I agree.

I'm not gonna take part in Best Indie though. Mostly because this is a rare year in which I have haven't really seen any Indies. I've been too broke spending it on watching mainstream movies and Blockbusters.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Shame
A Dangerous Method
Midnight in Paris

 

[Liam_H]

I Saw the Devil was extremely entertaining. Its on Netflix Instant so if anyone has access to that and have some time, give it a watch.

 

[obin_gam]

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
I saw the devil
Attack The Block

 

[jmc]

Midnight in Paris for me.

 

[SuperSoldier985]

Ummm, I hope people are remembering to nominate THREE movies here..assuming they've seen at least three. If not, it's gonna screw up the voting..

Anyway

Jane Eyre
Young Adult
Midnight in Paris

 

[moviedoors]

The clear winner is Bellflower. It's indie to the core too. I loved the crap out of I Saw the Devil and Attack the Block, but calling them indie? That's a stretch. Bellflower was made for mere thousands and it's the most audacious debut film I've seen in god knows how long. It's truly passionate guerilla filmmaking at its most daring and original. Joe Cornish didn't have a warrant out for his arrest and then strap a flamethrower to his back and walk through the suburbs with no permits and nothing but a prayer that the neighbors didn't call the cops. Evan Glodell did. Here's a filmmaker who took real risks, both creatively and personally, and they aren't just stunts, they're in the service of a mind blowing story with real characters. It's been about three months since I first saw it, and I'm still chewing on it. I know this is a movie I will be revisiting for years to come, breathlessly digging in to unravel it.

Bellflower, goddamnit!

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

The Tree of Life
Shame
A Separation

[Nirvana]

The Artist
Young Adult

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Poll is up! Sorry it took so long with this. It took some counting and recounting with this.

 

[obin_gam]

THis is gonna be exciting! Voted for Attack the Block

 

[SuperSoldier985]

WTF?

How in the hell am I the only one who voted for Midnight in Paris?

I thought Tree of Life, while had great acting and cinematography, was ultimately jumbled in its narrative and its thematic elements and really ended up being very underwhelming, albeit interesting to talk about.

Attack the Block, almost follows the same way--I thought it was well acted and had its own unique style and sense of its world, but I just wasn't impressed by anything in that movie.

 

[Kane52630]

I got your back, Midnight in Paris was amazing. Just watch this:

Well none of my picks made the cut, so I was completely torn between Midnight in Paris and Tree of Life. Both great movies that I loved (and I saw MiP 3 times in the theater), but I ultimately voted Tree of Life just because I couldn't get that movie out of my head weeks after I saw it.

Same here, I love Midnight in Paris as well but I was so transfixed by The Tree of Life, just the sheer boldness of Malick's vision for it, definitely one of the best cinema experiences I've had last year.
