J.T. Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Speaking of making time. I need to finally sit down and watch Blue Ruin (2013) which I am told is one of the best get you some get back movies since Oldboy and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. That's high praise, so I am expecting a lot from this movie and hope not to be disappointed. Edited March 27, 2020 by J.T.

EVA Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Man, I was perusing the decade and just realized that 2014 is probably the GOAT year for populist genre action movies. Off the top of my head, you had: Marvel’s two best movies (Winter Soldier, GOTG) The best X-Men movie (DOFP) The best Planet of the Apes movie (Dawn) Edge of Tomorrow The first John Wick Snowpiercer

Honestly - I am not gonna fight too hard if you want to call it a movie but I don't think anyone else is going to vote for it as a movie so you might be wasting your time. 1

You are spot on with GOTG, but you seem to have misspelled Black Panther and it came out in 2018, not 2014. Edited March 27, 2020 by J.T.

Honestly - I am not gonna fight too hard if you want to call it a movie but I don't think anyone else is going to vote for it as a movie so you might be wasting your time. I'm half-joking. I continue to be deeply amused by some cinephiles loving the smell of David Lynch's farts so much that they'll pretend an 18-hour mini-series is actually a movie. On the other hand, it's definitely my favourite piece of media from the last decade and I'm tempted to throw it on the list. But I probably won't because it's TV at the end of the day.
EVA Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) On the other hand, OJ: MADE IN AMERICA won an Oscar, despite primarily being a TV miniseries, so nobody forget to put that one on your list. Or to watch it, if you haven’t. Edited March 27, 2020 by EVA 1

Without rewatching stuff my preliminary top 5 might be (or thinking through every film I've seen). Hide contents 1. The Master 2. Tree of Life 3.The Social Network 4. Mad Max: Fury Road 5. Before Midnight Like you, my top 5 is pretty much set: 1. An Elephant Sitting Still (Ban, 2018) 2. Songs My Brothers Taught Me (Zhao, 2015) 3. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (Leitch, 2019) 4. Evil Bong 420 (Band, 2015) 5. Son of Saul (Nemes, 2015)

RIPPA Posted March 28, 2020 Author Posted March 28, 2020 And now I am ranking all the movies I watched in the three years since I last visited

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has a better chance ;). Snap judgments.. To me, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a top spot contender. 21 out of 23 films came from Marvel Studios Marvel Cinematic Universe this decade. I'm thinking 7 make my ballot. Poor decade for DC. Fox was hit and miss with X-Men. The highs: Logan and Deadpool with real lows in X-Men: Apocalypse and X-Men: Dark Phoenix. I preferred 1990-1999 and 2000-2009 to the last decade.

The Natural Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 I'm in a small minority that doesn't rate either Guardians of the Galaxy movies. 1
The Natural Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Do DVD films like Batman: Under The Red Hood (2010) and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (2012-2013) count? The latter did, ditto for Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000). Edited March 28, 2020 by The Natural
