I'd agree with that on both counts.

so Margaret is good then? how come it took so long to be released? looked .. intense from the trailer.

lengthy articles have addressed that topic.

Its cult rivals any film's.
― Eric H., Thursday, 5 February 2015 19:42 (nine years ago) link
2 of the producers died during the making which didn't help.
Hulk wrote some good things about it here: http://badassdigest.com/2012/02/16/film-crit-hulk-smash-22-short-thoughts-about-margaret/

Only one on the list that pisses me off is Marcy Martha etc. junk. Couple of other ones seem like dumb filler (toy story 3 in particular)

semi-surprising no Argo or Lincoln, too grown up for this cru maybe, not that id really rep much for either
also there'er far too few documentaries
ive somehow seen 37, tho not yet amour or boyhood
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 5 February 2015 21:14 (nine years ago) link
far too few documentaries and yet exit thru the gift shop
― harperlee jot shilly (wins), Thursday, 5 February 2015 21:16 (nine years ago) link
Anything to do with Banksy needs incinerating, but yeah so many good docs in the last five years.

I still get annoyed when I think of the ending of Meek's Cutoff.
― Chris L, Thursday, 5 February 2015 21:32 (nine years ago) link
have only seen about 10 of these tbh, but would probably go for under the skin.

Still championing Zero Dark Thirty as great must be more out of stubbornness at this point
― Chris L, Thursday, 5 February 2015 21:38 (nine years ago) link
Better than Argo at any rate.
― Eric H., Thursday, 5 February 2015 21:41 (nine years ago) link
reluctantly agree. similar lies, worse craft, just a tad less odious in political context.

Suspect "Boyhood" will be the Moby's "Play" of movies.

By which I assume you mean "the superlative cultural artifact of its decade".
― Brodozer Coke Buffet (Old Lunch), Thursday, 5 February 2015 21:57 (nine years ago) link
Argo has a fatal smugness about it as well as all the bullshit, like the level of self satisfaction you get in the worst George Clooney movies/performances multiplied a couple of times.
― xelab, Thursday, 5 February 2015 22:00 (nine years ago) link
Suspect you're right. #1 ranking is ludicrous.

xp Tho, hey, better that than Social Network.
for sure, pretentious TV on the big screen. one great scene: the regatta.

top 3 are far more regrettable/incomprehensible than the list overall

short term 12 had the potential to be good but ended up awful. no idea why its on here.

my top 10 -
Holy MotorsUncle BoonmeeMargaretThe Social NetworkA Seperation12 Years A SlaveThe Wolf of Wall StreetCertified CopyToy Story 3Goodbye to Language
― StillAdvance, Thursday, 5 February 2015 23:14 (nine years ago) link
Voted Uncle Boonmee. Since Stray Dogs isn't on there, that seems the obvious choice. With two Iranian directors in the top five, I can't really attack it too much for americo-centrism. Annoyingly.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 5 February 2015 23:23 (nine years ago) link
comment folks underneath the feature seem most perturbed by the lack of Drive, although i bloody loathed it so no harm done.
― piscesx, Thursday, 5 February 2015 23:25 (nine years ago) link
wish i liked uncle boonmee more. or that syndromes & a century had been released a little later.
― A Severus of Snapes (contenderizer), Thursday, 5 February 2015 23:27 (nine years ago) link
margaret -- one of my favorites of any half-decade
boyhood at 1 is a good argument for waiting 20 years before trying to build a canon
― qualx, Thursday, 5 February 2015 23:27 (nine years ago) link
the dissolve is supposed to be like a classier attempt at the av club right? av club would put out a v similar list probably

Since Stray Dogs isn't on there, that seems the obvious choice.

since i've been dying to see this for quite some time & holding out for a decent copy, thought i'd mention it's now up on netflix instant view

Glad Drive didn't make it in.
― rem remrum (dog latin), Friday, 6 February 2015 09:30 (nine years ago) link
Of the 27 I've seen I'd only cut Scott Pilgrim, Zero Dark Thirty and Holy Motors (which probably deserves to be in there but man I hated it) and push Her way down the list.
― Minaj moron (Re-Make/Re-Model), Friday, 6 February 2015 11:55 (nine years ago) link
Tree of Life. I've enjoyed the ones I've seen but they most of the ones I've seen don't belong on this list.

feel kinda dumbstruck at having choose one of these, so i just chose the one i'd be happiest to watch again right now: Inside Llewyn Davis.

― Eric H., Friday, 6 February 2015 16:18 (nine years ago) link
I'm surprised I've managed to see 14 of these, considering that since I have young kids, I basically only watch about one non-kids movie a month. (I have seen Wreck-it Ralph and Toy Story 3 multiple times. Both are better than average kids movies, I guess.)

Didn't really dislike any of these. Tempted to vote for Upstream Color for some reason.
