GMD Social Poll: Top Ten Films of 2001

[CiG]

RYM film chart

Deadline is MARCH 20th. If you need an extension just say so and it will absolutely be considered. This is usually just a soft deadline to make sure everybody doesn't become complacent.

The 1990 game started out slow but ended up being probably the biggest turn out so far. Thanks my pals.

REMEMBER for those of you who haven't seen many films from this year or in general, you can always submit lists as small as only having 5 submissions.

(I've decided to not include animated films in my lists, it's up to you if you follow suit.)

Rules:

- Please submit at least 5 films.
- First place in your rankings gets 10 points, 2nd gets 9, etcetc, 10th gets 1.
- Feel free to post more than 10, but only the top 10 will get points.
- Feel free to post less than 10, the same scoring will apply.
- Feel free not to rank your picks, in which case all ten picks will get 5.5 points.
- If you're so much of a dick that you have to post more than 10 unranked picks, the maths will be worked out.

My image? That's from Ghost World.

 

[Slammed]

Ah ok I haven't seen it.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Fantastic year. One of the best of the 2000's along with '06.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

'07 would probably be my favorite from the 2000's. Two of my all time favorite movies came out that year. Gonna be a hard one.

 

[CiG]

Ah ok I haven't seen it.

Based on a cool quirky graphic novel that kinda tapped into that whole coming-of-age 90's snarky dark humour scene.

Prelim list. Struggling to actually find 10 movies that I actually liked from 2001 tbqh. I tend to have a problem being overly dismissive of most films. I don't even like all of these movies in my prelim list, a few of them I'd consider decent, or I at least didn't switch them off midway lol.

The One
A Beautiful Mind
Memento
Mulholland Dr.
Ocean's Eleven
Freddy Got Fingered
Blow
Rush Hour 2
The Glass House
K-Pax
How High
Ichi the Killer
A Knight's Tale
Riding in Cars with Boys
Fat Girl

 

[CiG]

Mulholland Dr.
Ichi the Killer

 

[jimmy101]

Yep, those two are easily top 10 material. I'd be open to some recommendations if you know of any other 2001 films that are almost as good as those two films.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Training Day is probably gonna be my #1

 

[CiG]

Yep, those two are easily top 10 material. I'd be open to some recommendations if you know of any other 2001 films that are almost as good as those two films.

Well, I think The Man Who Wasn't There is better than both. I also really like Ali and Donnie Darko.

 

[jimmy101]

Sweet, I'll see if I can track down copies of those films in the meantime. I have friends who hoard massive collections of films.

 

[Slammed]

1. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
2. Rock Star
3. Joy Ride
4. The Man Who Sued God
5. Monsters, Inc.
6. Shrek
7. A.I. Artificial Intelligence
8. Bill Bailey: Bewilderness
9. Donnie Darko
10. The Fast and the Furious

 

[Bloopy]

So irresistibly gross and quotable. Probably the best of the retarded parody films, which may not be saying much.

Memento

is from 2000

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Scary Movie 2 is friggin' hilarious

 

[jimmy101]

is from 2000

Bugger. Really cool film that. Was also miffed that Irreversible narrowly missed out too, being released in '02.

 

[RadicalThrasher]

1. Le Pacte Des Loups (Brotherhood of the Wolf)
2. Frailty
3. Enemy at the Gates
4. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
5. Black Hawk Down
