2010's Best Movies: 10 Years Later

The Dark Knight was really good. A clown blows up a hospital! How isn't that your idea of fun?!

Funny this has come up. Last night I watched the 2nd EP of Ricky and Morty which has a pisstake of Inception.

I think I only caught it on TV one night because people talked it up as a copy of Marienbad.

Classic r+m ep is that

I was bit shitfaced last night but still maintain cheering/whooping/hollering in a cinema (unless it's an ovation for the director and cast during a festival type context) is animal behaviour for crass exhibitionists who should be told to shut the fuck up and turfed out by their ear if they don't!

Michael Bay has made good movies as well. Jesus christ

steady on

f b very much playing up to my ignorant brit imagining on what life is like in mainstream US society, where I imagine anyone who isn't obnoxiously loud and quick to participate in predictable crowd behaviour and generally annoying loudmouthed twaterry in a cinema is branded a commie or a psychopath and shunned by the baying mob! And then brings a gun the next time!

...

Are you the new Turrican?

that is a low blow!

very rude making fun of our endless frat party here in the USA

good to see the best movies poll getting deep into the oeuvre of auteurs Bay and Nolan

My grandpa (both of us scottish) gave me the impression that cinema in his youth was treated much like pantomine. Cheer when the goodies appear, hiss and boo when the baddies appear. Sounds awful but he loved it.

Sion Sono said he wanted film audiences to be like wrestling audiences and I don't see how that would work with his films. Maybe just a provocation for its own sake.

Mixed feelings about Toy Story 3. I've never cared for the actual animation in Pixar but I think all 3 of the films are quite stirring all the same. Ken was hilarious and they really increased the morbid aspects of the toys-are-alive concept to torment children.

Toy Story 3 is my least favourite of the four, but I'm enough of a Pixar fanboy that I voted for it anyway (had the Coens' True Grit been here, it would have been a different story).

it's amazing how much the British infer from "full crowd"

I can understand people seeing similarities in tone and in narrative confusion with Inception and Marienbad, and they both had annoying scores, but Last Year at Marienbad was so much more amazing

More beautiful conceptually and visually and more mysterious.

Different leagues imo

more like Last Year at Mariengood

Yes Dan agree - Marienbad is really good, except I also really like that organ grinding score which goes along with the tone it's striking. Also shows up this earlier post as clueless:

or as this wise-guy put it at the time

I get Nolan's mania about control and architecture but the best films about dreams have a much lighter touch and a greater sense of the surreal

If by "the British" you mean one particularly excitable British person then yeah sure

^^ slept on and otm.

Voted for Certified Copy a second time.

im not voting in any of these

do u think I fucking remember how good any of them were

except Banksy deserved capital punishment

xp not sure you knew how good any of them were then

(glad to see you back tho)

not been away

Oh right, it was me who left for the last three weeks

my guess is Boonmee and Certified Copy are the winners here

ended up voting for Mysteries of Lisbon so it gets at least one vote

Bumping.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

glad all got votes. I love Boonmee more than Certified Copy but the top two here doesn’t surprise me

I like David Fincher but haven’t seen The Social Network since its opening and not sure what I would think about it now

Are there enough 1920 titles to poll?

There are two. So, I'll just include both in the comprehensive XXX0 poll.

Also, very much the correct choice here. Good job, ILX!

Good top 5

Still have to finish this one, of course: 1930's Best Movies: 90 Years Later

Banksy voter, come get yer whuppin'

Black Swan, ye gods

Find it more comforting to assume there's a bunch of joke votes
