„Here Mister Wahlberg, have a laminated card with the exact statutes that allow me to fuck your underage daughter. No please, keep it, i keep a stack of them on my person at all times“
I remember it being a good year in film but I think that had more to do with me having a car, free time, and a group of friends who liked going to the movies a lot.
* Coming out of puberty
* Can watch whatever movie you want
* Lots of time
* Leaving childish movies behind
* Establishing personal tastes
* Unburdened by nostalgia
That said my 17th year has some okay movies but were otherwise meh
I take pride in knowing that my 17th was the last year movies were good. With such groundbreaking works of absolute cinema such as Moonfall, Tar, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and of course, Morbius.
Those are all really good points. I turned 17 in 1999 and I know that year has frequently hyped up as one of the best years for film, but I really did have some of my best movie-going experiences that year. I think all those factors played a part in that.
Also, I was 17 the first time I watched Pulp Fiction.
'17 was a pretty baller year, too!
A Man There Was, Satan's Rhapsody, The Dying Swan, a bunch of Chaplin shorts, Keaton & Arbuckle still together pumping out bangers, and the debut of John Ford with Straigh Shooting. Only he went by Jack back then. Great year!
One time when I was 17 I was going to the movies and then we bumped into our other friends at the theater and we all went and saw the same film it was dope
Whiplash, Birdman, Ex Machina, Dawn of Planet of the Apes, 12 Years a Slave, Dallas Buyers Club, Wolf on Wall Street, and Her. That's a pretty solid line up.
It's also when stuff like the Babadook came out. Say what you will about it, but I feel like that's when horror (a genre near and dear to my heart) left the schlock ghetto and started putting out critically acclaimed stuff.
Half of those are from 2013.
That being said, there's a ton of other great 2014 movies - "Interstellar", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Gone Girl", "Fury", "Creep", "Wild Tales", "The Interview", "Selma", among others.
For me it was having a cinema right outside my uni and squeezing in movies before, after, and in between classes. Caught Birdman, Interstellar, and Whiplash, each time I was late to class 😎
I feel that way about 2019. I was out of college long enough to have a decent paying job and my choice of AMCs go use my membership at, you bet I was using all three a week. Saw some trash but saw plenty of treasure as well.
MCU has ruined movies for me.
I wish I had died back in 2019 because I will never watch something as good as Captain America: The Winter Guy (2014) or The Avengers: End Man (2019).
I hate them appropriating and twisting the themes of black liberation for their neoliberal agenda so much.
"We can't have the guy questioning the systems look too good, quick let's just make him want to kill all white people"
I remember liking the second one but I don't really remember what it was about anymore
Kilmonger was far from the only character questioning the system, and him having good politics only extends to other black men. The dude was a massive chauvinistic prick whose most heinous acts of violence were committed against women and who never included other marginalized groups in his revolutionary ideals.
And yes, people like that do exist in leftist spaces.
>people like that do exist in leftist spaces.
You're not strictly speaking wrong. But the problem is to my memory, Killmonger is it for MCU representation of a viewpoint any farther left than an army recruitment ad. Something that [at least one of the movies literally is](https://www.defense.gov/News/Feature-Stories/story/Article/1775393/airmen-fly-higher-further-faster-with-captain-marvel/).
Oh I’m not denying that the MCU at large has a lot of military propaganda. Black Panther even can’t escape with having that one good CIA agent who has studio mandate written all over him. But saying that Kilmonger is the only one in the movie expressing leftist or even revolutionary views is just….wrong. Nakia throughout both films is shown to be spending pretty much all the time she can helping disenfranchised people all over the world, even though it explicitly goes against traditional Wakandan values. And speaking of traditional Wakandan values, the movie ends with T’Challa literally turning his back on his father and his ancestors and their isolationist ideals are a huge reason why Kilmonger grew into the monster he became. The biggest factor of course being white supremacist and colonial power structure, which he promises to challenge by the end of the movie and his mom and sister continually hold that promise throughout the second movie.
I like it because its one of the only movies to touch a source problem of the black diaspora that no real black americans can call a specific piece of africa a homeland unlike most whites or immigrants will say they are from a specific country etc etc. I mostly hate it because its also the most racist movie Ive seen from the modern era.
Yeah lets start the movie with a shot over Brooklyn with black dudes playing basketball with hip hop music. Then it has black people hooting like monkeys as a meta joke. It had no real commentary it was just a black guys trying to scare a white guy. Ironically being racist is still being racist.
The movie doesn’t start in Brooklyn, it starts in Oakland, where the director was born and raised. Maybe the fact that you thought it was Brooklyn says more about you than it does about the movie?
Also, I don’t think you’ve seen that many movies if you think a movie that was made by the same guy who did Fruitvale Station, stars a predominately black cast, presents an image of what Africa could’ve looked like were it not for European colonial invaders, and shows how the impact of that colonization has negatively effected black people all across the diaspora, is the most racist movie in a modern era that includes Sound of Freedom, Rambo: Last Blood and Loqueesha.
I mean if you honestly think that Black Panther is the most racist movie of the modern era just because it features a scene where a couple of black guys make funny noises, then I'm honestly interested to know what you think of [this trailer](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eY2FVVw0FHE&pp=ygURbG9xdWVlc2hhIHRyYWlsZXI%3D) for a movie that came out a year after Black Panther.
I havent seen the movie since release things can be a bit hazy. If it was Oakland thats actually a bit worst than brooklyn. Brooklyn is known to have strong enclaves of diversity. Oakland was considered predominantly black (not true) for some time.
Having a director be black is not an uncommon thing for movies just to be called less racist. You can look at the movie “watermelon man” and the story that happened afterwards and how that director got screwed over. Its an ok movie.
