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)?

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

The reason I enjoy (most) ILX film threads.

10. THE SHINING (Stanley Kubrick, 1980, UK) [1,284.77 points; 22 votes]
S&S: 120 | TSPDT: 84 | BOXD: 81

MORBS SEZ: "I'm trying to think if any other Great Director's Worst Film has inspired such slavish devotion..."

Do people just not count Fear and Desire when making statements like that?
― temporarily embarrassed thousandaire (Eric H.), Monday, November 25, 2019 4:05 PM

the shining is ace.
― ethan, Sunday, August 5, 2001 7:00 PM

The Shining sucks, it's not even scary.
― Ally, Sunday, August 5, 2001 7:00 PM

we were watching this tnite for halloween and it's amazing how fresh + relevant it feels today maybe more than ever
― Mordy, Wednesday, October 31, 2018 11:55 PM

especially wild when you recall how reviled it was on release
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Wednesday, October 31, 2018 11:57 PM

I'd remix this movie by using it as kindling
― El Tomboto, Monday, November 26, 2007 2:18 PM

It's about Stanley Kubrick being a pretentious twerp, and Jack Nicholson & Shelley Duvall over-acting. Scatman Crothers, though, saves this flick from COMPLETE uselessness.
― David Raposa, Sunday, August 5, 2001 7:00 PM

duvall should get some kind of special endurance award. i feel like it's her and not jack who makes things like the bat scene insanely upsetting and scary instead of just loljack.
― difficult listening hour, Wednesday, October 31, 2012 6:58 PM

If anybody here could provide me with information regarding the paintings/posters of nude women with afros on Scatman Crothers' character Dick Hallorann's walls, I would greatly appreciate it. Extensive Googling has turned up nil so far.
― Stuart, Wednesday, January 29, 2003 4:47 PM

if nobody ever posted anything about stanley kubrick on the internet ever again, i wouldnt mind

(Not a Morbs medalist, to say the least.)

*leaves room to die in global forest fire*

it is scary for an hour, and then it gets rapidly less scary, and then the ending is wack

we have officially annoyed morbs as much as possible by placing the shining and alien

yeah we're not getting Bunuel are we

starting to fear for Renoir as well at this point
