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

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
― Dan S, Sunday, 24 May 2020 23:56 (three years ago) link
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 timeI 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― acoleuthic, Thursday, 11 November 2010 12:37 (nine years ago) bookmarkflaglink― imago, Saturday, 23 May 2020 bookmarkflaglink

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

my guess is Boonmee and Certified Copy are the winners here

― Dan S, Friday, 5 June 2020 03:04 (three years ago) link

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?
― A White, White Gay (cryptosicko), Thursday, 18 June 2020 00:58 (three years ago) link
There are two. So, I'll just include both in the comprehensive XXX0 poll.
― Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Thursday, 18 June 2020 02:34 (three years ago) link
Also, very much the correct choice here. Good job, ILX!
― Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Thursday, 18 June 2020 02:37 (three years ago) link
Good top 5
