The (Now-Overrated) ILX Top 100 Films of the 2000s Poll Results

I liked Marie Antoinette! And I think it had a lot more interesting characters.

things I liked about the film:
- general premise, the exploration of dying through this particular character
- most of the visuals
- the first person nature
- some of the speculative narrative bits, including remembrances in different contexts

things I disliked:
- overused flyover ambiance that I thought would play better when I saw a HD version but still looked fuzzy and indistinct
- flat characters
- overstylizing in supposedly unstyled scenes. understylizing in scenes that were supposed to be highly stylized
- repetition of themes as DO YOU SEE-style revelations. if he said to his sister one more time that he'd never leave her, or if that truck ran into a car one more time...
- crazy sex, death, and birth themes just to make a point that this movie is about ~life~

Meh. I was told the credit sequence and wasn't really impressed by THOSE...

I don't have time to make it thru the whole thread right now; did Mysterious Skin make it?

No, unless I scrolled past it in the screencaps thread.

It's a shame. Damn shame.

I still liked this list though.

Xxp LOL my above post was supposed to read "...the credit sequnce was the best part and wasn't really etc etc"

Hype Williams would disagree with you there.

never understood when ppl say they dont like a film as the characters were unlikeable. that doesnt mean its a bad film! everyone in the last fast and furious was more worthy of contempt than this lot. and in a mainstream film i expect them, in fact i think they SHOULD be likeable, in a film like enter the void, its a bit more permissable for them to be morally questionable

whoa, dont drag fast five into this. those were some cool lovable bros and broettes

i know no one likes the cinema vs dvd argument (or do they?) but ETV really is a film i think that works so much better in the cinema than at home. i cant imagine watching it at home actually and dont want to in case it spoils my memory of it. and the length is a bit much, but its part of the appeal for me, making it purposely difficult/annoying.

worst film of the 00s is miranda julys me you and everyone we know.

too bad Midnight in Paris couldn't qualify for worst.

i like MIP

its bad woody allen, but even bad woody allen is still woody allen so...

Bad Woody is unwatchable!

you ppl need to see some actual BAD fucking movies

even uninspired, autopilot woody allen isnt actually that bad. plus owen wilson is actually the perfect actor for his films. they should def work together more.

you ppl need to see some actual BAD fucking movies

― Dr Morbois de Bologne (Dr Morbius),

I watch almost as many as you do, old man.

i wonder what al thinks of midnight in paris

This, to my knowledge, is the worst film of the 2000s:

http://slantmagazine.com/film/review/tony-n-tinas-wedding/3256

lol They made that into a movie? With Joey McIntyre? HA!

ahahaha

Upon its release, Slant Magazine gave the film ("no stars"), calling it a "relentlessly unfunny detonation" of the play, and a "tin-eared disaster" featuring "profanity delivered at a Mamet-like rate."[9]

Despite the eventual appearance of fire, the fatal car accident from Robert Altman's A Wedding is regrettably not expanded into a 20-car pileup here.

Much less amusing than any wedding, bris, or autopsy you've ever attended

couldnt have been that bad, if you had this much fun panning it

Yes, I had all the fun after.

loool Morbs OTM

Think this is the worst movie I saw in the 00s.

after the shattering, unprecedented success of two previous polls i ran (this one and Movies That Were Probably Made By a Spasm of Six Year-Olds on Acid: The Top 75 Action Films Poll Results Thread) i was thinking (maybe) of running a 2011-2015 poll, maybe in a couple of months when folks have had a chance to catch up on tail-end 2015 films. and also for the dust to settle and the survivors to recover from the ILM 2015 tracks and albums poll.

also, i would demand the return of s1ocki, cankles, & eric h to at least submit a ballot.

only if there's enough interest from potential voters.

I'll vote in that.

i think you mean 2010-2015

I vote to wait four years

But then how could we compare the ever-changing tastes of both ILX and Popular Opinion in 5 years' time?

I think you mean 2010-2019.

I'll vote

2100-2910

Morbs pleading with us all to do this here last week:

best films of 2010-2019

Certainly vote.

Uh, that is a tough list to make! I'll begin the mandatory hype of Tsai Ming-liang right away, though.

Hey, if anyone else is on Letterboxd, I compiled this best-of list into a top 100 on the Letterboxd site... I've seen 47 of these and I still need to see many others. By the way, feel free to add/follow/friend me on Letterboxd if that's your thing.

https://boxd.it/2bIZ4

only one more year to go til the 2010s poll, start compiling those lists now. Morbs, I'm looking at you. Alfred, I know you're on it. Eric, looking forward to yours. s1ocki, come back.

Still shocked In the Mood for Love missed the top 10.

up to 87/100

i have come to hate lists

I "liked" that list and all the other countdowns, cheers! I refrained from voting (or posting) in any of these as I felt I hadn't seen enough movies, so letterboxd is a good way to track what I need to catch up on. My % viewed increases steadily by decade, from just 8% of the 40s list to 77/100 in this one.

the only disappointing thing about this poll so far was omar's decision to not use a helicopter shot of nighttime miami for the 'miami vice' blurb -- i think the screen cap he used is actually from 'austin powers' >:(

i liked my action films poll screencap for this film better tbqf.

Mulholland Drive, Caché, Synecdoche, Tropical Malady and Inland Empire are 5 of my favorites from this list, but right now I think I love In the Mood for Love more than all of them

Were the brackets for this 2000-2009? I also thought Russian Ark, The White Ribbon, The Death of Mr. Lazarescu, 35 Shots of Rum, Platform, 4 Months 3 Weeks and 2 Days, Werckmeister Harmonies, Colossal Youth, La Ciénaga and Silent Light from that time period were all incredible. Haven’t seen Yi Yi or Eternal Sunshine in a long while. Never saw Tie Xi Qu: West of the Tracks

I see that hardly any of those figured in the ilx list

love all 3 of the Lucrecia Martel films from the 2000s - La Ciénaga, The Holy Girl, and The Headless Woman

not the ideal way to watch it but tie xi qu: west of the tracks is on youtube
