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

I thougt it was pretty key to the film to have the saviour of mankind be one of the people the fascist govt. was hellbent on dehumanizing.

sigh I guess I feel the same way after not having voted in 2004! xp

omar - i threw your screens into a flash sideshow. will post the link unless you object.

can you make "i guess we had the time of our life" play over it

when i watched, seemed to me that from the moment naomi watts showed up onscreen, until she goes to that audition, the acting was so obviously, intentionally terrible

How is this a bad thing, and can you spot intentionally terrible acting? That's part of the point of the movie.

i'm not sure, it was my experience watching that it starts by deliberately being poorly acted and trite, and just felt like a mishmash of hollywood references and v fake characters.

sounds dope, bnw

was disappointed I didn't get to make a TEH PANTOME MENACE #1 JOEK.jpg

thanks Omar! this was amazing.

one q: what was the lowest placed film with 2 first place votes that you mentioned about 3000 posts ago?

think you're just tone-deaf to whatever lynch's music is, daria

Can't believe all the corrections to "nobody has an abortion in Hollywood movies" and nobody brought up

i had to pull knocked up at #2 since folks were convinced it could be a top tenner

btw knocked up:

(146 points, 7 votes)

it always feels like lynch has such narrow interests.

heres the slideshow: http://02f3f10.netsolhost.com/flashgallery.html

The Intruder aka L'intrus (80 points, 2 votes, 2 first place)

haha, amazing!

what is wrong with an artist having "narrow interests"?

"A director makes only one movie in his life. Then he breaks it into pieces and makes it again." - johnny renoir

(i actually should have voted for L'Intrus)

those screengrabs are really awesome, I have the oscar announcer echoey voice in my head everytime I see them

i have no idea what renoir would think w/r/t david lynch.

i voted for l'intrus #1, who else did that?

iirc it was "moullet" (lurker, cineaste, hasn't posted in some time but did vote)

my top ten had in the bedroom,brand upon the brain,head-on, and batman begins. satisfied, but i wish those and mean girls had made it.

my number one was Patrice Chereau's Gabrielle fwiw.

your vote for in the bedroom was the only one. brand upon the brain had 75 pts, 3 votes. batman begins had 166 pts and 6 votes.

gabrielle: 42 pts, 2 votes, 1 first place

WHOA WTF no one else even voted for in the bedroom?? who nommed it??

curious how shattered glass fared (my #2)

all of these received 1 pt and 1 vote ;_;

Duplicity
Infamous
Klimt
Palindromes
Shotgun Stories
Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance
Tears Of The Black Tiger

shattered glass: 72 pts, 3 votes

not surprised about a lot of the stuff on my list that didn't make it, especially after Munich and Miami Vice placed in the middle, but I am still pretty surprised that All the Real Girls outdid George Washington.

xpost that was my Shotgun Stories point.

thnx again omar

george washington: 108 pts, 5 votes

yeah, love the palette in tears of the black tiger

ILX TOP 100 FILMS OF THE 2000s BALLOTS

re: pop abortion movies, none of them portray them like the fun quirky picnic that Juno makes teen pregnancy sound like, though 4 months comes close as a sort of madcap, we're getting to Wallyworld by any means necessary adventure.

re: shattered glass -- if there's a best star wars prequel poll, i hope this wins!

damn, Mean Girls and Election were so close. I had been convinced that the latter would place since everyone kept bigging it up.

by everyone, i mean the same 5 people

thanks a lot for this

ouch Mulholland Drive is loved 2000 times as much as Tears of the Black Tiger.

thanx omar. great stuff.

also, just for the record: Children of Men blows, what the fuck is the matter with you people.
