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

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.― clemenza, Monday, November 20, 2017

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

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.― Neanderthal, March 1, 2017

Thanks to all the voters, thanks to all the posters in this thread, thanks to everyone who's typed about these films on ILX over the last three calendar years that they've been in cinemas, and big thanks and best cheers to Gukbe.
If people who like posting their full ballots could do so here: BALLOTS: Ragnarok - ILM 2017 film poll ballot recycling , that would be helpful - full ballots make the results threads difficult to use afterwards. Please do argue here about other peoples taste, and say things like "I can't believe A Heavy Burden didn't get higher, it was my #24" in this thread though!
One big change in the results that the delay of the poll caused: a film that only showed in two cities for two weeks in 2017 moved from #2 to #1, possibly due to more people being able to see it once it was released.

That plus the pilot episode of The Boondocks. It was still great though. Phantom Thread must be doing something impressive to win out? I'm still too residually put off by Inherent Vice to have tried watching it yet.
