Palme d'Or Poll #1 - 00s
« on: April 19, 2008, 01:47:36 PM »
NCFOM - but really - only because I had to pick...it has been a rough decade. :-\

Well, it is the Oscars. Someone do a poll with the Palme D'Or winners.

I've only seen but a handful, but among those I would say The Pianist.
-Le Chiffre: You changed your shirt, Mr Bond. I hope our little game isn't causing you to perspire.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

The ones I've seen ranked:

1. L'Enfant
2. The Pianist
3. 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 days
4. The Wind That Shakes The Barley
5. Fahrenheit 9/11

They're all very good.

I'm eager to watch all the other ones (Dancer in the Dark is somewhere around here).

I've only seen 4 so far from this decade:

1. Elephant
2. The Pianist
3. Dancer in the Dark

Fahrenheit 9/11 is the only other one but I don't think it's that great nor deserving of the Palme D'or. 

I am going to see L'Enfant and The Wind That Shakes the Barley for my upcoming Cannes Film Festival marathon this coming May during the festival.  Hopefully as well as 4 Months, 3 Weeks, & 2 Days if it's out on DVD.

I've only seen three, but only one of those I think is any good.

1. Wind That Shakes The Barley
2. Fahrenheit 9/11
3. Dancer In The Dark

The polls results are already more balanced than the Oscar one.
