Delayed Due To Projection Issues - the 2017 ILX Film Poll Results Thread

no collusion! you're the puppet!

I vote tactically in the P&J poll -- je ne regrette rien

wow that was a fast rollout

glad that Good Time & Lost City of Z placed highly, love both of those

Fun rollout. Thanks, sic!

I still have many of these to see, but hooray for #s 1, 2, 5, and 6!

Phantom Thread was my #3, didn't vote for the Stepford Whiteys

You're welcome.

Out all day, just catching up with the last 20. Thanks for picking this up, sic. Very surprised that Twin Peaks wasn't higher.

I don't see any other lists, but here's mine (I stopped where I would've started listing films I was closer to ambivalent about--somewhere between 7.0s and 6.5s).

1. 20th Century Women
2. The Vietnam War
3. Ex Libris
4. Citizen Jane
5. Dawson City: Frozen Time
6. The Jazz Loft According to W. Eugene Smith
7. Certain Women
8. The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman's Portrait Photography
9. Beatriz at Dinner
10. California Typewriter
11. The Florida Project
12. Mansfield 66/67

I didn't see my #1 until well into 2017, and the official release date on IMDB is January 2017 in both Canada and the States.

USA 28 December 2016 (limited)

ie if Bening had gotten the nod they were pursuing, you'd have voted for it last year.

before i find my best movies ballot here's my unused WORST movies of 2017

1. Lemon
2. The Big Sick
3. The Killing of a Sacred Deer
4. mother!
5. The Lovers
6. Wilson
7. It Comes at Night
8. Menashe
9. Wonder Wheel
10. Wonder Woman

There's a thread for that: BALLOTS: Ragnarok - ILM 2017 film poll ballot recycling

Thanks sic, good work.

Sad that The Woman Who Left didn't place; glad that the Star Wars film didn't place.

The Woman Who Left might have been kept off by release dates issues as well, I voted for it in 2016. I highly doubt it would have had enough votes anyway, though...

And yeah, thanks sic and Gukbe. So glad to see A Quiet Passion and The Florida Project on there.

the porg film only got two votes.

LOL had to Google that.

So if I've counted right, 8 from my 2017 ballot made the list. 6 from my 2016 ballot did.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you're so special, voting for stuff no one else can see

Thanks for finishing this poll, sic -- fun rollout. Thanks Gukbe for starting it.

ie if Bening had gotten the nod they were pursuing, you'd have voted for it last year.

My better judgement says don't ask, but I don't know what that means. One way or another, 20th Century Women was not opening in Canada until 2017.

(Sorry about posting my list here--didn't realize that other thread was up.)

one year later, Phantom Thread's release followed the same pattern. if you'd liked PT, you would not have "saved" it for next year.

as they used to say on Hee Haw, that's all!

Okay. Just to clarify, though, I didn't save 20th Century Women. Checking back, I posted about it on the Last (x) Movies thread on July 17, 2017; I didn't see it until well after last year's ILX poll. I brought up the official release dates simply as reasonable justification for including it in this year's ILX poll.

you're so special, voting for stuff no one else can see

^ voted for lots of stuff no one else could see

So untrue! I could give you the list of discs, streaming etc but y'know, do it yourself.

Are you going to make the #50-infinity results available?

^ voted for lots of stuff no one else could see in 2017

We voted last week, shug.

I voted for a rabbit no one else can see

I only tallied everything that got two votes or more, but I can reveal that:

Untitled and Wonderstruck were the two that came in last with 7 points
Kong: Skull Island got 8 points
Morbs would have had to put the Spielberg at his #7 or higher for it to place, but as it was it tied with Last Jedi.
One other person would have had to put my #1 as their #15 or higher for it to place.
Five films were voted on only by the LJ/tt household bloc.

Cool there was another voter for Untitled :) Great final film.

What was the 2018 film that had the same title as a 2015 film?

once more, to "place" is to come in 3rd

thank you and goodnight

pushes up glasses

Coming in 3rd is a “show” I think

sorry! 2nd

i am tired as i got to bed late after seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey in 70mm, which is a Starchild hovering over the butt pimples that are last year's films

i don't know, i think i'm gonna continue to misuse "place"

What even is that shit, like greyhound racing arcana or something

win / place / show only refers to horse racing, so we can see how the good Doctor likes to think of art

What was the 2018 film that had the same title as a 2015 film?

Tag (USA 2018) or Tag (Japan 2015).

Let’s discuss a film’s placement in 12th place on the countdown without using the word place from now on pls

[sniffily] you can bet each way on greyhound racing, actually!

Considering changing my dn to “places”

Different places.

just ftr here, there are 2 types of each way multiple bets which might vary from bookie to bookie or be subject to you stating your own preference. Win to win - place to place and All each way - equally divided.

American track betting is pretty different i think tho calz

the independent bookies I used to work for didn't have a branch there, scuse the ignorance. I presume they something similar to the French Parimutuel thingy.

Faces Places Places, Voter Unlaces

Two films based on comics by British writers received votes, and three adapting works by French cartoonists.

What were these?

Atomic Blonde, Kingsman 2, Mutafukaz, Zombilennium and The Death Of Stalin.

golf clap

Thanks sic.

Behind the scenes secret! I preferred this Phantom Thread still, but couldn't pass up the duelling grimaces of Root and Manville in one post.

this is such a trite morbsian false dichotomy, but even so, to engage it as if it were in fact the thrust of the matter: the disregard for whether a movie was a well or badly executed effort of or against its obvious genre classification in order to lobby for the right *type* of movie is a large element of these results

tactical voting is of course the other disgrace. amazing thing for an adult to be doing in ths context.

for an ILE poll on ILF subject matter, its all very ILM

uh talk about windbags

"One other person would have had to put my #1 as their #15 or higher for it to place."

xp 😘
