and here comes fraud

too low

Fiiiiith plaaaace forevvvvvvvah.

Thought this poll was great up until the top ten - diverse, different from other end-of-year lists I've seen. So Enough Said/Before Midnight has come like a punch to the gut.

4. The Act of Killing - 311 pts. 10 votes 3 #1

there was never a moment of doubt that they would make it

see now ugh The Act of Killing.

Did Enough Said make a lot of Top 10 lists? xposts

I'm going to claim that one as a Danish production.

Yay, a foreign film in the top 10!

Saw it last saturday, it's pretty good. Not like, the fourth best film of the year, or in any way the best/scariest documentary (Wang Bing, you savages!) but good!

It was my number 1.

Act of Killing is more of a number 9 movie than a number 4 movie

XPOST
Fair point, I'm sure you are right abt Enough Said's uniquely high placing in the ILX 2013 Film List.

I don't know maybe it did place highly elsewhere. I was asking!

Is Leviathan a US film? (xp to Frederik)

xxp a Revolution number 9 movie.

act of killing was my #1

Leviathan's directors are British and Swiss, but they work out of Harvard I think.

3. Inside Llewyn Davis - 340 pts. 14 votes

expected that to be #1 here

Is Leviathan a US film? (xp to Frederik)

Leviathan is an American production, afaik. Contrarily, Joshua Oppenheimer is American, but it's a Danish-British-Norwegian co-production, with the Danish studio as the main backer. Again, afaik. Also, neither Steve McQueen nor Alfonso Cuaron (whom I'm guessing will place) is American, right?

McQueen is a Brit and Cuaron is Mexican.

Off-topic, but was Cuaron the first hispanic to win an Oscar, btw?

A Directing Oscar, I mean.

Yes.

firsr to win Best Director. There have been three previous nominees

2. Gravity - 370 pts. 16 votes. #1

Gukbe thanks for doing it despite the fuck awful top 10.

Yeah, many thanks for doing this Gukbe! This was amazing, and could be the start of a great tradition. It would also give a reason to punk people to see the best non-indie features of the year.

I'll post the full list at some point (ugh formatting) but for you, Frederik:

41. Only God Forgives - 79 pts. 4 votes.

Missed the top 40 by 1 point.
