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

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.

haha!

The 400 Blow Jobs

Fwiw dracula was the only coppola i voted for

So I guess Borat's not going to place.

Borat II will.

Fwiw dracula was the only coppola i voted for

taste!!!!

voted for Sofia Coppola

i rewatched coppola’s dracula earlier this year and it actually is pretty great. wonderfully over the top and gorgeous to look at. probably my second favorite version of dracula (the murnau nosferatu still the best).

Best Dracula film is Love At First Bite

Being “angry” at a poll is idiotic but I’m surprised by some of these assumed omissions too; I’d have said kiarostami was guaranteed to appear(and I still think varda will)

Also big lebowski prob a better film than barfly, certainly there’s not much in it

The Big Bukowski

i wanted the clip where Mickey rants about "obviousness" but i couldn't find it :D

in the Bukowski book about that movie there is a hilarious bit where he expresses his revulsion towards Tom Jones' dirty, sweaty bellybutton. Something like it's so dirty even a bird would be too offended to shit in it.

Been a while since I saw it but I enjoyed iirc rourke plays bukowski the way actors tend to play a character who is “slow”

"Turns out my instinct was right re AK so fingers crossed for varda (tho top ten would be high). fwiw I put “anger” (not disappointment) in quotes because I was quoting m/l, I know nobody takes Julio’s mithering seriously but it’s idiotic because it’s not like we all don’t know the process involved in producing this list."

The process isn't important. The results are and I can only look at that top 20 and conclude you all think "imperialism is good now" despite one Iranian film in it. Don't care what it sounds like to you or anybody else.
