A ballot submission movie poll poll: where do we go from here? I predict ilxor clusterfuck.

citizen mycocaine

All nominations pulled from Movies That Were Probably Made By a Spasm of Six Year-Olds on Acid: The Top 75 Action Films Poll Results Thread

the 'speculative fiction' poll was such a shitshow that sci-fi should be off the table.

romcoms all the way.

voted romcom but most hated would be interesting too.

the 'speculative fiction' poll was such a shitshow

?!?!

would love a scifi poll except it would be pretty predictable, and we need a break from muscled hunks with guns.

the spec fic poll turned out really well? i dont remember you even participating SD...

I recommend against gravity movies only because we would have too much overlap with the action thread. Too soon. No gravity.

Comedies. Also: canonized film whose appeal you find most mystifying.

I think I'm going to go with war movies, though SF and romantic comedies would be ok.

I voted war movies. It'll be interesting to see what people consider "war movies." Actual combat action? Just a wartime setting (e.g. Casablanca)?

The canon doesn't have an awful lot of time for comedies (even less so than action films?) so I'd love a comedy poll. I might even remember to vote in it this time.

i didn't see it until after the fact but some things about the results (mainly every other entry being PK Dick) made it seem kind of Inception-in-the-top-3 level rmde

ahhhhhh the french

missing ~erotic thrillers~ tbh

Comedies, 'thrillers', sci-fi in that order. I'd be interested in polls of British movies and French movies. In a Brit movie poll I'd be keen to see how the results would differ between Brits and the rest of the world.

Oh hey guys I left out:
erotic thrillers
erotic comedies

v sorry (I meant to include them!), but I think I accidentally saved us from a v dark and terrifying place *stares blankly, rocking back and forth*

Also, I intentionally left out "anything that makes morbs angry." See overlap.

war movies but idea about ranking yr 'overrated canon' flicks appeals

War, rom-com, IMDB top 100 are the next three I'd like to see

I am probably voting straight-up comedies, but I like the idea of body-swap movies or friendship movies, because of obvious cross-genre randomness factor.

imdb top 50 would be a fun quickie poll thread (or two, best AND worst), but really doesn't need to be a ballot poll

IMDB top 50 tainted by nerds

that's WHY it'd be fun, duh

it's like when we poll those horrible rateyourmusic lists on ILM

like really anything as specific as body-swap movies or whatever, it'd be so easy to put the <50 most obvious options in a poll thread and ludicrous to do a ballot poll with rigorous tabulation and a long results rollout

Romantic comedies or Paul Masson commercials.

I fear that Paul Masson commercials is going to be the Ralph Nader of the ballot poll poll

I think ILX's rankings vs IMDB nerds would be the fun part, not just which is best. Citizen Kane would probably just win anyway.

write-in vote for "erotic comedies"

Yeah, v v sorry, DJP ;_;

write-in vote for ignoring DJPs vote

most hated movies prob has the most clear ilx charm tho

counter write-in vote for converting every vote to "erotic comedies"

also fyi austerity ponies you left your bag on my floor last night u drunk

ah yes I'll need ot get that

or THRILLERS <<<best genre

Aaaaaahhh...! Paul Masson.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH1PJTY9AVA

Serious vote for comedies, though. It's broad enough to elicit some surprising results. We probably just need to chip in on a Life Alert for Morbs before the results come in.

Also a write-in for a proper horror ballot poll, although most people seem to think the year-by-year polls are sufficient.

i wd love to see "most hated" happen, tho perhaps the scale wd need to be smaller

Is this for serious votes about what poll comes up next or lol votes? I'd be interested in a genuine 'comedies' poll or a 'best movie robot' poll. The others, not so much. 'Most-hated movies' would have too many one-vote films, surely?

Best movie robot -- I think a radio-button poll would be plenty for this.

'Most-hated movies' would have too many one-vote films, surely?

I agree with this 100%. Sounds boring.

I think the ballot polls work best with broader categories, like an artist's full discography as opposed to all the tracks on one album.

the spec fic poll turned out really well? i dont remember you even participating SD...

yeah I thought this poll was great, despite the results it was a really interesting thread. also it was limited to books, did not include movies (altho I could've sworn there has also been a sci-fi movie poll already...?)

Best movie robot -- I think a radio-button poll would be plenty for this.

Yeah, maybe so. But there are quite a few of them.

Voting for 'comedies' with that in mind, then.

maybe it was 70s only tho...? I remember being irritated by *ugh* Tarkovsky ranking highly

xp

emil.y, this is for votes about what ballot poll comes up next. If bathroom movies wins, it will probably be v different than a comedies or war movies poll.

Would Scream 2 count as a bathroom movie?

Fluffykins, I understand what the general thrust of this poll is, I was just pondering if it would have an actual effect, as so many of the options are 'lol options'. If it wasn't going to matter I may well have voted for something silly.

(Sorry for calling you Fluffykins.)

NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR CALLING HIM FLUFFYKINS

i also vote "thrillers"

kinda undermines the sobriety of austerity ponies tbh

Anything genre-based is probably going to annoy me to some degree b/c how do you decide what counts.

You look within yourself. Or, ask Tuomas.

*nods*

I guess you could go with IMDB or Boxofficemojo labels.

I didn't really follow the action movies thread, but in other genre polls I usually go for a loose definition, but place things that I may love lower if I feel like their relationship to the genre is looser. These things usually work themselves out okay.

who knows what lol votes will bring. I mean, we're all kind of rooting for some of these lol options, right? But who has the guts to risk it all on bathroom movies?

