thedissolve.com top 50 films of 2010-14

I wouldn't say it's badly made I just didn't care about anybody in the film or believe anyone in it. Actually that's not true I found Ruffalo's character believable enough.

Always here to drink in the tears of Scott Pilgrim Her Haters, always delicious.

voted for Exit Through the Gift Shop

I scanned this list of titles on a message board

There are quite a few really excellent films here

Some I did not care for

Some are ok

The people responsible should be murdered in their sleep

lol xp

Which leviathan is this? I really liked both.

the one with the fish heads

choosing one out of any list of 50 is almost always absurd, even if ten of these wouldn't get near my top 300 of the half-decade.

Two of these are in my top 100 OAT, so one of those two.

what are your top 300 films of the half-decade so far, Dr Morbius?

the ones your mama missed.

Amour, Exit Through the Gift Shop, Before Midnight, Wolf of Wall Street all even worse than Her

I voted Take Shelter, which is my 2nd fave Jeff Nichols movie.

I seem to remember Meek's Cutoff getting rave reviews but fell asleep watching it and can't recall much about it.

I enjoyed every single movie on this list that I've seen. Which is only about ten of them.

Turin horse is the only one of these I saw twice at the cinema. However voting inherent vice as it's the film I saw most recently, an important criterion often overlooked by voters in polls

Short Term 12 is also godawful.

Would probably vote one of Dogtooth, Certified Copy, This Is Not a Film

I've never even heard of short term 12! Dogtooth is great. Alps is pretty underrated. I'm grateful to "thedissolve.com" for reminding me that I like films

Certified Copy is the title on this list that most makes me feel like Armond White.

Want an award?

After years of being passed over too fuckin right I do

Certified Copy is the title on this list that most makes me feel like Armond White.

Passionate?

Incoherent in the face of something far more complex and profound than your own ability to communicate?

Xxp It's a great film! It makes me hungry for potatoes and pálinka

Passionate vs Incoherent in the face of something far more complex and profound than your own ability to communicate?

sounds like one of AW's year end binaries.

Plus it's got an awesome soundtrack:

Not really passionate, but probably incoherent. More like the one guy who doesn't get what all the critics are raving about.

I'm pretty incoherent about not getting what's so great about the Dardennes (who aren't on this list).

Still need to see a Dardennes film oneathesedays. Recommendations on best/most representative?

The Son

I'd agree with that on both counts.

U-N-I-T-Y

The Son and Rosetta.

i understood the hate for Rosetta.

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.

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/

Favorites:

1: The Social Network
2: Boyhood
3: Margaret

Hated:

1: The Grand Budapest Hotel
2: The Wolf of Wall Street

Most Disappointing: Meek's Cutoff

Seen: 28

Huh from this list probably act of killing i think?

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

far too few documentaries and yet exit thru the gift shop

Anything to do with Banksy needs incinerating, but yeah so many good docs in the last five years.

The Missing Picture for starters...

I still get annoyed when I think of the ending of Meek's Cutoff.

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

Better than Argo at any rate.

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".

i get a weird "american arnaud desplechin" vibe for it, and i hate arnaud desplechin. also you can count on me was boring.

that's a good analogy but the movie is okay Desplechin.

What do you hate about him?

lol I didn't even vote. knew I wouldn't need to :P
