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.

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.
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 25 July 2018 11:00 (five years ago) link
I voted for the thunder god movie. It isn't better than Western or Toni Erdmann.
― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 25 July 2018 11:33 (five years ago) link
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
― Centipedes? In this economy? (wins), Wednesday, 25 July 2018 14:10 (five years ago) link
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."

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
― dele alli my bookmarks (darraghmac), Wednesday, 25 July 2018 16:19 (five years ago) link
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

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

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

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

This was great fun. Score ANOTHER to ILX's Charlton massive
― imago, Wednesday, 25 July 2018 16:36 (five years ago) link
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
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 25 July 2018 16:37 (five years ago) link
living in a world of MU films you're bound to ascribe a bit of gravitas to the extra-long po-faced ones

That one only premiered in 2018 in Denmark, so nobody should have been allowed to vote for it!!!

― 16, 35, DCP, Go! (sic), Wednesday, 25 July 2018 17:14 (five years ago) link
Zama (Lucretia Martel, 2017) - a very smart adaptation of a not v filmable book where Martel is bringing in her own eye to this skeleton of a story of an utterly ordinary man who cannot go back home. Shades of Apocalypse Now (without the hippie-dom) and Coup de Torchon but its very much its own thing.― xyzzzz__, 31 May 2018

Fucking loved this, will rank it very highly next year
― jeremy cmbyn (wins), Wednesday, 25 July 2018 17:15 (five years ago) link
Saw it at the NYFF last year, gave it a 7/10. Did not open in the US til this spring, so I did not list it.
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 25 July 2018 17:16 (five years ago) link
I loved this loads, only just saw it the other night.
― calzino, Wednesday, 25 July 2018 17:17 (five years ago) link
Zama is often inscrutable but beguilingly so.

― dele alli my bookmarks (darraghmac), Wednesday, 25 July 2018 17:29 (five years ago) link
In a perfect world Zama is a good 50 places ahead of Free Fire. Potentially Wheatley's most underperforming film given the resources.

God, this Country's toxic now. I had this feeling watching God's Own Country last night which is excellent and very much worth seeing. It's about Brexit and gay sex, so, something for everyone. ― jed_, 6 September 2017
