~~~~The Top 100 films/movies of the 2000s/oughties VOTING THREAD~~~~ BALLOTS DUE FEBRUARY 2 (POLLS CLOSED, PREPARE FOR GALA EVENT)

IT IS TIME

rules:

- vote for 40 films either from the list of nominations OR you may write in films that are not listed. go ahead and lobby for the ones you don't see. don't feel restricted by the list.

- the votes are broken down pretty easily: 40 pts for 1st place, 39 for second, etc all the way down to 1 pt for 40th place.

- submit the ballots in the format below:

Darkness Falls - 40pts
Halloween 2 - 39pts
Orphan - 38pts
Battlefield Earth - 37pts

and so on.

This will make tallying a lot easier for me and the results can get out a lot faster.

VOTING CLOSES ON GROUNDHOG DAY! IRL IT DOESN'T REPEAT SO NO LATE BALLOTS!

send your ballot to ilx2000sfilm AT gmail.com

The nominees are at the site below:

http://ilx2000sfilm.wordpress.com/

ugh

send your ballot to ilx2000sf✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧

such pwnage

t(^_^t)

it's the same as the wordpress title, except it's at gmail

thanks jj -_-

Red Barn - 40

(jk, jk)

thanks so much for doing this!

Darkness Falls - 40

This means 40 points for "Darkness Falls" (ie., 1st place) - not 40th place for "Darkness Falls" (ie., 1 point), right?

Is it fair to count Kill Bill vols. 1 and 2 as two separate films? That's like voting on different acts of a play.

yes, xpost. i will ask a mod to clarify that though

there we go : D

went through and started cutting, noticed maybe two mistakes

Two Dark Knights? Two The Class's (one under french title, one in english)?

Or I could be wrong.

i'm down to 118 films

what if i dont want to vote for darkness falls :(

I don't see Revolutionary Road + Sweeney Todd on the list -- I'm voting for both, so I figured I'd mention them here in case anyone else wants to vote for them.

those films listed as examples are actually the only four nominees, i'm afraid.

well I already submitted a list of 100 today but it's subject to change.

some kind of monster is on the twice under S and M, btw

neither of them really fit in the s&m category

what a horribly formed "post"

Surprised that "Wendy and Lucy" made it, but "Old Joy" didn't.

OR you may write in films that are not listed

Ah, just saw this.

Other missing ones I may vote for: "Goodbye Solo" and "Hors de Prix"

Wasn't 'Crash' nominated?

http://i44.tinypic.com/x22tlt.gif

movie I really wish would place but probably won't: The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.

since there is a month left i would encourage many "re-screenings"

Are you suggesting Dude Where's My Car doesn't hold up?

I'm a bit late, but Netflix's online selection is pretty great!

dud where's my car?

3 ballots in so far, well done

33 films fighting for 9 of my slots

what docs are people voting for? i feel like i'm wasting votes on them

anyone going for order of myths or forbidden lies or iraq in fragments?

billy the kid? american teen?

I'm gonna do this, but I'm glad you left such a big voting window.

voted for spellbound, grizzly man, parrots of telegraph hill, capturing the friedmans, and the devil & daniel johnston

Can't remember if we're using IMDB as a guide for dates, but if so Audition is 1999 (assuming it's the Miike Takashi one)

USA 11 June 2000 (Seattle International Film Festival)

OK. Sonatine is from 1993 though, should be taken out I guess.

Def keep Audition on. As far as docs, I'll prolly throw Order of Myths some points, that and Capturing the Friedmans.

awesome.

doesn't ilx like lantana?

sonatine was my fault, noted on the nominating thread. i was just scrolling thru my netflix ratings for anything i gave 4 or 5 stars to, and for whatever reason netflix has that with a 2000s date. it is definitely a '90s film.

Election is from '99 too

i think it's the hong kong election

big Order Of Myths fan, not enough to vote for it. Kind of a minor treasure. Out of my own personal Immortal 10 I'll stan here for Head-On. That film's a live wire, go watch it!

ok, this is enough to make me vote for OoM (for those who haven't seen it, you can watch it online @ Netflix)

'sonatine' removed, 'election' clarified (johnnie to gangster film that basically owns; sequel is triad election, also listed)

can I submit and unordered ballot?

