thedissolve.com top 50 films of 2010-14

Including Scott Pilgrim in the top 30 tells you pretty much everything you need to know.

white guys in bathrobes?

Great year for films. Went with Gravity, with Whiplash a close second.

oh wait, this is 2010-2014. i thought some of these looked old.

dogtooth was very good, i thought.

ha I've only seen 6 of these; apparently I've completely lost interest in movies

50 Gravity
49 Wreck-It Ralph
45 Guardians of the Galaxy
39 Bridesmaids
30 Scott Pilgrim vs the World
8 The Grand Budapest Hotel

This list is dogshit

Margaret almost certainly my favourite film here yeah, tho ranking Certified Copy beneath most of those is mind-boggling to me :O

It's bottom to top!

I've actually seen 10 of them, though 2 were in the last few weeks and I've plans to see 5 more - I've seen a Leviathan, but they probably mean the Russian rather than the fish.

Always here to drink in the tears of Scott Pilgrim Haters, always delicious.

Also The Dissolve = the old AV Club kids.

Can't even name 50 movies without including a talking CGI raccoon

It's true, they really only review 10 a year, this is it.

Looks heavily weighted towards Amurrican movies

Guardians of the Galaxy seems like the title most likely to drop off these lists by the decade's end.

I'm not really a Scott Pilgrim hater but its presence is a handy barometer of whimsical indie bullshit, and the top 10 makes sense in that regard.

sex bob-omb hahaha it's like the flipper song and the mario enemy did we successfully pander to our audience yet, love michael cera

at this point I'm assuming Whiney has everyone else killfilled and every submitted post is sending a quick shock to the electrodes on his nuts

Margaret just ahead of The Turin Horse and Certified Copy.

Only 8&9 really fit that description though? xp

In fairness Whiney has no way to know that indie bands often name themselves after stupid jokes.

Her

fucking worst goddam fucking worst movie. destroy this list now.

liked these a lot, so i guess it works out:

Wreck-It Ralph
Upstream Color
Amour
Scott Pilgrim vs the World
Dogtooth
Exit Through the Gift Shop
Winter's Bone
Moonrise Kingdom
The Tree of Life
Holy Motors
Under the Skin

favorites would be Holy Motors, Amour and Exit Through the Gift Shop, in that order. still dragging my heels on Turin Horse and Certified Copy, no idea why :(

Coherence is a low budget time travel anomaly movie in the vein of Primer or Timecrimes. I didn't realise it was a listicle type movie, it was pretty damn good but seems a bit incongruous on this type of list.

I honestly do not know but this list is really p bad

Really? I liked every film on this list.

Scott Pilgrim is solid, but hasn't aged too well imo in the short time since it came out

Re-watched this last week and enjoyed it! But I can't imagine anybody uncovering it in 10+ years and enjoying it.

at this point I'm assuming Whiney has everyone else killfilled and every submitted post is sending a quick shock to the electrodes on his nuts

otm

Turin Horse
Certified Copy
A Seperation
Uncle Boonmee
Amour

Tough to choose between Scott Pilgrim and Her as the worst

Winter's Bone, Dogtooth, The Social Network are all good.

I hated both Wolf of Wall Street and Margaret (should have known I'd hate this after LJ waxed lyrical about it on it's ilx thread).

The other 20 or so I've seen are okay.

what did you hate about it

lol pands

I wouldn't say it's badly made I just didn't care about anybody in the film or believe anyone in it. Actually that's not true I found Ruffalo's character believable enough.

Always here to drink in the tears of Scott Pilgrim Her Haters, always delicious.

voted for Exit Through the Gift Shop

I scanned this list of titles on a message board

There are quite a few really excellent films here

Some I did not care for

Some are ok

The people responsible should be murdered in their sleep

lol xp

Which leviathan is this? I really liked both.

the one with the fish heads

choosing one out of any list of 50 is almost always absurd, even if ten of these wouldn't get near my top 300 of the half-decade.

Two of these are in my top 100 OAT, so one of those two.

what are your top 300 films of the half-decade so far, Dr Morbius?

the ones your mama missed.

Amour, Exit Through the Gift Shop, Before Midnight, Wolf of Wall Street all even worse than Her

I voted Take Shelter, which is my 2nd fave Jeff Nichols movie.

I seem to remember Meek's Cutoff getting rave reviews but fell asleep watching it and can't recall much about it.

I enjoyed every single movie on this list that I've seen. Which is only about ten of them.

Turin horse is the only one of these I saw twice at the cinema. However voting inherent vice as it's the film I saw most recently, an important criterion often overlooked by voters in polls

Short Term 12 is also godawful.

Would probably vote one of Dogtooth, Certified Copy, This Is Not a Film

I've never even heard of short term 12! Dogtooth is great. Alps is pretty underrated. I'm grateful to "thedissolve.com" for reminding me that I like films

Certified Copy is the title on this list that most makes me feel like Armond White.

Turin horse is the only one of these I saw twice at the cinema.

Want an award?

After years of being passed over too fuckin right I do

Certified Copy is the title on this list that most makes me feel like Armond White.

Passionate?

Incoherent in the face of something far more complex and profound than your own ability to communicate?

Oh, understandably not here: "How I Live Now" (2013) was so scarily on that it got plenty of negative reviews for a range of babyish critical excuses. Most frightening movie I've seen in years.

You will no doubt also love some of these other recent "frightening" young adult dystopias like The Maze Runner & The Giver yeah?

I have only just noticed it is Winter's Bone not Ceylan's Winter Sleep on this poll, imago's post confused me.

voted upstream color out of annoyance with We Are The Best being missing, no idea why GotG and not, I dunno, Iron Man 3 or Cap 2.

We Are the Best!

^ true

xelab, the movie I referred to is not a "young adult dystopia" or indeed any kind of dystopia. You are free not to like it but I suspect you actually have no idea what you are talking about.

"Wrong Cops" got robbed.

Meg Rosoff (born 16 Oct 1956) is an American writer based in London, ... Her young-adult novel How I Live Now was published in 2004

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I have seen exactly four of these.

Seen 24. Feel like that is rather too many than too few.

I've seen seven.

26, mostly good, some great. and her.

i've seen about 45, way too many.

like men

he does iirc

I liked Boyhood a lot, but the sui-generis aspects of its creation probably lead people to overrate it.

whereas it was ADD-induced mania that led them to overrate Her.

Wondering whether such tasteful fare such as Winter Sleep will win.

;-)

4 votes for Wreck-It Ralph seems weird but I never actually saw it so

it's massively overrated mediocredom

can't believe people voted for films itt

amateurist, see Margaret!

nah

i get a weird "american arnaud desplechin" vibe for it, and i hate arnaud desplechin. also you can count on me was boring.

that's a good analogy but the movie is okay Desplechin.

What do you hate about him?
