unless there's a groundswell of opposition (and even if there is tbqf) i was thinking of doing this. i did a poll for the 2000s and it turned out pretty well, good discussions and really good turnout:
The (Now-Overrated) ILX Top 100 Films of the 2000s Poll Results
this decade had a poll before (almost 7 years ago!) but maybe it's time to revisit?
i'll keep this one open until after thanksgiving, voting to commence in one month?
nominations and discussion below. *~~dig deep~~*

Which I didn't vote in but it seems to hit most of the big ones. Still, we need awesome stills and not lolDVD covers.

At quick glance that does seem pretty comprehensive. I think the DVD covers are sort of charming.

I would totally vote with utter unfair subjectivity in this. I'm so sick of Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas that they wouldn't make it onto my list.

i support this poll btw.
― strongo hulkington's ghost dad, Monday, 31 October 2011 21:12 (thirteen years ago)
mostly because omar's 2000s poll enlivened a rather shitty winter that year and i suspect it will do the same for this one.

this came up on another thread, but apparently she directs the occasional tv series ep these days. the 90s in retrospect seems like a promising moment for increased presence of women in directing. i guess holofcener and bigelow have hung on, but others didn't.

speaking of which, i probably wouldn't vote for it, but every time i catch strange days on tv i have to watch it through to the end. so 90s that movie!
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 18:34 (thirteen years ago)
yeah, recently i discovered that if you look up pretty much any prominent female director from the 90s on imdb, you'll find that they do most of their work in TV now - anders, harron, bird, it goes on. not that there's anything wrong with TV, its better than not working at all, but it's hard not to think that they would've gotten more opportunities to do features if they were men...

lol i havent seen most of that list, just thought people would find it useful to be reminded that stuff even existed. putting it together made me realize how utterly impossible it is to have any kind of nostalgia for the post-tarantino mid 90s where every other movie is an ensemble of guys in suits holding sideways guns

Russell has two passions: watching television and farting! He also loves Heather. Heather HATES farting. The eternal triangle! One day she warns him, "if they ever allow farting on television, you'll never leave the house!" Sure enough,one evening he goes to sleep in front of the TV, and "it" happens. Virtually everything on TV is fart related, from sitcoms and commercials, to newscasts and dramas. Starring JOEL WEISS as "Russell", and SHANNANDOAH SORIN as "Heather".

When the producers were looking for technicians to work on the movie, several trade publications including DAILY VARIETY refused to run the "help wanted" ads until the word "fart" was removed from the ad copy. The ads were accepted only after the title was changed to "Windbreakers".

we should just turn this into an all-time action movies poll, right? i feel like it might be a scuffle to get a decent turnout for this one.

We have concluded on the Kael thread that action movies did not exist until the 1980s. So "all-time" is a pretty specious modifier.

No. Omar did the action poll instead, thus launching the trend of ilx genre polls.

We already did a 1990s poll in 2005, though:
