HSX Players Best of the Century Poll - Post II

Posted by: Moviesnob on Jul 07, 09:04

If you've got a list, now is the time to post! We've got 16 so far which is a fantastic start. please respond to this post with your favorites and here is the original post!

Here's how this will work. I've created a google doc to track all the submissions but you can follow up this post with your submission.

The submission rules are pretty simple - you can list as many films as you want but you do have to pick your ten favorites and list them in order in this format (these are mine and year is imdb year):

1) In the Mood for Love (dir. Kar Wai Wong, 2000)

2) Kill Bill Vol 1. (dir. Quentin Tarantino, 2003)

3) Mulholland Dr. (dir. David Lynch, 2001)

4) Battle Royale (dir. Kinji Fukasaku, 2000)

5) Enter the Void (dir. Gaspar Noe, 2009)

6) Spring Breakers (dir. Harmony Korine, 2012)

7) Inglorious Basterds (dir. Quentin Tarantino, 2009)

8) Let the Right One In (dir. Tomas Alfredson, 2008)

9) Zodiac (dir. David Fincher, 2007)

10) Observe and Report (dir. Jody Hill, 2009)

I'll use the imdb year as the defining method to prove it belongs to this century.

I'll enter the titles into the google spreadsheet and keep a running total (this way I can make sure the titles are all uniform which will allow the calculations to be automatic). I'll post once a week on Wed to have a place where everyone can jump in and I'll keep submission open at least until the end of July.

Please keep in mind this is for fun and discussion and that everyone's tastes are equal. You are free to post your least favorites and if I can get enough I'll track those too. 

Have at it!

My top 10 to be added St Blink Jul 07, 14:24

is there any consensus or trends from the data so far? {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 07, 11:32

i'm holding off totaling things until i get all the lists (tab two is the rollups). at a glance, its skewing more niche than blockbuster {nm} Moviesnob Jul 07, 11:37

Noice, looking forward to seeing it all in the end. I watched a couple from the lists of others already. Thanks again for making the poll. {nm} tatoufan Jul 07, 15:32

Here's my list. second gary Jul 07, 14:29

Omitted honourables from 2000: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; You Can Count on Me; Maelstrom. {nm} second gary Jul 07, 14:42

Love you can count on me, nice call. {nm} journey Jul 07, 22:01

Spirited Away, classic. I had a hard time bumping that one off my list. {nm} tatoufan Jul 07, 15:39

I left documentaries off my list, but Stories We Tell is such a beautiful film. great list gary. {nm} lobogotti Jul 07, 19:33

It reminds me, at least in the ending, of. . . (spoilers) second gary Jul 07, 21:02

nice list. I am also a huge fan of Incendies. I haven been crazy about his work since this one, but his and his two previous films Moviesnob Jul 07, 19:55

I haven't seen "Polytechnique" yet, but "Maelstrom" and "Sicario" are both longlisters. second gary Jul 07, 20:56

he's hit and miss for me. Tom at the Farm is a good entry film. I really wanted to like Sicario and think it was well made Moviesnob Jul 07, 22:06

Do we need the directors on the list? Because I don't remember who directed most of my movies {nm} JDolphin Jul 07, 18:15

nope {nm} Moviesnob Jul 07, 18:51

My List ExeterMac Jul 07, 20:42
