ILX All-Time Film and Morbsies Poll: RESULTS Thread for ILX's Favorite Movies, Films, Cinema, Flicks & Moving Pictures

didn’t have time to post about Sunset Blvd earlier but I love it, it is so weird and extravagantly and humorously overwrought, and it flashes between being a horror story and a love story

tbh it's completely impossible to predict - we are all Fernando Rey reaching for the ham of hope

Sure of course, but I like the ratcheting up of "some of these will be going home with nothing!"

But Rear Window, which itself has a genius final shot, contains the scariest single shot in cinema history - Burr looking up at US when he sees the ring on Kelly's finger. AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

One million percent. Sucks all air out of the room every single time, but only in context.

Wow, I voted for 4 Lynches but not the (presumably) second-highest Lynch placement. FWWM is great, I didn't consider voting for it because it's too hard to separate it out from the entire Twin Peaks franchise. His darkest and most brutal movie, for sure, but also a great sad performance by Sheryl Lee.

Of course I know which movies get in and which don't, but I don't know if I'd go about pruning down Andrew's list if I didn't.

maybe take out Die Hard, but that's it

what films do people think are going to show up in the top 20?

At least one or two or three Scorseses

Possibly 1 more Altman
Possibly 1 or 2 Godards

1 more Lynch

20 kubricks

:) I can see a Renoir and a film each by Hitchcock, Welles, and maybe Ford, Ozu, Scorsese, and maybe two by Kubrick and Lynch

Are people <that> into Eraserhead?

I say that because Inland Empire feels a little like a longshot RN.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

I think Inland Empire is a longshot

and eraserhead has already placed

Twin Peaks: The Return was nominated as well, I believe.

it was very high on my list

also voted for Mulholland Drive

lol, forgot about Eraserhead placing.

I have a feeling Agnès Varda will be dealt a bad hand via vote-splitting here. She deserves a spot in the top 100, but with which film?

surely Cléo from 5 to 7, but I love a lot of her films

from here on it's going to be turtles all the way down

not saying I won't love these films

All Dana Carvey Top 20!

#1 is an SNL ep from '89

Prediction I'll probably end up feeling silly about: based on my own ballot, and based on the near-obsession found in the ILX thread, Zodiac will be in the Top 20.

Is Children of Men still coming?

It'll be pretty funny if Twin Peaks: the Return places. 120 years of movies and we have to pilfer from television.

sorry you feel that way

I love it to death but I'm firmly in the "it's TV" camp.

it's tv

who cares

it's tv

it's about a lonely Parisian woman

:)

it is so much more than tv and more than almost every other movie

It's at #17 in the Shmight & Shmound poll, which overlaps very heavily with this thread

https://letterboxd.com/lifewithnopants/list/shmight-shmound-2019/

Twin Peaks: The Return was one of the most amazing universes ever constructed, with the weight of all of what came before

Still TV

I suspect their top 3 will be the same as ours.

TP:TR shouldn't be on this list because it is only about 40% good, apart from anything else.

whatever

it's about 30% abjectly terrible, fwiw.

Is I'm Thinking of Ending Things TV? Berlin Alexanderplatz? The Wiseman films made for PBS? Etc., etc.

Berlin Alexanderplatz is TV.

Got eight votes in the 2012 S&S poll.

A lot of the Fassbinder TV stuff got retooled as Features and/or was shown theatrically outside Germany.

Berlin Alexanderplatz is TV.

that is such a ridiculous idea of what is worthy and what is not