AN unordered ballot

if i'm not mistaken, 1-40 adds up to 820, so that would work out to 20.5 points per film. if you want to submit an unordered ballot, that's ok with me. just put 20.5 pts after each film title.

also, someone has already submitted a ballot with less than 40 films, and if anyone else wants to do that it's ok. i'd just ask for at least 20 films on your list.

excited!

movies considered a lock that fall outside the top 100 are all the more reason to limit it to 100 and let people hold their breath

top 800 imo

Yeah, I was interpreting the 111 plan as "a lot of not so hot movies made the 100" or "Mulholland Drive somehow landed at #111."

mh is a lock for #1 tho guys we can all agree on that rite

mhd

smhd

MullDr @ #5 called it

there will be blood at #1

maybe i'm out of the loop, but i don't see Mullholland Drive getting the most #1 votes, even if it does end up in first place overall.

a few years ago it'd have been zoolander or harold and kumar.

"a few" meaning "seven"

zoolander is an amazing movie

#54 btw

harold + kumar = the best exploration of race ever committed to film

race to a fast food outlet

extreme kayaking

extreme ops top 10 yhih1st!

Love Harold, like Kumar as a friend.

when do we do ballot sharing? I'd like to see some ppl's top 10

I suggest ballot sharing gets done on this thread so we don't crap up the top 100 thread

no way am i sharing my ballot. i can confirm that i managed to keep joe dirt out of my top 40, but it was a struggle

At least these poll results will make me feel better about the other one Eric and I participated in. (Except for you guys being aware that Michel Gondry > Bruno Dumont.)

if there has to be a favourite for #1 it would be MH, but ILX is far too varied in its film love to call anything. the fact that there were around 100 ballots makes me think we're going to get a wide array of genre/quality.

(or in most cases, blissfully unaware of Bruno Dumont)

xp

yeah, I'm hoping there's enough ILX weirdness out there that the top 10 doesn't end up being the predictable stuff (there will be milkshakes, no country for bowlcuts, mystic eastwood, etc)

have to believe eternal sunshine of spotless mind will rank high as well

(or in most cases, blissfully unaware of Bruno Dumont)

"blissfully yours" by bruno dumont (they all get raped and eaten by tigers)

people could just post their no 1's, that would allow the arguments while keeping the thread fairly clear at the same time.

The only ballot sharing I'll do at this time is to confirm that I was apparently utterly predictable in placing two of the films being bandied about as potential winners at position one and position two on my ballot.

(And given that fact, one could probably predict my number three choice.)

all in my top ten, maybe top 5? still, we'll have the satisfaction of being winners to warm us

etiquette w/ these big ilx polls has usually been to wait to post ballots after all the results have been posted, right?

At least these poll results will make me feel better about the other one Eric and I participated in. (Except for you guys being aware that Michel Gondry > Bruno Dumont.)

the less music video directors on this list the better imo

Charlies Angels: Full Throttle for number 1. Has Marcos Siega directed any feature lengths? If so, can I rejig my ballot?

no ballot sharing is my preference, not until the full results are out there

man's gotta have a code

Yeah, no ballots before we get into the top 5, at least.

do people vote for stuff they haven't seen?

no rush, but when are you planning to start the countdown omar?

bro: The (Now-Overrated) ILX Top 100 Films of the 2000s Poll Results

NO RUSH OMAR *taps watch*

yeah, I'm hoping there's enough ILX weirdness out there that the top 10 doesn't end up being the predictable stuff (there will be milkshakes, no country for bowlcuts, mystic eastwood, etc)

wait do people actually like the shitty film "mystic river"

oh right

I voted for mystic river but then again I could give two shits about boston veracities

mystic river would have been better with Julianne Moore doing a boston accent.

mystic river is an anti-revenge movie made by a guy who built his career playing famous vigilante cop, cheap dimestore ironies like this are my lifesblood

the less music video directors on this list the better imo

'zackly how I feel about video store clerks!

'zackly why I use Netflix

so you don't run into the next QT?

So I don't run into you.

gondry's last movie was ABOUT video store clerks! and how awesome it is when they become filmmakers!
