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

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.

nobody's in charge of the ideas in Suspicion

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

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.

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.

i watched it with joel coens dick in my mouth and ethan coens in my ass
― oooh, Wednesday, November 30, 2005 11:47 AM

waht

Good!

vertigo >>>>>>

booo

correct winner, cheers everybody

and yes, i did see it on the big screen. WITH AN INTERMISSION. like hamlet or something

Vertigo I expected.

You people don't deserve the Bunueloni.

Practically tied btw.

Thanks for running this, Eric. Can’t believe it’s over.

Did Morb-weighting swing it?

That is exceptionally close...support for 2001 more passionate (fewer votes, more #1s).

Coincidentally also the top 2 in the 2022 Sight and Sound poll

2099.1 points, a tabulation odyssey.

Did Morb-weighting swing it?

Not so far as #1 and #2 are concerned. Both got tier-one points from him.

Don't blame me, I voted for about 8 Bunuels lol

I've just made the sad discovery that I also longvoted for The Big Lebowski. So much for my pique about its placement, lol. (I mean...it is fun)

Thanks Eric! time to work out what I have on my watching list, not the top two for a start, think I had both in my bonus section.

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2. Vertigo
3. Sherlock, Jr.
4. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
5. Citizen Kane
― Dr Morbius, Friday, July 13, 2007 9:29 AM

I was surprised to run across this long-ago-posted list from Morbs because I didn't actually realize he had any official top 5 designations anywhere.

I don't recall ever seeing 2001 in the #1 slot on an all-time poll. Even after 50+ years it still seems pretty ballsy.

I was not at all surprised that Late Spring was much more popular than Tokyo Story either.