I suggest we poll movies in the "Comedy - Fat Suit" genre.

Would Scream 2 count as a bathroom movie?

― (thinks and smiles) (DJP), Wednesday, February 22, 2012 11:24 AM (33 minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

I think so. psycho and fatal attraction are probably bathroom movies too. But where are the positive bathroom movies?

i voted 'rides'

Buffalo 66 is a bathroom movie, right? And Trainspotting?

I voted war movies but I would be down with comedies also.

Bro, I'm heartbroken that you left out Erotic War Comedies. ;_;

Scarface is a bathroom movie

predict high finish for Saw in bathroom movies because its the bathroomiest

glad that erotic bathroom comedies is not an option

although, yknow, porkys

http://i2.listal.com/image/productsus/1000/B00003CXI7/dvds/what-lies-beneath.jpg

depending on your perspective, porkys could be viewed as a positive bathroom movie

Also a write-in for a proper horror ballot poll, although most people seem to think the year-by-year polls are sufficient.

YES, THIS!!! a proper horror ballot poll! that's what i want for my (upcoming) birthday.

barring that, thrillers would be my next choice

would love a horror poll, I've really dug the annual ones (I suppose we could skip a noms thread and just use the annual results as a starting point...?)

otherwise, voted romcoms of course, in case anyone was wondering

(altho I could've sworn there has also been a sci-fi movie poll already...?)

a few people have said this but i can't find a ballot poll, there's a few radio button per decade polls.

would love a horror poll, I've really dug the annual ones (I suppose we could skip a noms thread and just use the annual results as a starting point...?)

nomination threads are half the fun, though. what gets in, what gets left out, the fact that people nominate stuff that has only the most tangenial relationship to the genre. gets everyone invested before the voting even begins.

sci-fi would also be cool.

sci-fi was done by decade

The 1990s science fiction movie poll
The 1970's Science Fiction Movie Poll
The 1980's science fiction movie poll

oh duh ledge said that already

alltime sci fi, and alltime horror would be awesome.

Yeah, I'd definitely recommended a nomination thread if we did horror, as a good number of my picks (yes, I'm already putting a ballot together in my head) aren't necessarily conventional horror movies.

Sex and the City 2, for example.

yeah, don't think that the sci-fi and horror poll threads are at all comparable to the open-ended action movie poll

my favorite horror movie is Bambi

~~think about it~~

Old Yeller imo

poll of sadness movies

For reals, I would give Testament a serious push in a horror poll. It's still maybe the most dread-filled movie I've ever seen.

I never saw Where The Red Fern Grows the movie but if it's half as sad as the book it is the saddest movie ever made

kinda can't believe my parents let 11yo me watch Testament

Bambi and Old Yeller destroyed me as a kid. The only other one I remember bawling my eyes out at is La Bamba :/

kinda can't believe my parents let 12-year-old me watch Threads

testament starts out as a gravity movie, but the plot is resolved by sadness

La Bambi

Which one was the one with all the hulabalooabout its debut on (american) teevee? was that the day after? which is the best 80s after the bomb movie? testament?

Threads is the best

and by "best" I mean "holy shit"

the ending is still vividly with me, 35 years later

or 25, whatever

that movie was so horrifying it makes me bad at math whenever I think about it

that's p serious then

Which one was the one with all the hulabalooabout its debut on (american) teevee? was that the day after? which is the best 80s after the bomb movie? testament?

The Day After was the BIG TV EVENT but Testament is a better film in every way.

I've never seen Testament, how does it compare to Threads?

Which one was the one with all the hulabalooabout its debut on (american) teevee? was that the day after?

Yep, I watched that over the two nights that it aired, and boy did the actual attack scene scare the ever-loving shit out of me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2H1E02iMHg

the kid who went blind scared the ever loving shit out of me

never even heard of Threads before

xp

xpost to Shakey Mo

Seriously. I saw Testament when I was probably EIGHT, and then again when I was probably 28 just to confirm that the trauma it induced was way the fuck legit.

Testament is the saddest movie I've ever seen. I was just writing about one particularly devastating scene, but I won't spoiler anything since Dan hasn't seen it.

the scene in Testament where the teenage daughter asks her mom what sex is like because she knows she's not going to live long enough to ever get laid is etched in my brain

so fucked up

uh spoiler I guess lol

Nicholas Meyer writes a lot in his book about making The Day After, btw, and how sick doing all the research made him.

And, in the "dbags will always be dbags" category:

Commentator Ben Stein, critical of the movie's message (i.e. that the strategy of Mutual Assured Destruction would lead to a war), wrote in the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner what life might be like in an America under Soviet occupation. (Stein's idea was eventually dramatized in the miniseries Amerika, also broadcast by ABC.)

The New York Post accused Meyer of being a traitor, writing, "Why is Nicholas Meyers doing Yuri Andropov's work for him?"[5] Phyllis Schlafly declared that "This film was made by people who want to disarm the country, and who are willing to make a $7 million contribution to that cause".[5] Much press comment focused on the unanswered question in the film of who started the war.[5]

I still have residual ptsd from watching The Day After as a kid...it was on tv a couple of years ago and I had to leave the room, I felt like I was a having a panic attack

WmC, is the Testament scene in question the one (mostly spoiler-free) with Lucas Haas getting a bath, by any chance? Because I think that may be permanently branded on my brain as the most quietly horrifying scene I've ever seen in a movie. It feels like a nightmare.

