Delayed Due To Projection Issues - the 2017 ILX Film Poll Results Thread

Well made, not that well thought out.

And yeah, the quotes are great, lol.

Detroit shook me right up. That and The Levelling the only two I've voted for so far.

Oh, and Western, of course.

what we're gonna do right here is go back

40= Toni Erdmann
w/d: Maren Ade
49 points, 2 votes 1 #1

Placed at #1 in 2016, with 18 votes, 475 points, and 2 #1 votes.

I really need to give it another shot because I do think it has enough going for it that it deserves as much but after all the rapturous acclaim, I found this movie kind of a letdown. Humor-wise, I didn't find it all that funny beside those two scenes (Whitney and nudity), but that being said, those two scenes are the funniest scenes I've seen in movies in years.

Just realised that all three I've voted for so far are directed by women and I would have probably voted for Toni Erdmann too if it wasn't so old.

The mixed reaction to Detroit is kind of interesting.

Get Out was a horror movie about social commentary; Detroit was the inverse, a social commentary movie shot like a horror movie. I liked em both

It is probably some posters I like who has voted for Erdmann again, but don't do this ffs!

well not again, but for a previous winner.

^ bad opinion

maybe the best film of the decade so i won't begrudge it

p sure unfriended was in my top-5 last yr

Unfriended was 2014 festivals, theatrical 2015. the Channel 4 all-takes-place-in-laptops film Cyberbully w/ Maisie Williams off of the telly was also 2015.

I hope there’s a Fred B quote for every movie.

Some good ones so far

you've been pulled for one placing tomorrow

Back in the PST morning / NYC afternoon / Britishes evening for #39-20 or so.

sure you guys like anybody who doesnt know what year it is

Glad I was able to sneak a quote into this poll in lieu of not submitting a ballot. Tried to compile one but The Last Jedi made my top ten and I realized I saw way too many good-not-great movies

sure you guys like anybody who doesnt know what year it is

^ not going to vote for the bear film until a 2018 poll

voting for bear film again next year. and year after that. we all need a bit of bear film to lighten up our lifes.

Can't vote again for Bear film if the world ends this year.

Vote for bear film, save the world

Tried to compile one but The Last Jedi made my top ten and I realized I saw way too many good-not-great movies

There's always one post like this - please vote next year, ILX needs you to push the waves of ILF back.

In other news, this is a long list of things that are not better than Thor: Ragnarok.

I voted for the thunder god movie. It isn't better than Western or Toni Erdmann.

It's not, no. I would probably put it on my top 50.

lol relax nerd, this poll won’t affect the rotten tomato score

Vinnie is correct. I only saw about 55 eligible releases from last year, and when I drew up a rough list of 25, The Last Jedi got one of the last spots. I said, "OK, obviously I need to cut it off at 20."

Good mourning!

so is the bear movie God's Own Country?

They are all the bear movie

you guys and your injokes

"ragnarok" is the sound i make when i'm tryin to cough something up btw

speaking of snobby-ass highbrow shit about aging and death by long-time auteurs that ppl voted higher than Thor: Ragnarok

39. Logan
d: James Mangold w: James Mangold, Michael Green & Scott Frank
51 points, 5 votes

Logan taken me by surprise, it was quite stirring at points and seeing an adorable little girl brutally murder adults was thrilling. But somehow I can't say I liked it or recommend it that much.

― Robert Adam Gilmour, 28 November 2017

not a terrible movie but not a good one

the idea of Logan is hilarious.

like I have no idea how or why it exists, but someone was like "what if we made a children's movie ... for adults" and they did it. I know it's not the same, but it's almost like making a billion dollar version of a deviantart drawing where woody and buzz lightyear fuck or something

like making a billion dollar version of a deviantart drawing where woody and buzz lightyear fuck or something

This is pretty much the future of cinema.

"logan" oddly reminiscent of "children of men" in a lot of ways

38. Free Fire
d: Ben Wheatley w: Amy Jump & Ben Wheatley
53 points, 4 votes

Free Fire being talked about anywhere? Just watched it, I actually found the first act more intresting than the fire fight, which tested my patience. Appreciated it as an exercise, but I don't think they really pulled it off. Some good lines though.

― chap, Thursday, 17 August 2017

i'm with chap

a concept so uninteresting i might never watch another Wheatley film again

Huh

This was alright, far from their best

cheers for turning into Edgar Wright tho, we really needed two of them

This was great fun. Score ANOTHER to ILX's Charlton massive

This wasn't Edgar Wright, it was Martin McDonagh, and better than most of his stuff

Logan, Ragnarok – I saw them, didn't get the praise, they ran like overlong MU films

living in a world of MU films you're bound to ascribe a bit of gravitas to the extra-long po-faced ones

i guess the genre chaff will continue most of today
