It's because they're (mostly) rubbish.

@Goffe I worry for Boy.

I abandoned hope a long time ago, and I happier for it.

 

You should too.

 

The Plebs of the Box Office Forum just don't seem to enjoy high art like Boy or Wilderpeople.

Dredd
written by: Alex Garland, based on characters created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra
directed by: Pete Travis
starring: Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, Lena Headey 
 

  

Number of first-place votes: 0 

IMDB synopsis: In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug Slo-Mo. 

Writer Alex Garland first began work on the script for DREDD in 2006, although the movie wasn’t formally announced in development until 2008. Garland worked through his first draft during the post-production period of SUNSHINE, and finished it while serving as executive producer on 28 WEEKS LATER.

A group of international financial partners put up about 45 million to cover the production and the movie was shot and produced in South Africa. The film ran into some minor controversy during post-production when the LA Times reported that director Travis had been barred from the edit bays following a series of creative disagreements between him and producers and other executives. Garland took over the post-production process and felt he had made enough of a contribution to seek a co-directing credit (unusual because he had never directed a feature before). Travis had been removed from participating in editing but still was monitoring the process, and he and Garland managed to resolve their immediate disagreements and put out a joint statement that they had agreed on an “unorthodox collaboration” before production began. Garland withdrew his co-director claim and Travis remains the sole directing credit on the finished product.

Random critic comment: “It's savage, beautiful and loads of fun.” —Joel Arnold, NPR 

Random RTM comment: “It was a fucking blast. I seriously haven't walked out of the theater grinning like that in a LONG time. It was just really well made all around.” — @Ozymandias
 

 

 

I only saw two films for this list so that I could get started on the 1987 list, but if I saw a third then Dredd would be it. I'll get around to seeing it some time.

Consider this a reminder to start hunting down those 1987 movies.

Has a decision been made on whether we're going with the actual first theatrical date release of the film or once again just the US release date?

[CoolioD1]

i didn't realize Tampopo's US release date was in '87. that's a delightful film! people should watch that.

You and Jake Gittes convinced me. We'll go with first public release, international or otherwise. But something to keep in mind: festival releases are not the official release, no matter what IMDB sometimes says. But hopefully this should clear up some confusion. 

[CoolioD1]

oh in that case i should go fuck myself. don't watch tampopo guys. wait for the 1985 list in 2025.

Great!  So Red Sorghum and Wings Of Desire qualify.

No. I saw it got added on amazon  prime recently though

[Arlborn]

 

1987's list  should actually be a lot easier for me than 2012's. There are plenty of clear cut winners in there from a quick glance.

It's not too late. We can show them the light.

 

When we do a redux of this in 2027, maybe they will learn.

if i could just have one scene from a film on my list instead of whole motion pictures this scene from lost boys would be my #1. the whole film is "ok". but this though.
