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

Beach Rats was on the low side of mediocre.

I am getting the scent of Eric H on these last two...

I've had Mother out of the library on twp separate occasions, haven't watched it yet.

Sacred Deer was an entertaining provocation but I didn't vote for it.

Hated those last 2 films

lmao @ mother!

Is this the most lurkeriffic film poll yet

What’s gonna be shut out - I didn’t hate either of the last 2 but if they beat like a quiet passion that just about does it

(Whereas I know only Fred & I liked the Florida project so I’m ok with that snub)

i'm guessing fans of those last 2 saw them primarily as black comedies.

I certainly did

Javi bardem and his giant face playing a character called The Poet, esp the way he played it, cannot be meant to be taken seriously

i'm guessing fans of those last 2 saw them primarily as black comedies.

I can't imagine anyone taking them as anything but.

i would like to see this and have been told i would enjoy it

cannot believe how high a couple of films from the top of my ballot are going to be :)

Is this wrapping today or tomorrow?

15. Faces Places
d: Agnès Varda & JR (doco)
138 points, 10 votes

It's too brief and amiable to give offense, but the reviews I've read that praise her attention to the working class don't mention how touristic the approach

You don't have to love JR to like the film. I'd probably sleep with him, tho.

about right

Counterpoint to July poll advocates: this STILL hasn’t fucking shown here 😡

it's on amazon prime tho

and home video

😜

streaming on Netflix!

mother! ruled sorry if this offends

I boosted Faces Places to my top 20 on second viewing

it's on amazon prime tho

streaming on Netflix!

I just looked it up to add to my queue and the first "More Like This" suggestion was Despicable Me 3

it's deffo available in torrentland, but 95% of you lot don't seem to fuck with that format!

14. Dunkirk
w/d: Christopher Nolan
154 points, 9 votes

oh my god it's like 3 hours long
― Mordy, 4 August 2016

does chris nolan's insistence on casting tom hardy then covering most of hardy's face with a mask have a basis in sexual fetish y/n

― bizarro gazzara, 21 July 2017

Shame Bobby Gillespie has such a cameo in this but at least he dies a hero.

― Stevolende, 21 August 2017

oh ffs!

first film of Nolan's that I liked, and only after a second viewing

at least Christian Bale wasn't in it

ugh

pleased to give dunkirk the award for... *checks notes*...loudest film of 2017

Very rarely think of this film since I saw it, except for how loud it was.

I feel like this thread title should just be changed to "A list of a bunch of films that came out awhile ago"

P sure I voted for both Mother! and Sacred Deer - and yes, enjoyed as black comedies and as sidewise horror movies.

120 BPM will be high in my 2018 poll - it was on at the Glasgow Film Theatre for a week or so earlier this year, so I'm guessing it got a similar run at most major UK arthouses.

our Joel made a compelling case to me for Dunkirk being the least terrible Nolan film and not without merit. poll scores are fucking silly, obv.

13. Nocturama
w/d: Bertrand Bonello
182 points, 11 votes

I didnt dig this.
"Oooh Im so full of ennui, lets blow up a bank!"
Its up on Netflix now btw

― Michael B, 20 September 2017

way too fucking low!

had no idea Mac's mom was in Three Billboards

(still not gonna watch it)

yes, but you know no Oscar nominations xp

as per the two #1s for Billboards, "seems more like #2" (h/t Peter Falk and Neil Simon)

Every time a critically lauded film I don't like very much appears in these results I think we've got all those out of the way and then another one appears. I don't include Dunkirk in this.

rewatched Nocturama last weekend; very dumb interpretations in some corners of the media. had it #4

I loved Nocturama, it reminded me of Bresson and was sexy and cool as fuck, and was bringing down capitalism.. so much to love!

oh lol good fakeout sic