YES

I feel like crying now just thinking about it.

I think I remembered being terrified by that scene as a kid because I wasn't clear on why it happened and I wondered if it could happen to me, too.

Gah! Why wasn't every possible measure taken to keep kids from watching these awful '80s post-nuke films?!

that day after youtube: wow i obv put a lot of imagination into my media experiences back then. I remember the attack scene a lot differently, as in traumatizing and v realistic, but that is def the same movie I saw & thought I temembered.

I appreciate that they used all that stock footage from nuclear tests, tho

should I see testament or ET? I have seen neither of these sadness movies

Kids hell, I was 30 when I saw that movie.

sorry or threads

if you all haven't seen "Threads", I don't even know what to tell you

it's fucking GRIM

hahaha Threads, ET... tomayto, tomahto

VG, me too -- it was especially traumatizing for me because:

-- My father was still on active duty in the Army when it aired, stationed at Ft. Belvoir, VA, a stone's throw from primary target Washington, DC.

-- We were living in Perry, OH, less than three miles from the Perry Nuclear Power Plant and 45 miles from Cleveland. Power generating plants and medium-sized cities were likely to be secondary/tertiary nuclear targets.

As a child of the 70s/80s, it played into all my darkest fears.

there is no candy in threads which is where it gets dark

ET is the sadness of having a good friend move away. Testament is the sadness of having all hope and promise being slowly stripped from your life forever and ever. Kinda just depends on what kinda night-in you're feeling.

I grew up 7.5 miles away from a nuclear power plant, so both Threads and The Day After were basically giant barrels of terror to me

also Threads is the sadness of watching someone stomp repeatedly on your child's head

Threads is far and away the greatest of that kind of film. First nuclear winterval film night I held: Threads and the War Game. Second nuclear winterval: The Day After and When the Wind Blows. I guess the third will probably be Testament and On the Beach, though I'm tempted to re-screen Threads.

full metal jacket is totally a bathroom movie

The Shining, too

Gummo, as well.

i support more horror ballot style polls, but it think maybe on a decade by decade basis - i mean youd prob have to split the final ones into 2000-2005 and 2006-present. its a pretty prolific genre

Eastern Promises
^^^bathroom movie

Copycat is the platonic ideal of a bathroom movie

xxpost

Nahhh...that's what the year-by-year horror polls were for, yeah? It would make for more excitingr results if it spanned the history of horror films.

I will campaign so fucking hard for Mutant/Forbidden World in a horror poll

if only because more people need to see that movie so I can have a larger pool of ppl to go "WTF was that" with

erotic horror will never be a poll please god

agree w deric. better to have one poll to rule them all. i mean, there are tons of action films out there, too.

maybe just chop it off at the year 2000 then because idk man with all the low budget horror proliferation of the last decade or so it seems pretty hard to throw out martyrs etc in lieu of nosferatu and the old school stuff and sleepaway camp and

that is the whole point of these polls!

srsly tho, comedies poll: (^ｰ^)(;_;)(O_o)(>.<)(^Ｏ^); etc. could be epic

I just realized a surprising omission from the action films: Highlander! Does that movie just not rate anymore?

lol i voted for highlander

I likely would have voted for Highlander, it was on my shortlist

that is the whole point of these polls!

DJP otm. the hair-tearing brutality of the ballot selection process is key to my enjoyment.

best experimental short films ballot poll

^^^Lucifer Rising ftw

v meshes of an afternoon

w bimbo's initiation as a dark-horse third

would put some Jordan Belson at the top of my list too

fine dudes, the campaign to get human centipede into the top ten starts now

also did we ever do any late period year by year horror polls? maybe thats why i am tempted to exclude them from the alltime.

fine dudes, the campaign to get human centipede into the top ten starts now

My favorite romcom after Inception

http://mediamikes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/drheiter.jpg

human centipede def deserves to place in the bathroom movies poll.

just looked and it seems that the year by year polls ended at 2000. also in case people think im trolling i actually think human centipede is surprisingly good

deiter laser is surprisingly GENIOUS, the rest of the movie, i dunno

i like the idea of 'comedies' bcz it seems to require cognitive work the way 'action' duz, whereas (e.g.) 'science fiction' movies are more of a yes or no proposition

just looked and it seems that the year by year polls ended at 2000. also in case people think im trolling i actually think human centipede is surprisingly good

It is reactions like this that drove the story behind JC2; apparently dude was super pissed that viewers enjoyed the first one and decided to make the second one as unwatchable as possible.

i like the idea of 'comedies' bcz it seems to require cognitive work the way 'action' duz, whereas (e.g.) 'science fiction' movies are more of a yes or no proposition

not sure i understand the distinction being made here

yeah I definitely don't

xpost

Maybe that sci-fi is a little easier to qualify, a little more codified, whereas there's more wiggle room with respect to what constitutes comedy? I dunno, just speckalaytin' on a hypothesis.

