If it didn't matter everyone would consider Sorry We Missed You which just got digitally released in the US, and which is absolutely and obviously a 2019 world/uk release. But it does, and the US ilxors will consider it for 2020.

Films can be voted for in multiple years, as evidenced by the fact that films keep placing in multiple years. This is a) fine and b) fun.
― Dollarmite Is My Name (sic), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 09:04 (four years ago) link
I don't think it's that 'fun' that non-US film systematically places lower on these lists due to the parochialism of US ilxors.

It'll happen no matter what, but can we try and work against it if possible?

Fred, I get what you're saying, but no matter where you draw the lines there will be people who don't have access to films you want to vote for. Non-US films don't always march in date-solidarity either! Every ILX poll process puts great films on my radar. Surely that's the point, and not what outranks what.
― Cherish, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 14:36 (four years ago) link
That's not what I'm talking about! To be clear, I don't begrudge anyone voting for anything they have seen. I'm just tired of the US parochial bullshit where if it didn't premiere in the US, then it didn't count. We do this a few months into the next year, so there's plenty of time for 2019 films to get a 2020 US release, and if a voter is too narrow-minded to then check them out and vote for them, then fuck them.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 15:03 (four years ago) link
Works both ways though. Plenty of 2018 films didn’t get a UK release until well into 2019, no doubt some of these will get votes.
― Dan Worsley, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 15:05 (four years ago) link
It should only work like that
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 15:06 (four years ago) link
Seeing a 2018 film in 2019 and voting for it = goodSeeing a 2019 film in 2020 and voting for it = goodSeeing a 2019 film in 2020 yet not voting for it because you only care about us release = fuck you

I plan on watching Portrait of a Lady on Fire, which got a 2020 US release, now that it is available for streaming. Other 2019 films that had a 2020 US release - Sorry We Missed You, The Whistlers, Bacurau, I Was at Home But, The Wild Goose Lake, Beanpole, Corpus Christi, Bait, Zombi Child - are harder to get, and at least for me they require new subscriptions or downloading new apps on my TV. I really don't want to watch them on my laptop.

Since sic hasn't caught up yet, Dora and the Lost City of Gold is not in any streaming packages but digitally rentable everywhere from US $4.99 and you can get a Blu for $12.97 from northern New England-based book and media chain Bull Moose

I liked Bone Tomahawk and admired the placid relentlessness of Brawl In Cell Block 99 and Vaughan's performance, both of them as home viewings, but I absolutely couldn't face three hours of Mel Gibson doing Zahler without being in an audience
anyway I was on the same 20-second hold loop for 40 minutes all up yesterday, so here are devvine's picks:
Our Time (Reygadas)
Rent for $4.99 on Bezos and iTunes, buy for $7.99 from the same overlords.

Peterloo (Leigh)
Available on Bezos Prime with subscription, and on Region 2 DVD from the UK.
La Flor (Llinas)
Available on DVD in Switzerland, and Blu-Ray in France.
Vitalina Varela (Costa)
Available on DVD in the UK, and can currently be rented for home viewing via the distributor, with 50% of the price going to an independent cinema and its staff (I commend Northwest Film Forum, if anyone does this and doesn't have a local option.
The Irishman (Scorsese)
I Should Have Called It I Heard You Paint Houses is on Netflix worldwide.
To the Ends of the Earth (Kurosawa)
Available on DVD in Japan.

Family was a great overlooked comedy that was just as funny at home recently. Can't recommend it enough.
