your favorite movies (of all time)

Speed Racer?!?

a really incredible film

also

=13. THE END OF EVANGELION

fucking hell yeah

(That's on the edited list, fwiw.)

anime, like TV, should be kept forever separate from cinema.

some movies are animated

morbs that is a wild take

(That's on the edited list, fwiw.)

oh yeah, i'm aware, it's just surprising that the edited list resembles so much of my taste

Only Looney Tunes and Stan Brakhage count.

it would seem that a number of these "voters" may not be familiar with female directors aside from Akerman and Denis

God i love PC box-checking sooooooo much

It's back:

ok guys, it's that time again: the 2019 SHMIGHT & SHMOUND POLL, film twitter's 4th annual poll of the best movies ever made. doing things different this year... feel free to still tweet out your ballots, but PLEASE submit them here: https://t.co/E9hNkTlnB6

terrible voting population

He said he's already gotten 1,000 ballots so definitely this year's results are going to be terrible. But I did my part:

DAISY KENYON (Preminger)
UN CHANT D'AMOUR (Genet)
DUCK AMUCK (Jones)
THE LADIES' MAN (Lewis)
LA JETÉE (Marker)
UNSERE AFRIKAREISE (Kubelka)
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (Hooper)
A BRIGHTER SUMMER DAY (Yang)
TASTE OF CHERRY (Kiarostami)
OUTER SPACE (Tscherkassky) https://t.co/lIm9irYjty

I didn't look at what I voted for the prior year, and am surprised there are 4 repeaters.

Can I vote in this poll if I haven't used my twitter account?

i'm tempted to do this but tbh i use ilx to talk about movies more than i use twitter

the Twitter generation *is* going to ruin Lynch for me with their smothering obsession

Yeah, this.

predictably, lotta lynch, lotta pta

Given there were, I understand, more than 1,000 ballots this year, these results aren't anywhere near the disaster I was anticipating.

I know it’s something that frustrates a lot of people who used to get excited about the list, which grows less idiosyncratic as more people vote. I really hope you still find some value in this year’s list. At the very least, even if the top 50 to 100 look like what you’d expect, there are surprises as you go deeper down the list. It’s very exciting to me every year to see new films find an audience: this year, for example, the recently-restored Japanese queer classic Funeral Parade of Roses did extremely well. Yes, your Dark Knights and Shawshanks are here, but so is Speed Racer, Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, and Raul Ruiz.

end of eva at 56 - you love to see it

Ha, I don't mind that.

For a couple days last month it was the best film ever.

but so is Speed Racer, Rob Zombie’s Halloween II

wow, i feel represented!

I'm OK with there only being one Lynch in the top 10 this time around, instead of ... was it three last year?

surprised the lords of salem isn't on the alternate 300, it def will be next year given the continual rise in zombie's stock ime

My favourite film dropped from 14 to 154 in the last two years. -_-

don't blame me, i voted for it

About half of the films in the top 50 that I like a lot (and even love) don't belong anywhere near the top 50 films of all-time.

where i ask you is the work of Roscoe Arbuckle?

Who cares?

boomer twitter has its own poll iirc

Is fatty arbuckle a boomer icon?

has better name recog than Brian De Palma i bleeve

can't argue with the top 3 films in this, they are among my favorites

I'm happy that The Passion of Joan of Arc was loved so much

would have rated Mirror over Stalker

In the Mood For Love and Jeanne Dielman in the top 10 is great imo

haven't seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre yet, and still haven't found a way to watch Rohmer's Le Rayon Vert

If you can follow the French, Le Rayon Vert is on Youtube legally right now on the channel ARTE Cinema. Unfortunately without English subs. It is the greatest movie.
