for a poll.

a bit like 'what are your favourite films of the decade', but more focussed on stuff that the normals haven't got wise to, eg role models, 13go30, miami vice.

Bob Six, Sunday, 15 March 2009 20:46 (sixteen years ago)

s1ocki, Sunday, 15 March 2009 20:56 (sixteen years ago)

iatee, Sunday, 15 March 2009 20:58 (sixteen years ago)

FREE DOM AND ETHAN (special guest stars mark bronson), Sunday, 15 March 2009 20:59 (sixteen years ago)

One SB to rule them all.

Last Exit to Steve Brookstein (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 15 March 2009 20:59 (sixteen years ago)

Are you talking last 10 years here or what?

Last Exit to Steve Brookstein (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 15 March 2009 20:59 (sixteen years ago)

I have no idea what you're on about, but I nominate In Bruges anyway.

ailsa, Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:03 (sixteen years ago)

i de-nominate in bruges.

s1ocki, Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:03 (sixteen years ago)

how about ronin can we put ronin in

s1ocki, Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:03 (sixteen years ago)

yes

FREE DOM AND ETHAN (special guest stars mark bronson), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:05 (sixteen years ago)

I re-nominate In Bruges.

chap, Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:07 (sixteen years ago)

Miami Vice seems like a slam dunk #1 here. And good job ILX for that.

Nurse Detrius (Eric H.), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:07 (sixteen years ago)

meet dave

Henry Frog (Frogman Henry), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:09 (sixteen years ago)

Can I nominate Kikujirô please?

Last Exit to Steve Brookstein (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:09 (sixteen years ago)

Wet Hot American Summer

Nurse Detrius (Eric H.), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:10 (sixteen years ago)

Still Life

The Screaming Lobster of Challops (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:13 (sixteen years ago)

Miami Vice didn't even win best Colin Farrell film, so In Bruges wins.

Unless the answer is Cloverfield. What are we doing here?

ailsa, Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:13 (sixteen years ago)

im on the fence about in bruges. it got nommed for awards and stuff.

FREE DOM AND ETHAN (special guest stars mark bronson), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:14 (sixteen years ago)

Would like to nominate Paul Blart: Mall Cop altho I haven't seen it yet.

Last Exit to Steve Brookstein (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:15 (sixteen years ago)

Forget Donnie Darko and Brokeback Mountain...Gyllenhaal's most powerful performance of the decade is in Bubble Boy.

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:16 (sixteen years ago)

nom cloverfield

fuck bein hard, BIG HOOS is complicated (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:20 (sixteen years ago)

i thought ardal o'hanlon was excellent in In Bruges

napoleon_dynarod, Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:21 (sixteen years ago)

Miami Vice didn't even win best Colin Farrell film

Yeah, there is Phone Booth to consider.

Nurse Detrius (Eric H.), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:26 (sixteen years ago)

serious noms only plz

FREE DOM AND ETHAN (special guest stars mark bronson), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:31 (sixteen years ago)

Crash, then.

Nurse Detrius (Eric H.), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:33 (sixteen years ago)

In that case, "Speed 2: Cruise Control"

Thrills as Cheap as Gas (Oilyrags), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:36 (sixteen years ago)

If Miami Vice is a serious nomination, I nominate Anaconda 3 and Alien vs. Predator 2

what happened? I'm confused. (sarahel), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:36 (sixteen years ago)

shawshank redemption

iatee, Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:36 (sixteen years ago)

Crash, then.

Which one? The Cronenberg one or that heavy-handed race movie?

what happened? I'm confused. (sarahel), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:37 (sixteen years ago)

And "Never Back Down"

Thrills as Cheap as Gas (Oilyrags), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:37 (sixteen years ago)

abanana, Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:41 (sixteen years ago)

Nomination for K-Pax by the way.

Last Exit to Steve Brookstein (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:42 (sixteen years ago)

I feel like normals have gotten wise to a lot of these movies, really

iatee, Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:43 (sixteen years ago)

robocop

cob nobblin' (latebloomer), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:44 (sixteen years ago)

My understanding of the ILX Canon is: Zodiac, all the Apatow films, Robocop, and Altered States.

caek, Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:47 (sixteen years ago)

haha

caek, Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:47 (sixteen years ago)

yeah, are we nominating films that normal people aren't into or films that are spurned by the "cultural elite" (i.e. not in the canon)?

what happened? I'm confused. (sarahel), Sunday, 15 March 2009 21:48 (sixteen years ago)

鬼の手 (Edward III), Monday, 16 March 2009 23:31 (sixteen years ago)

"the normals"? I got news. ILX is as normal as milk and cookies. Those cookies with the anise seeds, maybe. The ones that break your teeth. You know what ones I mean. That's what the milk is good for. You put the broken tooth into the milk and take it to the dentist, kind of like if you chop off a finger and need it sewn back on and you put the finger on ice. Except the milk is handier. Y'know?
