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

Children of Men would have made my top 20 if I had submitted a ballot. It grows in my estimation every time I watch it. It's not perfect but fuck perfection. I can't understand how it was even made nor can I understand how the man that made it made it since everything else he's made is either boring, nothing or bad.

All About Eve should have cracked the bottom 50. but pointless malingering aside The Lady Eve is not one I've seen and it looks good.

Woody Allen...well you can't tell me it isn't possible?!

Trevor Howard looks so fucking cool in that leather coat you could briefly believe that the Brits are the good nazis

just like a cop— you’re a real cop, i suppose.

From 6 of clemenza’s 7 above (minus Zodiac), add The Shining, Tokyo Story, Stalker, and either another Godard or Jaws.

All About Eve should have cracked the bottom 50.

Done up in little ribbons. I could die right now and nobody'd be confused.

yeah, I was expecting that to place

There's something (not) on this list to disappoint everybody!

yes! I was thinking the absence of any of the many great Italian films (except for The Good, the Bad & the Ugly which only partly counts) on this list is strange

Just remembered one of mine that hasn’t been mentioned at all: Robocop.

Stalker--forgot about that, yes.

one of my least favorite Tarkovsky films

I will have to rewatch it, but as a science fiction film I don’t think it has any of the visual or auditory beauty, or is as interesting a story, or has the metaphysical quality - of 2001, which we got to experience 11 years earlier

a funny thing about the big lebowski is that it’s a period film about 1991 that came out in 1998

worried that my #1 won't make it but I guess it could still be there

Night of the Hunter still might make it, I guess.

Stalker is great and I'll be glad if it places but I'm guessing at this point my fave Andrei Rublev doesn't show up at all. It is an unjust world.

Surprised to see John Waters get shut out too.

oh man, Stalker is #7 on my ballot, which probably means it's horrible

re: andrei rublev

last night i met my new neighbor, who was about my mom's age. we were talking out on the porch, about 45 degrees. she mentioned that she was an artist. i took her card and it mentioned sculpting, so i asked about that. she said that she was very inspired by Rublev, and I told her I was more familiar with Rublev from the film than his actual work. She had never heard of Tarkovsky or the film. then she started talking about how she wasn't vaccinated because it prevents men from having children. Then I told her my dad died of Covid and that he was a complete fucking moron, and that my mom wasn't vaccinated. She said that my mom was right to not be vaccinated still.

in conclusion, some incredibly dumb people are inspired by andrei rublev

A lot of worry on this thread. I think it's been fun. And the results are more than honorable. I like if not love if not adore almost every title that's placed. In fact, there's only one film here I actively loathe (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and its placement makes perfect sense. I suppose Jurassic Park's appearance is mildly odd. But I imagine it would've hit me harder were I born in the mid-1980s with a Happy Meal awaiting me after the screening. Refreshing, if baffling, to encounter so many Playtime haters too.

And the results are more than honorable.

as a film idiot, comparing it to other all-time lists, the ilx list seems much, much, better.

but what do i know. the real answer is that everything is fucking horrible and has never been worse

what was the clip above? about people being horrible?

people are fucking horrible

I think a lot about this is when the majority of ilxors were born

which is not bad. I voted for the films I loved as a child

Me too, and I won't feel bad at all if Raiders is in the top 10.

I loved Stalker as a child. But I moved on and voted for other things.

Its a really good list so far, just about right id say

xpost Haha!

Even as a child, I knew there was something wrong with Star Wars (the 1977 original) but wasn't adept enough to articulate it. Now, blech! Still, my favorite toy ever was the Death Star. Check out this sucker. Note the trash compactor monster which you can see better here than in the film.

dont forget that cuarón hates autistic ppl

anyway i have disowned this list

I was pissed I didn't get the Millennium Falcon. But that Death Star was hours of entertainment, way more durable than the film, natch.

xpost Why? What's wrong with it?

I'm not letting disappointments in this list get in the way

"Dis-ah-ppointment, that is!"

:)

It'd be cool if there were porn versions of art films: Once Upon a Time in Assholia or Celine and Julie Go Motor Boating.