I disagree with your hypothesis. is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind a sci-fi movie or a romcom, for ex

Both? It's funny you mention that, because I was thinking of that precise example, for some reason. Even though it isn't a typical sci-fi film on the surface, I'm sure everyone would agree that it fits the bill.

it's an erotic bathroom thriller

surprised no one has suggested a sports movie poll

I'd be genuinely interested in doing a children's film poll at some point, assuming it hasn't already been done.

xpost north dallas forty ftw

eternal sunshine: sure, it's a sci fi movie, why not

the action film poll is interesting bcz people are going BLADE RUNNER IS NOT AN ACTION FILM, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU

there's no point at which there would be anything much interesting at stake in denying anything was an sf film

okay, i get that. some borderline cases, but p clear-cut in most cases.

I'd be genuinely interested in doing a children's film poll at some point, assuming it hasn't already been done.

YES, brilliant, either this or horror

"xpost north dallas forty ftw"

Bull Durham or GTFO

(Also a romcom btw)

i should prob ask darin this since he was doing the year by year things, but i would like to poll through the 2001-2011 decades (button not ballot style) before a full on alltime horror ballot poll happened for the sake of my own sanity/not morbsing over everyone when psycho wins and deadgirl doesnt even place

there's no point at which there would be anything much interesting at stake in denying anything was an sf film

trying to work out why this is

like why would people get het up about what constitutes an action film but be laissez fair about what constitutes an sf film (people definitely had OPINIONS about what was eligible in the spec fiction poll, not sure why films would be different really - maybe the tropes are just more obvious/limited in the medium of film? I dunno)

i think it's a matter of how we construct our idea of the genre. like a sci-fi film = any movie that has any appreciable of sci-fi content. like, if it's got an alien or a time machine, then it's almost certainly sci-fi.

action is more tricky, because we feel that a film has to have some scale-tipping amount of action to qualify as a proper "action film" (hence blade runner squabbling). same with the fact that funny parts don't necessarily a comedy make.

'action' and 'comedy' are inevitably formal definitions of genre, 'science fiction' seems (from an ahistorical perspective like a best-of poll, at least) basically a cosmetic one

xp

yeah basically anything with science in it is a sci-fi movie, I guess...

i mean there's attempts at ground-up definitions which start with the claim that there's some kind of NEW THING which redefines the social or at least personal context of the action - 'novum'? i'm trying to remember if this is brian aldiss's definition or frederic jameson's - but i think this doesn't really work with a lot of interesting sf work after the 50s; i think it's inevitable that any genre partly dependent on marketable construction of such won't maintain its formal tendencies over time, though i'm not sure i could generalise that

I feel like the only instance in which the status of a sci-fi movie would be arguable is if the proposed sci-fi-ness were external to what was presented onscreen? I'm not explaining well here. I mean, like, if someone argued that Mulholland Drive is sci-fi. They may be able to expound some theory for why that is, but there isn't really anything onscreen to support that theory.

it's a "neo-noir psychological thriller", apparently

you forgot 'erotic'

it's a horror movie, like most everything lynch has done recently

I bet Tumoas could clear all this up in a heartbeat lol

action poll thread was probably the Citizen Cane of ilx ballot submission movie polls

perfekt

But better than Citizen Cane, obviously.

More like Citizen Cane't, amirite?

oopsidoodle

okay, I really want to do a sports movie ballot poll - anyone care if it runs simultaneously with horror/comedy/whatever wins?

I will def partake!

I'd have to see the nominees, but I'm pretty sure the only sports movie I care about at all is Hoop Dreams. Unless The Running Man counts.

the sports film is the anus of cinema

No, that's the typewriter in Naked Lunch

always get those two confused

RUDY CAN HEAR YOU, YOU KNOW CONTENDERIZER ;_;

there are lots of good sports films. queen of sports, days of youth, bad news bears, downhill racer, slap shot, scene at the sea, offside, boiling point (sort of), lagaan, etc. etc.

the japanese are particularly good at sports movies IMO

olympia

phar lap! :D (see I can always nom an Australian movie, no matter what category)

loneliness of the long-distance runner, if that counts

Planning a controversial war movie nomination for The Hunt For Red October. Cold War plus explosions = close enough for me.

head says romcoms
heart says desert movies

voted with my head.

i really think we'll have the most fun if we do a romcom poll first, followed by a general comedy film poll

would vote the fuck out of a sports movie poll, too.

Slap Shot will be #1.

The Cutting Edge surely?

If we poll sports movies, I am campaigning for Shaolin Soccer so hard

I'd vote for it

Jumpball is a sport, right?

Also, Death Race 2000 is clearly a sports movie.

Dodgeball

MIRACLE, you commies

Bull Durham is a bathroom movie

You probably haven't voted and are going to whine about the results.

an EROTIC bathroom movie xp

Hoop Dreams would be my sports movie #1

Movies I would consider nominating to either a war or comedy poll:
Dr. Strangeglove
Mister Roberts
Kelly's Heroes
MASH (might not make my final list for either)
and for universal placement:
***STARSHIP TROOPERS***

you forgot Duck Soup

the salad comes first

Oh shit yeah. And I suppose we could also nominate The General again for both.

have we come to any consensus about which ballot poll is next? /serious

well i guess i could wait for the poll to end but i expect mostly lol respsonses

Poll closes tomorrow. Made the duration almost a week = way too long.

I'm so sad that this thread isn't "A ballet movie submission poll."

Strongly suspect it will be romcoms > comedies > war movies.

We should start talking about who wants to run the poll. Volunteers?

omar?

