The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown

15. Coraline (2009) - DNP
16. Kung Fu Hustle (2004) - DNP
17. Identity (2003) - DNP

No, but I'm pretty sure that @Yoda can do something about that.

Thumbs up for Inside Man

There you go...

If you don't mind, where did Talk to Her finish? I know it was on at least three or four ballots, a couple of them up high.

You mean that even the relatively popular within the crowd Match Point didn't get support?
uhm

As others have asked and been delivered, I'd like to know how these fared (three films from my ballot that were voted by others as well):

Antichrist
Dog Soldiers
A Tale of Two Sisters

Thanks in advance.

I can answer this one - 113th according to Thief some pages back now.
Not sure how many points it garnered in total but I gave it 17.

Looking at the posted ballots, I'm not seeing Mary and Max. on any of them but mine. What was its score?

Re: spreadsheet/total results. I should be able to do that Monday or Tuesday.

Figured it had to be close.

Makes sense, that’s what happened with Dunkin too. Krispy Kreme it is these days.

You know, you're right about that. Allen had some very fine films in the early 21st Century. Especially notable were Match Point and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

I watch and enjoy all of his films, but none of then made my top 10 (I only posted 10).

Unfortunately Allen is still pretty much blacklisted by most of the SJ crowd in the U.S.-- ironically the same group who never gets tired of shrieking about the Hollywood studio blacklist from the '50s.

Here is an interesting interview of Wallace Shawn, who starred in Allen's recent Rifkin's Festival. He shines some light on his snubbing:

Like Yoda said, he'll work on the spreadsheet next week. In the meantime, if I have time, I can answer about specific placements...

359. Talk to Her (2 ballots, 16 points)

162. Antichrist (3 ballots, 39 points)
208. Dog Soldiers (2 ballots, 28 points)
235. A Tale of Two Sisters (3 ballots, 24 points)

118. Napoleon Dynamite (4 ballots, 50 points)

199. Mary and Max (2 ballots, 30 points)

I don't think this equivalency holds up. It is one thing to be blacklisted for political beliefs to the point that you can't find any work in the industry, and another thing to be "blacklisted" by the allegations that have surrounded Allen's life. And I use quotation marks because, although I agree that certain circles still shun him, Allen's career has hardly been affected by it.

As was said here, he has remained a very prolific director, releasing an average of one film per year; 20 in the new millennium alone, with those earning nominations for 9 Oscars (3 wins), 5 BAFTA's (2 wins), and 16 Golden Globes (3 wins). During that time, he has worked with artists of the caliber of Scarlett Johansson, Penélope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, and many others.

Some cool art to spruce up the thread...
