here quietly and say that opinions differ on the quality of this film (hint: its fucking crap)

agree that IB came in that high but yeah it's good, his best since jackie brown

38 people voted for this just to make Morbs mad.

I wasn't stanning for Kill Bill and found Death Proof just downright creepy (ok tarentino, take it to the whorehouse), so I just didn't bother. Maybe I'll add it to my lovefilm queue.

You cosmopolitan trash you.

question to voters: how much of your voting was strategic, and was your strategy to piss off Morbs?

lol xp

attempting to decipher the German (we were watching a pirated copy from Puerto Rico, so the subtitles... were all in Spanish).

lolololz

morbs actually voted for this film. yeah, i was surprised too.

misread Dan's post as saying "I wish I had been thoroughly trashed on mojitos when I tried to watch this movie"

no #1s!

I'm with John on this one - the opening scene was great, then it just went on and on and on and on and I wished I had walked out.

this is a joke rite

saw this piece the other day http://www.mstrmnd.com/log/1394 It's like a fanboy sitting down with the dvd, a little dense and difficult and off in tone but i liked the bit about Donowitz making his first appearance coming out of CINEMA ITSELF

This was my highest ranking American film (#9).

I don't know if I'd rank this as best-of-decade based on what I saw; I'm not even sure if I'd say it's Tarantino's best film considering how much I love "Kill Bill" and "Jackie Brown"

the opening scene is like twenty minutes long tho right? it's amazing

I like IB a lot, but want to give it a few years to percolate in my head before I put it on any best-of-decade.

one thing little part in IB that i think exemplifies QT's greatness is how in the first scene, landa pulling out the super large pipe is such a big laugh moment (tons of laughter in both showings i saw) and yet it didn't take away from the tension of the scene -- i never find his whimsy distracting

Can't BELIEVE you didn't quote Morbs there, omar.

xpost that scene was amazing, filled with dread

Okay, I'm totally confused now. I still have 8 movies that I was sure were going to place in the top ten, as it made no sense that they would've gotten few enough votes to fall outside of the top 100. WTH?

his negative quotes were contradicted by its #3 showing on his ballot. i emailed him back to ask if this was correct, and he replied, "Yes. What a joy it brought to me!"

then he sent me a second email with just a smiley face.

i think the only thing i disliked in the entire movie was eli roth's line delivery

IB is such an incredible film. It's obviously hard to predict how it'll feel 3-4 years from now but it made an immediate and powerful impression on me. It was #8 on my ballot, one slot below Munich, which are really interesting films to read against each other imo.

omar, are you finishing this today?

i basically think of this movie as an intensely meditative, personal film by a dude whose inner life is kind of warped and totally out in the open. it's like in 30 rock when kenneth only sees muppets.

lol at morbs, trolling even in his ballot.

almost 40% of ilx voters for IB - highest yet?