I think comedy and horror might've gotten the most in-thread nods.

i probably don't have enough time to run another poll right now due to work commitments, it was kind of a time-crunch getting everything posted in the mornings which is why it took awhile to get things rolling w/the action films poll. i'm willing to help on the stills if i can get the final results info a couple weeks in advance but the posting and the unveiling won't be in the cards.

i might be up for running a romcom poll

I would love to run a poll, but I have a lot of internet restrictions at work, including blocked image hosting, so no lovely stills on the reveal thread. I second some dude for romcom, and whoever is up to the task of running any other polls.

to be clear i wouldn't be doing any fancy stills, if that changes anyone's opinion of whether i should do the duty

Yeah I would just accompany all of the winning movie posts with youtubes of dudes getting wacked in the crotch.

And my work blocks "viral videos" so these would be deep cuts.

children's/family too

Did we already do horror movies or is there a different reason that's not on the ballot?

we took noms from the action poll & threw them up here to see what's next. folks can do as many polls as they want, but this is just to pick the next one and avoid silmultaneous polls. there's nothing holding anyone back from polling what they want. horror wasn't targeted & left out for a reason. it just didn't come up in the action thread.

ah ok. I voted sci-fi...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

So what is "gravity movies" and can we eat them.

omar wants a molecular gastronomy movies poll

oops. Leee, that is.

gravy movies

I am sure that there are erotic gravy comedies. OH HEY HAVE YOU VOTED FOR WHAT IS OUR NEXT MOVIE BALLOT POLL

I voted for war movies but wd def participate in gravy / gravity movies poll or erotic war comedy poll

is this: http://www.gravityfilms.com/projects/
Gravity movies?

Or is it some kind of genre name that only internet people use, like "mumblecore"?

It is a joke from the action movie thread. people were arguing about the definition of action movie (i.e. the centril conflict is resolved by action). And then Andrew Farrell coined the term and it caught on:

Yeah like Die Hard, it's basically a gravity movie.

Comedies it is! Shall I start a nomination thread?

yes plz

WHAT'S NEXT?

I think horror, sci-fi, war movies, romantic comedies, & romances are the most serious pending suggestions for all-time polls.

I recommend holding off on romantic comedies so close to the comedies poll, but I'm OK with whatever.

WAR

but I'm cool with Horror, scifi, romances

I just want to offer that I'd happily run an ILX romantic movies poll, but not if it's restricted to comedies.

best Paul Masson wine commercials making me lol so hard, I forgot all those options

that'd be pretty awesome, croup

I think someone had hardcore designs on the horror poll next though, Eric?

you could pool it and do romantic horrors

unintentional comedies (so we can vote for coleman francis joints, "the room" and "human centipede" in a comedy-oriented poll and do so in good faith).

Eisbaer why don't you just do a Movie Challops Poll

Would be happy to make a ballot of the Top 50 movies people don't appreciate as much as I do

lol

Eisbaer why don't you just do a Movie Challops Poll

i actually rather like that, but i have even less time than AP to collect and tabulate ballots.

i really want to do a musicals poll. either any musical (theater or film) or just movie musicals would be cool.

but I R word is bond

I guess this is actually the place to mention that I'd like to run an animated features poll sometime.

ERIC H WHEN YOU GONNA START A HORROR NOM THREAD

love the idea of the challop poll since the voters of films that win would be proven to be less cool than they think they are. The nominations thread would be silent!

I'd still really like to see a general kids movie poll at some point. I'd offer to run it, but my current embarrassment of free time will be drying up relatively soon.

And, at some point, a mini unintentional comedies poll would be awesome.

wait, how would a challop poll work? you vote for films you think are underrated genius that would blow people's minds if only they would watch them? or you vote for mega popular movies that, shockingly, you think are REALLY GOOD?

And, at some point, a mini unintentional comedies poll would be awesome.

yes, but it could get meta with bad comedies that are funny for unintentional reasons

And movies that were made by accident

I think in a challops poll you would award the most points to the movie that you would most likely call someone out on challops for stanning for

challops poll would probably be the ugliest thread imho

i like the idea of people announcing the stuff they're smug about far more than people announcing the stuff they think other people are smug about

already asked this on the comedy ballot, but can I expect to start on Romance after horror or is someone else chomping at the bit? I don't mind waiting.

I've got a pretty long horizon of free time (until grad school starts) so if I do animation I can happily wait til summer sometime

or May or w/e

I'm definitely up for doing a Brit-movies poll, partly as I'm curious to see the difference between Brits choices and rest of the world.

I pictured the challops poll = people stanning for ridiculous bullshit in the noms, and then voting for the complete OPPOSITE ridiculous bullshit in the actual results,

feel strongly that boob movies should come between horror and romance

I've been thinking about this alot and I'd like a poll of Erotic Robot Movies

movies featuring a sex doll

Or my other favorite genre, a nod to Whiney: POLL OF NERD MOVIES AND MOVIES FOR PEOPLE WHO DRESS UP IN COSTUMES

pre-1960 musicals

I thought about road movies--Thelma & Louise, Harry & Tonto, Easy Rider, Lost in America, etc.--but I don't know if that's too specialized, or if it would be impossible to pin down what belongs. (How much time do the principals have to be on the road? Would Five Easy Pieces count? Etc.) And to be honest, I'm just trying to sneak in a '70s poll in disguise.

7000+ posts on this one for sure

hope not; a crowd ruins everything, as we've just seen.

Airplane won, I'm happy, that's all that matters. Surely...

Nah. It wasn't a direct transcription of Morbs' ballot so it was a disaster.

