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

awful movie.. bad work ilx.

this is another fakeout?

Cmbyn was my #6, but struggling to remember what I particularly liked about it. fgti's post seems completely otm.

fgti's post is otm if you're viewing it as a gay movie but it's a holiday movie

<3 Florida project, screenshot speaks for itself imo

frfr

even when fgti is otm in that post, he's still wrong

5. Personal Shopper
w/d: Olivier Assayas
275 points, 14 votes, 4 #1s

I would say this is minor but it's not not top-drawer. His movies offer such unique pleasures it's hard for me to be too objective about them. I savor/anticipate them so. The crowd I saw it with was terrible and didn't seem to enjoy or even "get" the movie. I would love for him to widen his scope a bit more next time. Stewart is a great muse though.

CMBYN tied in well with reading The Line Of Beauty recently too - especially that book's wonderful France segment. now there's something due a proper film treatment

I feel like this came out 3 years ago and I still haven’t seen it

there's definitely been a poll screwup btw - money is on sic basically looking at tt and i's #1 and #2 (which were the same, in opposite order) and just disqualifying them

I liked it, but 4 #1's?

Ah jeez is Jedi in the top 5

Oh wait no I think I know the top 4

Kristen's jumpers in this are a dream. Assayas does loneliness very well.

I can't imagine one person enjoying The Florida Project that much, let alone 17.

3 of the top 4 are obvious. unless PT Threaderson is 2018, in which case....???...

Florida Project is a total fakeout

surely the obvious three and the other pattinson

the other pattinson IS one of the three

loved PS

as for TFP There has been a 8th birthday party next door today, that never seemed to end. if only someone could have filmed it with oodles of class condescension and edited it into an unrelenting load of headache inducing shite that plays on single parent benefits scum cliches. sorry, but I hated it.

there's definitely been a poll screwup btw - money is on sic basically looking at tt and i's #1 and #2 (which were the same, in opposite order) and just disqualifying them

tt's votes were counted, everything above your 9 minute youtube video was disqualified on karmic grounds

personal shopper probably the high water mark for shooting people on their phones

except for maybe a bride for rip van winkle

hang on

4. Lady Bird
w/d: Greta Gerwig
295 points, 17 votes (2 #2s)

Damn even Armond White liked this

― omar little, November 20, 2017

Chalamet is resourceful enough an actor (and Gerwig gives him the space) to remind us why we found selfish dicks hot as fuck.

Saw this tonight. I liked the last third better than the first hour--which is good, I'd rather have a film end strong. Favourite two things were the scene where Lois Smith suggested love = attention, and also Lady Bird's voiceover about driving around Sacramento (and the matching shots of her and her mom behind the wheel). I'm always moved by scenes where someone gets an acceptance letter in the mail for university--think I could name a half-dozen other good ones. And proms, I guess because I didn't go my own. I kind of wish Laurie Metcalf hadn't been given a milder version of the Mary Tyler Moore role from Ordinary People. She's just so funny on Roseanne; I missed that.

my favorite screamo song of the year is the last minute or so this all-screaming version of the Lady Bird trailer

3. Good Time
d: The Safdie Brothers w: One Safdie Brother & Ron Bronstein
333 points, 20 votes, 1 #1

they were big fans of using the n word in college so this really feels like their moment

― etaeoe, 25 August 2017

they were obsessed with the wire and one of them (b4n iirc) needed to be talked out of dressing up as omar for halloween

― etaeoe, 25 August 2017

also big fans of slam poetry

― etaeoe, 25 August 2017

Dick Gregory said you shd never call it "the N word"

― Dr Morbius, 25 August 2017

First year when my picks + ILX's top ten almost line up

this managed to be kinetic, idiotic and sweet all at once. might not be great but it worked

also the end is tearjerking out of nowhere

tt's votes were counted, everything above your 9 minute youtube video was disqualified on karmic grounds

:o I'll make sure this never happens again

i am saving my big grump-out at sic for later btw but be assured it is coming

Did you guys vote for the dyson video or something

my #2, loved this

no, it's that double king thing

which wouldn't have even made the poll if sic had not disqualified the two things above it ok ok i'll stop

I voted for that lawn chairs thing

True story I got good time Berlin syndrome and Detroit from the library and I didn’t watch Detroit because I was already too tense from the other two

The only other safdie film I’ve seen is the pleasure of being robbed which also follows a charismatic sociopath who takes advantage of ppl’s better nature, but it’s nicer and less thrilling

came out of Good Time in a daze and as soon as i got on the tube a guy next to me started throwing up in his backpack, felt very on theme

lol

what's the lawn chairs thing?

I can't find it, but it was one of those endless polls about best lawn chairs from a guy's collection as displayed on Youtube. It had more charm and intrigue than many films

I am still holding out that this will be The Last Jedi rather than Phantom Thread.

2. Get Out
w/d: Jordan Peele
364 points, 23 votes, 1 #1 (and 4 #2s)

1. Phantom Thread
d: Paul Thomas Anderson w: PTA & DDL
416 points, 19 votes, 6 #1s

on Get Out:

I loved this. the comedy was great. I feel like Peele's plot developments were a bit familiar (I mean it was v similar to the plot of that shit movie The Skeleton Key which wasn't exactly original when it came out) but twists weren't the point really.
I liked the cheesy over the top horror moments like the evil latin music while Bradley Whitford was ...uhh....doing something that I won't reveal.

fuck movies

― Dr Morbius, March 9, 2017

he looks like a young pre-AA Steve Bannon

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, March 19, 2017

on Phantom Thread:

I enjoy PTA’s seemingly central concern with the relationships of emotionally stunted monomaniac weirdos

Anyway since I’m a weirdo I thought this was the most romantic thing I’ve seen since the Mad Max Fury Road blood donation scene
