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

in a Lynch film character matters less than a human being's response to certain psychological and emotional stimuli. He reminds us that we're not men or women, but animals, and not particularly sensible ones.

nicely put, yeah. and on a physical level, he's so acutely aware of sight, sound, textures, but he distorts or exaggerates or makes them surprising in ways that kind of detune the world and make it all seem alien and vivid. so that we're not allowed to not be aware of how we're reacting to things.

mhd is a lock for #1 tho guys we can all agree on that rite

lool its ~all~ lame maaaan

loool

i liked a lot of the mid- to close-up caps, like dark night, o brother, too many to remember, lot of good ones with evocative focus or great background (children of men).

think audrey tautou looks great as amelie in yr cap as opposed to elsewhere (possible wall of shame for me?)

i meant my own post was lame, btw, idk if that was clear

if yrs was lame, mine was lame *huggelz*

thank u omar!

Lives of Others, Cache, The Departed and Brokeback Mountain were all ace screencaps among movies I didn't vote for.

you are welcome -_-

i really liked the cap for memories of murder

the screencaps were obv better than most of the movies.

also guys, better placing for Children of Men:

76th

i'm gonna go ahead and predict that Mulholland Drive takes ILX's best films of the 21st C. Poll

yesssss -_-

didn't vote so wasn't gonna post but am nevertheless thanking omar for organizing this very entertaining thread + excellent screencap selection (inland empire being maybe my fave)

xpost to morbs -- Either way, still about Eternal Sunshine.

er, ABOVE

O where was De Palma's Masterpiece? down the tub.

really, putting ESOTSM at #86 got at least one friend to say 'bullshit' to me

too bad Gondry forgot to put a 13-minute videogame sequence in ES, woulda suckered this generation.

Tough shit.

otm woulda been rad xp

morbz otm. CoM disgusts me more every time i see it.

Stop watching it over and over, then!

I know comedy's rough on you, it's only been around what, 40 years?

but i also have amassed a link collection of more than fifty videos of churches burning.

CoM disgusts me more every time i see it.

last time i saw com he told me he didnt like u either and said that sweater makes u look old so

I like CoM! I like Femme Fatale too. But as MORRISSEY wd opine, they SAAAAY nothing to me about MYYY life.

prefer net or even org def

what if i just came out and said that if the world stopped being able to have kids it WOULD BE A FUCKING MIRACLE.

also, i hate religious parables in big box office movies, they disgust me.

Fave screencaps -- because there aren't enough ranked lists of things yet --

1 In Bruges
2 The Hurt Locker (I haven't even seen the film yet, but the still choice puts across the intensity everybody's been writing about)
3 The Incredibles
4 Spirited Away
5 In the Mood for Love (haven't seen this one yet either)
6 Brokeback Mt
7 Brick
8 A History of Violence
9 Inland Empire
10 Grizzly Man

omar, I think my favorite screencaps are:
-Tropical Malady (good sense of the mysterious force that nature takes in this film)
-Minority Report, In The Loop, In Bruges, Far From Heaven, Eastern Promises (great reaction shots)
-Elephant (surreal, like the movie)
-The Host, Kill Bill 1, Zodiac, Inglorious Basterds, Eternal Sunshine, Inland Empire
-loved the intense Jake face in Donnie Darko and the vampire face in Let The Right One In
-The ones for Cache and Brokeback Mountain could have been better, I guess, kind of impersonal

The best of all: In The Mood For Love....perfectly composed

counterpoint: cache screencap was dope

I liked it, almost voted for it

i was hoping the MhD screen cap would be scary diner man cause that woulda been so surprising its SCARY

to make up for how not surprising MhD winning was

Children of Men doesn't exactly include a whole lot of compelling evidence that mankind deserves redemption. It merely shows that most humans would, you know, work toward procreation.

counterpoint: mankind deserves redemption

lol

hi dere! This thread got interesting. Any dead black babies yet?

wo.

Did we already discuss the fact that Children of Men didn't even bring up the viability of abortion?

totally shouldve aborted clive owens chin

juilanne moores too fwiw

I support the Right to Choose up to 96 months postpartum.

counterpoint: clive's chin has character and only makes him more handsome

Morbs, you a daddy.