(Just when were you planning to admit to being pleasantly surprised by how olds-friendly the results were, anyway, Morbs?)

It identified 1980-98 as the Golden Age of comedy, that's all that matters.

"olds-friendly" in what sodding universe?

sigh

fine, I'll do it

stop calling me shirley

;_;

jesus fucking christ dr morbius for the love of god shut the fuck up already

i didnt even follow this poll and you're ruining my fun

Animated films!

i wanna do fantasy/sf, morbs can agitate endlessly for the thief of bagdad

http://s.thumbs.canstockphoto.com/canstock0697733.jpg

yes plz

fantasy/SF would be cool w me, so long as horror doesn't get pushed back too far. geek shit needs its moment in the sun.

I think romance should be next, then animated features, then sci-fi/fantasy. Don't really care about horror.

Just in case you missed it: Tales From The ILX Top 100 Horror Movies Poll Discussion/Nominations Thread

all right I am probably gonna have nothing to do with the horror poll so somebody bump this when it's over and I'll probably launch straight into animation, there's at least like three people who think that's a good idea right?

I'm most excited about animation, war, sci-fi. I will support whatever happens next.

xpost

I can get with animation, although given my very slight knowledge of anime and the wasteland (Pixar excluded) that animation has become in the last 15 years, I imagine my ballot would be a little light.

have we ever just done a "best movies evah" poll?

Are you going to allow shorts in the animation poll?

I am suggesting an animated features poll because there's basically jillions of animated shorts from all over the world and I'm willing to bet that nobody has seen very many of them (incl. myself) so it would devolve into a Don Hertzfeldt and Looney Toons poll.

Whereas with an animated features poll the focus on American kid's films and anime would actually be a reasonable snapshot of the genre.

Obviously lots of the most interesting and vital work in animation is in shorts but I don't think it'd make for a fun poll.

Oops, didn't realize there had been a poll to decide the next one.

Well ... I don't care.

that was the previous next one!

so going to #2 for the current next one would be silly b/c what if all the comedy voters had a #2 preference of horror rather than rom coms

hee hee number two

sorry

Aw, if we don't poll shorts I can't include

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyxYdj9dGcI

there have to be actual soviet bloc cartoons that are even weirder than that

Shame if we can't include shorts as some animator/studios best work was done in that medium, Chuck Jones, Nick Park, Fleischer studios etc

I mean I agree; I voted for Duck Amuck in the comedy poll. I might be overthinking the need for the poll results to be coherent in some way; they could also be really boring limited to features. Maybe there will need to be an animation poll pre-poll for whether to include shorts.

Speaking of shorts, here's Jan Svankmajer's Jabberwocky!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk9PDKJBacc

could we do a short one (top 20? 50?) of ROAD MOVIES please?

there have to be actual soviet bloc cartoons that are even weirder than that

soviet animation was amazing

I think, in lieu of an animated shorts poll (which would be kind of a disastrous mess, I'm sure), I'd kinda prefer if people just contributed heavily to the What are your favorite animated shorts??? thread.

good idea.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEwE4wyz00o

i strongly feel that animated shorts and TV shows and so on should be included in the animation poll. otherwise, it's gonna be a boring summary of the acknowledged best of disney, pixar, dreamworks and ghibli, with a few outliers here and there (bakshi, nightmare before christmas, fantastic planet, allegro non troppo, triplets of belleville, etc). i feel like i could call the top 20 from here. i mean, there just aren't anywhere near as many great animated features as there are great comedies, action movies and horror films. partly cuz they're expensive and time-consuming to produce, partly cuz they were for so long seen as kids fare.

TV stuff like how the grinch stole christmas, a charlie brown christmas and all those rankin-bass specials should be included. so should the classic warner brothers, disney and fleischer studios cartoon shorts. so should oddball animation from around the world, and webtoons or whatever. otherwise, it'll be a very dull, predictable and limited poll.

akira, paprika, etc...

so it's horror yes?

i feel like i could call the top 20 from here.

I don't buy this

Pixar wouldn't even appear on my list, for ex.

challops!

Pixar wouldn't even appear on my list, for ex.

yeah, but it would appear on a lot of folks lists.

wow cant wait for this list of pixar and non-pixar movies

i wanna do fantasy/sf

which one?

you guys got rid of 40% of everything -- comedy -- so you can split everything else into 63 subgenres now.

do you need a cry tissue?

akira, paprika, etc...

Ooh, I wanna take ya to Allegro Non Troppo . . . .

Agree w/Morbs that should there be a poll fantasy and sf should be polled separately. If nothing else just to see the arguments about where Star Wars fits.

that'd be the "space opera" poll

space western

just throwing this out there: wd anyone be interested in a poll of british films?

in about a year

(and as long as fake-Brits like the 007 movies are forbidden)

ah but who would be the lucky pedant to stand stiff outside that palace

i anticipate long boring arguments about whether 'the third man' and 'a clockwork orange' are brit-films.

I've come around to polling animated shorts, short subjects, and features in one poll. (Not episodic TV; that really is just a whole different thing.) It'll be a bit of a clusterfuck and the rankings per se will probably not mean much but it would hopefully generate an interesting canon. Obviously at the end we can list/rank the features and shorts separately as well. Plus including shorts will give morbs more to be peeved about.

What are some examples of brit films? Other than the Carry On series and uh I guess there was a Mr. Bean movie?

I said upthread I'd be interested indoing a Brit film poll, though if someone else wants to do it...

