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

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.

First they came for The Empire Strikes Back, and I did not say anything bc wgaf about TESB
Then they came for Goodfellas etc. etc.

Oh poop. How about this one?

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.

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.

The results are not important

The top ten can rectify the admittedly irksome middlebrowfest of yesterday, but only if certain specific things happen...

as a science fiction film I don’t think it has any of the visual or auditory beauty

I think it's quite purposefully ugly? Dystopian Soviet countryside's not supposed to look all omg it's full of stars.

It reminds me of those famous daily mail headlines which are like “NOW (x) IS BANNED” where (x) is not in fact banned. Can’t believe the ilx committee got together in a room and agreed to maliciously boot voyage to Italy from the list in order to get rear window in!

lol booming post

But it IS full of stars, that's the thing

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.

What are you gonna call it when 5 Marvel movies are in the next one and Jurassic Park and Empire Strikes Back are in the top 10. Educational?

Jurassic Park appearing where it did was way, way, way less annoying than yesterday's run imo

Tarkovksy didn’t make that horrible toxic waste dump that gave them all cancer look very appealing.

Yesterday’s run was funny

Things can be funny and annoying, just as they can be carcinogenic and beautiful

All-time lists are fundamentally silly & it makes more sense to approach it as recreation imo

Basically this. Also, yelling about dumb low-stakes stuff is a lot more fun than yelling about the world literally burning.

Also, conversely, more important

This is absolutely the point in a poll where I would be poking morbs for being ridiculous btw

At least imago didn't call out Poster A for govnaming annoying poster B. Oh wait. Yet.

Save us, Eric!

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.

What about Flaming Creatures (von Sternberg taken to an explicit extreme)?
