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

Exterminate them all imo

I don't think I've ever seen the normal version of this. Just the Redux version in about 2005.

Things have taken quite the turn

lol wow

Turkingtons amongst us

can't wait for the all-Nolan top 10

The extra scenes in the Redux version are good at explaining what is supposed to be happening in the film, but not so good as an actual viewing experience.

I told you all this was going to be bad.

amusing that both the older comments quoted above and the newer reactions are preponderantly critical and dismissive, but somehow the film placed #16 anyway.

This is very likely to be in someone's top 100 movies if they have not seen a shit ton of movies.

It’s in someone’s top 1!

Extended fakeout?

Real worried about what remains.

That said, come on - Apocalypse Now is like the Blockbuster! It's so ambling and heatstroked. All the simmering insanity.

i love apocalypse now

In this poll things get... confused out there

love you all, but on another level, you're all fucking crazy lol

to care about it so much i mean

but life blows, i get it. this is about as good as it gets

Morbs pulling the plug on this whole operation.

Didn't vote for this, but I do like it better than The Godfather movies; I think Coppola's strength is unusual spectacle rather than "interpersonal" character-centred scenes (which may be why this goes downhill at the end).

15. BLADE RUNNER (Ridley Scott, 1982, USA) [1,137.06 points; 17 votes]
S&S: 67 | TSPDT: 38 | BOXD: DNP

MORBS SEZ: "Ridley Scott is max's cinematic Obama (both excelled at making TV commercials)"

arguably the best sci-fi score of all time and a career peak for the Greek God of the Synthesizer, Vangelis

Absolutely essential.
― Alex in NYC, Tuesday, August 14, 2007 9:17 PM

Classic. Always takes me to, well, another world when I listen to it. Timeless in a retro-futuristic way, both in 1982 and now.
― Mr. Odd, Tuesday, August 14, 2007 8:49 PM

I highly recommend listening to this while driving around Los Angeles at night!

Best soundtrack ever.

thought it would be higher if I'm honest.

(yes, I got all my quotes from the ILM thread about the soundtrack)

lol @ a highly rare instance of morbs throwing shade at obama into unrelated film commentary

I like Blade Runner but I don't like this top 20 so far

i like apocalypse now well enough but definitely didnt think its 2021 rep was such that it would crack the top 20 here

Whoa totally forgot Harrison Ford was in Apocalypse Now. What a hottie!

oh, that's who that is!

A hottie bo bottie even!

I don't get this one in any of its forms except the most recent one that was as okay as the recent Dune

14. GOODFELLAS (Martin Scorsese, 1990, USA) [1,138.4 points; 20 votes; Morbs silver]
S&S: 103 | TSPDT: 68 | BOXD: 20

MORBS SEZ: "It's a movie that shows how a subculture works, so I love it for the same big reason I love Paris Is Burning."

Is GOODFELLAS your favorite movie of all time?

Some other movie 135
GoodFellas 21

Dudes having their favorite movie be GoodFellas seems like the most unrare thing in the world.

It's a good movie, but Godfather >>>>>> Goodfellas.
― also *free* online sex personals - got any links? (libcrypt), Friday, February 13, 2009 9:53 PM

i dont know if it's my favourite, but it's probably. i mean, definitely up there. and better than either godfather imo. i've never seen a movie where every scene, every moment, stuck to the inside of my brain like glue.
― s1ocki, Friday, February 13, 2009 11:28 PM

Goodfellas does not contain the following: prescient commentary on society, post-apocalyptic scenarios, giant animals attacking people, basis in historical fact, absurdist musical numbers, Udo Kier, demonic children, zombies, cannibals, Nazis, nuclear radiation, Klaus Kinski, or Christian Bale.
― what happened? I'm confused. (sarahel), Friday, March 13, 2009 3:26 AM

i like goodfellas, but it's not weird/geeky enough to be a favorite (no outerspace monsters, no "artistic" pornography, no creepy dream sequences, no all-dwarf casting, no animation, no nine-minute static shots, no relentless zombie holocaust, no klaus kinski, no homemade WTF charm, no fourth wall in tatters, no pretentious art nonsense, etc.)
― contenderizer, Tuesday, February 17, 2009 1:06 PM

BEST. MOVIE. EVER.

YES
― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, August 18, 2004 8:08 PM

"Goodfellas" is indeed a fucking masterpiece, it's true...but it's still all about "After Hours". Stop living in denial.
― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, August 18, 2004 9:12 PM

Alex, you know, I normally agree with you, except for about the Greenpeace people, but you are so wrong right now.

― Monetizing Eyeballs (diamond), Wednesday, August 18, 2004 9:33 PM

man, this sucks

this run that is, this one is better than the last three at least

Not gonna front, today is filled with a lot of IMDB fanboy faves that I'm just glad didn't make it into the top 10.

Apocalypse is weirder and more interesting to me than Blade, GoodFellas and Lebowski, but guilt by association etc.

Maybe it's leftover election day vibes, but there's an insurmountable GoodFellas/Blade Runner/Strangelove/Apocalypse Now bloc that's not going anywhere, ever.

citizen kane is very beautiful and spins around your head

yah

Yeah it's interesting how Kane stands out among this dreck

https://i.gifer.com/Jd17.gif

what makes Goodfellas dreck

Is everyone who voted for these too shy to defend them against this wave of disdain?

Not my pick, and I agree the last few picks are IMDB-worthy, but it's Scorsese's best after The Age of Innocence.

mercy! has Blade broke the top 20 as well?

this movie rules, but casino is even better.
― amateur!!st (amateurist),

I agree.

+1

Is everyone who voted for these too shy to defend them against this wave of disdain?

of the ones that suck, i had apocalypse now, goodfellas, jurassic park in my top 25. does empire strikes back suck? that one too. i also had the big lebowski in my honorable mentions, and blade runner. does blade runner suck?

i already defended them, but since there was no way to defend the cinematic value of apocalypse now (it has absolutely zero), i was forced to make an indirect defense in which i attacked the whole act of caring about this in the first place. the last resort of a big fucking loser, in other words.

i don't know, most of the reason people don't vote in polls is because they're normcore and they don't want to deal with people whining about how their picks degraded the whole ballot and made it boring. but that's just what the world is, and since my life is now a linkin park lyric i just voted anyway

Well, to be clear, the reason these movies are so high is because they DID vote in polls, regardless of the brickabats.