As for eligibility, I guess that could lead to some interesting discussions http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/decades.html and http://film.britishcouncil.org/home-page would go some way to sorting out eligibility. FWIW the BFI classes Clockwrok Orange, Third Man, Harry Potter and James Bond as British films.

Plus including shorts will give morbs more to be peeved about.

Animated? No WAY will I be around. I have no idea what my fave WB cartoons are, or are titled -- what am I, 32? I don't even know what I think about the old Disney features anymore.

Well looks like Horror's gonna wrap in a day or two and I'm still revved to run an animation poll as soon as that's over. Is anyone super eager to host rom-coms or sci fi or something and wanting priority?

I think priority would be deciding the kind of animation poll we want to run. Full features, shorts, anything goes?

I would prefer to see the rom-com one happen (it was second in this poll, after all) but there's no way I can do screengrab stuff and I'm gonna have my hands full with the Bee Gees poll anyway

My current thoughts on eligibility for an animation poll is that features, shorts, and "specials" are all eligible but episodic content (TV or OVA series or individual episodes of same) are not. It'll be a bit of an enjoyable clusterfuck of canon-building.

I like it!

xp

Psyched for the animation poll. I assume that motion capture/rotoscoping work will be eligible?

I'm definitely up for doing a Brit-film poll down the line.

My current thoughts on eligibility for an animation poll is that features, shorts, and "specials" are all eligible but episodic content (TV or OVA series or individual episodes of same) are not.

What about TV/straight-to-video movies based on TV series? I.e. standalone movies that are not episodes of a series, but are clearly part of the same franchise and continuity. For example, the separate movies that are based on the Batman/Superman/Justice League/etc animated franchise.

Still a big fan of the "most-hated movie" idea.

That poll would be a total car Crash.

Big Mommas House

I still like the idea of a detective/mystery/noir poll

I kinda wanna doa poll of screen detectives - so actors/characters, not particular films - doesn't exactly fit in here but I dunno if ilx would have the appetite for yet another ballot poll running alongside all the others.

(incl. tv series of course)

Screen detectives would be fun, for definite. Animation seems like a pretty good one - think if the romcom one does go ahead there should be a bit more breathing room between that and the general comedy one.

If we do romcoms, sci-fi and screen detectives, there's one movie I can vote for in all three!

Probably mostly kosher! Would only veto things that are really just multiple episodes of a series that aired at one point as a "movie" e.g. the Avatar: The Last Airbender finale.

Animated Creatures: ilx animation poll nomination thread (closes June 10th!)

missed this! would definitely still like to do a romance poll in the future

So ... is there any plan for a new movie ballot poll in the near future? Did we ever get a '30s poll off the ground?

do you want to kill me?

That's a loaded gun question.

team renoir

I was interested in doing a road-movie poll, but a) I made a preliminary list of films and only got up to 58; b) no one will agree on what constitutes a road movie, plus I'd argue for Taxi Driver (because Robert De Niro's a taxi driver, and he spends a lot of time on the road), at which point Eric H. will ridicule me; and c) the better the road movie, the less that stuff actually happens. So there probably wouldn't be much to discuss.

I'm for any poll, so long as I don't have to run it.

This is the first Google doc I've tried, so I'm not sure if this works or not:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_Vo7swLaeS1ZCbciqrHKrSzlOm-DozyZBi_lpKIGGtI/edit

Those are the road movies I came up with. If anyone can think of any more, please add them. If the list grew to over a 100, that might be enough for a poll. Truthfully, I think the subject falls into a grey area--too many for a click-through poll (only 50 would mean leaving off stuff), not enough for something larger.

does the beatles' 'magical mystery tour' count?

I've never seen it. If they merely do it in the road, no; it they do it on the road, yes.

Not that I'd vote for it, but you missed Duel - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067023/reference

I'm sure there are more, and I'd probably try to participate, but yeah, it's not quite a big enough genre, I don't think.

Duel, of course. I focus more on the contemplative/aimless road movies, but there are other kinds too. Anyway, I think you're right. I'll probably just split the list in two and run a couple of click-through polls.

I suppose we could always ballot poll directors.

ROMCOM poll let's do this

Now there's a category I'd even likely vote Taxi Driver in.

Yeah, I think I'm with you in my preferences, rather than being into things like (the also missing) It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Would Zabriskie Point count for this, too?

Oops, somehow missed that there were xposts there. That was to clemenza.

Ha! I was just going to point out that I like that one because somebody's already done my work for me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_UaVUPsLsM

Those fit too, emil.y. I'll throw them on the list for down the road (and please add any more you think of, same for anyone else). ("Down the road"--get it?)

I was wondering how much overlap a romcom poll would have with the big comedy poll, so I did a (very) quick scan of the Top 100. I only counted 10 that could go on both lists--allowing that I likely missed a few, there doesn't seem to be much overlap.

maybe because most romcoms are not actually funny lol

My personal preference, though, would be something along the lines of a noir/mystery/thriller poll, set up in a way that it didn't overlap with the action poll.

look, the people have spoken and romcoms got the second most votes

Forgot this was poll. I don't want to get the people mad at me.

I'm not running romcom, but somebody should.

me neither, but croup volunteered upthread...

someone shine the croup batsignal

I'm not down with romcoms, but if anyone wants to do it they should go ahead. I don't think that it should stop clemenza from running a poll that he wants to run, though.

