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.

comment folks underneath the feature seem most perturbed by the lack of Drive, although i bloody loathed it so no harm done.

wish i liked uncle boonmee more. or that syndromes & a century had been released a little later.

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.

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.

Thought I'd have to wait a decade from release to see Scott Pilgrim attract hate flack for being overrated!! Too soon for the backlash, but it's going to survive. Holds up nicely as a kid-touchstone movie, as its many repeats in my kid-filled living room attest (I have ended up seeing most of this a lot....anyway it gives me pleasure to tell all the mostly-younger-than-me people posting here that YOU ARE TOO OLD FOR THIS MOVIE. ha ha ha). Anyway, haven't seen most of these so won't vote, but for me
1 - would pick "Dish and the Spoon" not "Frances Ha" (Greta Gerwig substitution)2 - would pick "Resurrect Dead - The Toynbee Tiles" not "Exit Through The Gift Shop" (concept/unreliable narrator art documentary substitution)
Finally two notes1 - "Gravity" will obviously last because it's a formal triumph and that never dies.2 - "Toy Story 3" is ghastly, how in the world...?

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.
― Vic Perry, Friday, 6 February 2015 21:10 (nine years ago) link
You will no doubt also love some of these other recent "frightening" young adult dystopias like The Maze Runner & The Giver yeah?
― xelab, Friday, 6 February 2015 23:56 (nine years ago) link
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.

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.

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