[Contempt]

All good options... but goddamn, each year has more awesome movies than the sum total of the years 2010-2025

WTF happened to Hollywood?



...you know, before it burned down, obviously.

 

[Adamant]

Still gonna go with 1984. But you can't go wrong with any of them.

I would argue "Hollywood" is the issue there not so much cinema as a whole as the former really became obsessed with massive blockbusters above everything and gradually killed off most of its mid budget stuff with more ambition to it outside of it. Really that process started a long time ago as well, just look at the late David Lynch for example who progressively needed to look outside of Hollywood to get his films funded(mostly French money).

I mean a lot of the best cinema has always been outside Hollywood but I think you really need to look for that now to find a lot of quality.

If you put everything together I think there have been some strong years in that period, 2014 especially stands out for me...

Under The Skin
Guardians of the Galaxy
Inherent Vice
Blue is the Warmest Colour
Whiplash
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Hard To Be A God
It Follows
The Winter Solider
Predestination
Two Days, One Night
Ida
Calvary
Gone Girl
The Duke of Burgundy
Nightcrawler
Locke
Cold In July
The Babadook
Leviathan

1982

This is going to be very close.

No I disagree, I had to figure out which years was the strongest in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s based on Sherdog votes. I didn't bother going to other decades because there are too weak compared to those decades.

I systematically just trying to find the best years. I don't know if we can just do it in one poll, it had to be done in the process that I did imo.

1994 was the most obvious year, but I had no idea anyone was going to chose 1979, 1982, 1984 or 2000.

I'm talking about the finals poll not the idea itself.

But overall I would say it could have been done in 1 poll as well

1939 as 1 option and then you have 19 more options from the 70s to 00s

But that's not as fun. All I'm saying is for the finals with 5 options is enough to determine whats the best instead of making 4 more threads with 1 less option. Kind of feels like we're beating a dead horse talking about the same topic in multiple threads lol

Idk probably just me. And I don't mean this at all disrespectfully so hopefully you don't take it that way. I would rather you make threads then not.

1999 is ridiculous for great movies.

Boys Don't Cry didn't make the top 50 of the IMFB list and it won academy awards and had multiple acting nominations.

Any Given Sunday and Go also didn't make the top 50.

Top 10-20 is pretty much entirely bangers most of which with fairly prominent pieces of pop culture. Matrix, Eyes Wide Shut, Fight Club, American Beauty American Pie, 10 Thing I hate About you... as Dana says "the list goes on and on"

That's a fair criticism. I hear yah.