I seem to only be able to think of road movies I dislike at the moment - another one: John Cleese's Clockwise.

http://www.healthzillion.com/image/croup-treatment.jpg

^that was meant to be a croup batsignal, not a response to emil.y

Haha, phew.

lol

No, no, no--not upset at all! I've conceded road movies wouldn't work. I'm just going to keep adding titles to my list, and do a couple of click-throughs during the summer. But I'd make sure it didn't overlap with another movie poll.

Okay, I see--batsignal.

just because the first 7 or 8 years ago didn't have a huge turnout iirc i still think revisiting the '90s would be 'fun', for lack of a better word describing a frustrating tallying process and a rollout filled with accusations of fascism, racism,, and terrible taste peppered with the odd bit of levity and screencaps.

levity + screencaps = reasons to live

hey sorry i missed the batsignal, but i wouldn't be interested in doing romcoms so much as ROMANCES in general - no reason to leave Brief Encounter or the Notebook out for not bringing the chuckles. But I wouldn't be able to do much of anything pollwise anyway until Summer.

i assume by romcoms u guys think of Rachel McAdams/Reese Witherspoon shit

you know what happens when u assume, morbz

morbz idea of a romcom is for two young lovers to sing between chico marx bits

piscesx floated the idea of a 'musical/music films' poll over on the ILM ballot thread.

seemed like a cool idea? yay? nay?

I endorse it.

cosign

my name is VG and I endorse this poll

i'd participate

I'm in.

Would be down to make some gifs or jpgs

unless zs wants to do it, that is.

I'd definitely be up for such a poll.

Would definitely vote in this one.

me three. I have opinions about musicals.

which I'm sure you all are dying to hear

Jackson Browne, Bernard Herrmann...Taxi Driver's a terrific musical.

Looking forward to the clusterfuck of 'Meet Me in St Louis' rubbing up against 'The Year Punk Rock Broke'.

Spinal Tap just edging out Singin in the Rain for top spot

we would need a lovely volunteer to run the poll.

so i've thought about running something like this for a while but i'd want to include non-movie musicals as well (tv musicals, broadway/london, etc) and i'm not totally sure how that would work

Gonna c&p my thoughts from the other thread:

How about 'dramatic narrative with music' as a definition. I for one would definitely want to be voting for Spinal Tap and Ladies & Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains as well as more traditional musicals. It wouldn't be as much fun without a certain amount of mixture, but I'm not down with documentaries being in there too.

― emil.y, Thursday, April 4, 2013 8:37 PM (15 minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

...

I realise now that my definition is pretty much any film with a soundtrack. Does it work if we make it 'dramatic narrative with diegetic songs that are central to the film's narrative'? Way to sap out all the fun of everything, emil.y.

― emil.y, Thursday, April 4, 2013 8:46 PM (6 minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

I won't be crazily upset if people do want to include documentaries and concert footage, but I prefer the idea of keeping it fictional (inclusion of a dramatic adaptation of a real life story fits this for me, as they're always pretty much fictional in the end).

Over on ILM I suggested limiting the poll to films that have had a theatrical run, so no home-video-only dealies (or films that were shown one-night-only in US theaters, like Celebration Day or the Quadrophenia documentary).

excluding music docs does seem a bit like the elephant in the room. I'm not sure there's really a common thread between say the Decline of Western Civilization and Oklahoma!

pretty much i want to vote in a poll where i can put 10 sondheim musicals on my ballot

also:

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/81766831/Batman+Brave++The+Bold+Mayhem+of+the+Music+Meister.jpg

I like the idea of throwing everything together, but I can see how it might be unwieldy.

I'd like the inclusion of music docs myself though I can't really justify this except to say because it is a thing i would enjoy

tv & broadway seems more like a token inclusion than anything - i have no problem but are they really going to get that many votes anyway?

the question that immediately came up for me was do ppl vote for particular versions? stuff like hair has multiple stagings, revivals, a movie, lots of stuff (like les miz) have all that plus multiple "live concert" type deals, etc.

it'd be kinda fun to see how a kitchen sink poll would turn out though, all the same. I like the chaos of it

idk? any ballot i made would be 90% broadway + off-broadway i think

if we can get this off the ground, i volunteer to run a singles/individual songs sister poll - ILM/ILFilms crossover!

ooh that'd be cool too!

Lol veg, I thought you were suggesting a kitchen sink drama poll instead for a second there. Quite different indeed. Chaos is fine with me for the most part, I guess I'm just thinking about how I'd settle on a ranking system for such disparate things.

haha yeah no, just kitchen-sink musical/music poll

I don't understand including things that don't have filmed versions

Yeah, I assumed this would be strictly filmy.

actually yeah now that I'm thinking about it -- mordy are u talking abt broadway shows that have been released on dvd or tv or whatever? or actual live runs of shows... because that's getting a little crazy

well

see the thing is

For an ILM poll, yeah, sure, that would be fun.

so yeah the no-films-that-haven't-had-a-theatrical-run idea is a go-er for the music-y movies poll imo. as i was blethering on about over on the other thread MOJO mag's current Top 100 Music Movies poll cheerfully threw in concert movies, docs, musicals, spoofs etc next to Pretty In Pink, Two Lane Blacktop, Easy Rider, Blow Out and suchlike. seems kinda fun.

If those are the parameters, and The Virgin Suicides and Rushmore and Boogie Nights and the like are eligible, I guarantee I will wear out my welcome within the first 15 posts.
