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

Lost Highway got my vote too

Now would be the time for your joek #1s btw.

Calling it: lost world #1

Oh cool, we all longlisted Southland Tales

The Boatniks, or GTFO!

calling it now: tokyo story and vertigo. 2001 shut out

There are ppl that when grasping for an example of excellence reach for maggie may?

What a world

Gone with the Wind, Fight Club. FIN.

Kung fu hustle

Twice

2010: The Year We Make Contact

Wild Wild West hasn't placed yet

Kill Bill 2
Kill Bill 1

It's right in the titles!

The Glitterball

*pops popcorn*

Norm MacDonald got a lot of live on ILX when he died. Have to assume one of the remaining two is Dirty Work

And if my long list had anything to say about it, the other should be Wayne’s World

Crash (2004)
Dances with Wolves

2. Mulholland Falls
1. Mr. Holland's Opus

I was about to suggest what devvvine just did.

All the joke #1s will be different films, but the same joke.

OK Computer and Space Jam OST

1. The Joke
2. The Joker

Insane Clown Posse

If we stop posting jokes will Eric post the results?

Digby, the Biggest Dog in the World

Another illustration of what I was trying to get at above: the difference between Boogie Nights and Phantom Thread. I love the former and was left cold by the latter; someone else, entirely the reverse. But either way, the difference between them is stark.

gosh this is exciting

post the #2 and #1 separately!

La La Land

Daddy Day Camp

the difference between Boogie Nights and Phantom Thread. I love the former and was left cold by the latter; someone else, entirely the reverse.

Jumanji

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGYaYFv89MM

Watched Jumanji (5/10) and La La Land (7/10) recently, both for the first time.

that's a slightly generous 5 tbf lol

La La Land

But actually Moonlight

xp yeah bit generous it's true

haven't seen moonlight yet

Moonlight starts off very good and degenerates into standard mush

especially if by "mush" you mean the food served in that Miami diner

Green Book

Moonlight starts off very good and degenerates into standard mush

How many best picture winners are in the 100, in fact?

The Many Saints of Newark (which reminds me a lot of Green Book)

xp just godfather and the apartment i think

02. VERTIGO (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958, USA) [2,095.7 points; 28 votes; Morbs gold]
S&S: 1 | TSPDT: 2 | BOXD: 167

MORBS SEZ: "Scottie manages to seal his doom by being a staunch empiricist in the first half and a deranged romantic in the second. Balance is important, one step at a time." (Slant review.)

how do i stop feeling like i'm on a boat? (without seeing a doctor) O_o There is also documented evidence that Genital Warts can cause it.[citation needed]

Not in my top five Hitchcock.

Plays well projected on the walls of gay bars, tho maybe not quite as good as Sabotage.

I keep thinking about this today. It's impossible coming to such a revered film (a film that comes at you out of a bathroom, cloaked in neon mist) - such that I already want to watch it again, now that I've got the first watch out of the way. The thing that keeps coming to me is James Stewart's eyes - how much acting he does with them. There is a moment in Ernie's, the first time he sees Judyline, when a look almost passes between them, that is all eyes: after the fact it's clear that he'd fallen for her, and she was trying to tell him (tell might be too strong a verb - suggest, insinuate). As a couple of people have said, I want to eat in Ernies. All that red though - like a restaurant in the Tanz dance academy.

More vital and fascinating than any other Hitchcock maybe because it's the one where he seems least in control of the ideas.
― ryan, Wednesday, August 1, 2012 9:22 PM

nobody's in charge of the ideas in Suspicion

yet Cary Grant can be in charge of my ideas

I love any Hitchcock poll that doesn't put Vertigo on top.

Vertigo is one of the few films that does actually get better with every viewing.

S&S: 4 | TSPDT: 3 | BOXD: 58

mine:
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2. Vertigo
3. Sherlock, Jr.
4. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
5. Citizen Kane

I saw in on the big screen on acid once (in high school) and it's really, really fucking good, especially when they make that planet.
― andy --, Wednesday, November 30, 2005 11:57 AM

Saw it again for the first time in more than a decade, still unmoved.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, August 8, 2018 9:22 AM

i have never seen this on a big screen. i liked it in college. these days i have gone back to preferring 'full metal jacket', and i think i'm right.

"emotional balls"
― zchyrs, Monday, April 30, 2018 12:57 PM

One does have to admit that Titanic really brings the emotional sack

You don't need to get stoned. I saw it stone cold sober on the big screen and it remains one of the greatest works of art I will ever witness

Judging from the film ballots, you've all seen it on small black-and-white TVs.
