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

Damn even Armond White liked this

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

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

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

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.

w/d: Jordan Peele

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

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

Cyril!

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.

yes, thanks to all, best wishes to gukbe, and special thanks to sic *approaches sic for a handshake* *palms green slime from pocket* *leaves loads of green slime on sic's hand*

good to see the best film of the year win, thanks sic and gukbe!

aww sic <3

get out indeed what a windbag set of movies

Phantom thread rules

it was v similar to the plot of that shit movie The Skeleton Key

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.

thanks sic and to hell with rest of ye

Thanks gukbe and sic! This was rollout was excellent

Inherent vice rules

inherent vice the movie of the last decade

fuck movies
― Dr Morbius, March 9, 2017

LOL

I liked the roaming incoherentness of it, but that's about all. But generally I'm on board, so I'm sure this is fine. xps

get out indeed what a windbag set of movies

Phantom Thread is a whisper, dude.

there's nothing bloodless or bloviating or dull about Phantom Thread

If only more people could appreciate American superhero comic shite, the world would be so much better.

I would have been happy with that 1-2 in either order, glad they were close in points.

this is such a trite morbsian false dichotomy, but even so, to engage it as if it were in fact the thrust of the matter: the disregard for whether a movie was a well or badly executed effort of or against its obvious genre classification in order to lobby for the right *type* of movie is a large element of these results

tactical voting is of course the other disgrace. amazing thing for an adult to be doing in ths context.

for an ILE poll on ILF subject matter, its all very ILM

how do you define tactical voting?
