Inglorious Basterds deserves eternal contempt because it is low level trash and it trivialises the narrative of the partisans, death camp escapees and various miraculous survivors who committed to grim partisan warfare during ww2. People who more often than not went on to get killed fighting back against Nazis rather than wise-cracking with cigars in their gobs and knocking out high ranking Nazis with a single punch etc.
I have not seen it but I always imagine Marie Antoinette would be a guilty pleasure, but it is that fucking insidious Coppola lot again.

I have no business voting in this but I went with Fire Walk with Me

A tough call, but I voted Pulp Fiction. Had I been 16 in 1976 instead of 1994, I prob woulda been Taxi Driver.

I saw the Brown Bunny w a gf who was a big Vincent Gallo fan and we were in a dinky little art theater and I remember really enjoying the aimlessness of it.

The Brown Bunny that was released commercially is a different cut than the one that caught all the heat at Cannes.

I was going to vote for Tree of Life but then I thinkt also got a standing ovation? That's what I heard. L'Avventura probably stands out the most. Others have enough weird and violence (or explicit sexuality) for me to understand boos. L'Avventura got boos because it was too modern for Cannes at the time.

"The Brown Bunny that was released commercially is a different cut than the one that caught all the heat at Cannes."
Completely different if I understand it. Ebert liked the theatrical cut after calling the Cannes cut the worst drivel ever basically.

Anti-Christ or Fire Walk With Me is definitely the worst film by the best director here (Anti-Christ is a slightly more coherent film than the latter, but I'm not sure the fact that Von Trier's appears to be trying harder should be worth any points) although Only God Forgives is also really mediocre. Some of these feel like they were booed just because France.

Southland Tales and Only God Forgives deserve to be booed anywhere.

Yeah I was thinking more of Marie Antoinette or Tree of Life.

Taxi Driver was booed ?? (and Pulp Fiction ?)With the two aforementioned, Wild At Heart and Inglorious Basterds are my two favorites hereI would have booed Southland Tales

Crash (1996)
Is it the objectively best of these? No, but very few other movies even approach the clinical detachment of Ballard. I'd love to see a High Rise adaptation by Cronenberg.

booing a film is such an inherently ludicrous thing to do
I would feel so embarrassed to actually open my mouth and loudly say the word "boo" in public, what is wrong with these people

Booing Southland Tales is kind of gratuitous, like booing a comic book or videogame or Happy Meal or something.

I will never forget a story Taubman tells about his London visit in 1956. What, he asked his Foreign Office escort, was that odd ‘oo, oo!’ noise coming from the back of the crowd? The diplomat explained that people were booing, an expression of disapproval. Khrushchev grew thoughtful. In the back of the car, he said experimentally to himself: ‘Boo!’ And then again: ‘Boo!’ He liked it. For the rest of the day, he went around exclaiming ‘Boo!’ to all kinds of puzzled people. He had learned something.

Do they boo at the end or after every scene they don't like?

Fire Walk with Me and Marie Antoinette are good. The rest of these were justly booed. Except maybe L'Aventura because I haven't seen it.
The Tree of Life and The Brown Bunny (original cut) are ok. I don't like them but I'm interested in the artistic possibilities of boredom.

Eff Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Basterds though seriously

I like lots of these, including Southland Tales, but "favorite" is probably Wild at Heart.