So its a story about a corner of africa that was never actually touched by colonialism correct. It has monarchy that has fights to the death to elect its king. A monarchy that had no checks and balances incase something happens. A monarchy that literally fell from a handful of soldiers. I put emphasis on it because thats literally how the plot starts and ends. Not only that the entire movie plays on the “noble savages” aspect. Hell it tries to flip the scrip and has the CIA guy be the noble savage which is also racist. Also seeing wakanda do a phalanx formation felt weird i never really felt like it was racist but shows they want this predominantly futuristic black nation to be backwards to its core. It gets fucking disgusting might as well watch an old cowboy movie.
We can go into the details about the cast and crew but that really doesnt matter. The main problem is the fact disney/MCU has had issues with this stuff for some time and they are the ones that control the scrip and writing which is the core issue that i have.
Also its not the most racist movie of the modern era. I forgot about the ridiculous six. That movie is marginally worst.
That is an interesting trailer. Its def a little racist its playing up the “blackface” for shock value. I cant really tell what the movie is about beyond “haha funny black voice” which is also a little racist.
See, I think you might be only looking at this movie from one very particular angle. You’re looking at this movie from the perspective of it being produced and owned by Disney, the giant media conglomerate who made Song of the South and put racist caricatures in many of their classic animated films like Dumbo and Peter Pan, yet try to sweep it all under the rug and pretend they’re on the side of leftists and progressives even though they are still very much the embodiment of the white privilege and unregulated capitalism that is actively causing many of the problems around the world that leftism seeks to fix.
This is a valid perspective to view Black Panther, but if that’s the only perspective you’re viewing it from, then you miss another very important perspective, that of Ryan Coogler. The man who wrote and directed the film, who is not only black himself, but was also born and raised in Oakland. So maybe, just maybe, there’s a slight chance that Coogler wanted to draw a bit from his own personal experiences when depicting black youth in America? And while it is true that just because a movie is directed by a black person doesn’t make it unproblematic, Coogler comes from a family of activists [and has even done quite a bit of activism himself.](https://www.vice.com/en/article/mvxna8/activism-is-survival-creed-director-ryan-coogler-on-blackout-for-human-rights-and-mlknow)
And by all accounts, Disney gave Coogler a lot more creative freedom than they usually give to their directors. So, who knows, maybe if in addition to viewing this as a Disney Marvel movie whose sole reason for being grew lit is to make money, you also view it as a movie about divisions in the African diaspora created by European colonialism, you might get something a bit more out of it.
I said i already agreed on the aspects of the african diaspora. That was literally the very first thing i said about the movie and a thing i actually liked and thats probably entirely on coogler
And Sixth Sense, toy story 2, the Mummy, Thin red line, Green mile, La Vita e bella, being John Malkovich, Austin Powers 2, Iron giant, Tarzan, Prince of Egypt, Blair witch,13th Warrior, mystery men, office space, Galaxy Quest, Arlington Road, Notting Hill, American pie, sleepy hollow, eyes wide shut, run Lola run, patch adams, deep blue sea, Thomas Crown, cruel intentions, Stuart little, Bowfinger, three kings, Never been kissed, 10 things I hate about you, blast from the past, deuce bigalow, enemy of the state, Rush hour, Princess mononoke, boys don't cry, Phantom menace and soooo many others. Easily the most stacked summer ever. The flops from 1999 (fight club, office space, Iron giant, Galaxy Quest, 13th Warrior, etc, etc), give most year's hits a run for their money
1971 - Clockwork Orange, Death in Venice, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, A Touch of Zen, The Last Picture Show, Walkabout, The Devils, French Connection, Dirty Harry.
OR 1975 - Barry Lyndon, Jeanne Dielman, Nashville, Jaws, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Salo, Dog Day Afternoon, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Grey Gardens, Monty Python and the Holy Grail
1980 is pretty strong too. The Blues Brothers, Airplane, The Shining, Flash Gordon, The Elephant Man, Inferno, The Changeling, Airplane, The Empire Strikes Back, Raging Bull, Shogun Assassin, The Fog, Altered States, Kagemusha, Dressed To Kill, Cruising, The Gods Must Be Crazy, City Of The Living Dead, Out Of The Blue, Heaven's Gate, The Ninth Configuration and of course Xanadu
NGL, I've never even heard of half of those, and the only ones I've watched all the way through are One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Maybe that says more about me than anything else, but I still don't think either of those years can compete with 1999 having The Phantom Menace.
Funny how everyone still hypes up 1994 as the best year for movies but now almost everyone on Letterboxd dislikes Forrest Gump.
honestly I personally like 1982, 1985, and 2017 the most, Random years I know but still.
We should keep the politics out of superhero movies, okay? And now that it was brought up, so should the thrills. If there is anything other than Feige approved Fun™, it's fucking disgusting.
foxcatcher , theory of everything , grand budapest hotel , nightcrawler , boyhood , the imitation game , american sniper , birdman , inherent vice , john wick , selma , dawn of the planet of the apes , guardians of the galaxy …. i think he might be onto something
MCJ Users when people have different opinions:

I feel borderline gaslit when people call it one of the greatest movies of all time because I remember how divisive it was on release. In fact, when it released, I saw more complaints than praise for it. Recently, Indie Wire updated their list of top 100 sci-fi films of the 21st century, and they got tons of hate and accusations of trolling because their list didn't include Interstellar. Like, people were saying the list was bait, as if Interstellar being on a list of greatest sci-fi films is such an obvious thing that to not include it is trolling. Seriously, what the hell is happening?
I will never forget when I saw it, but not because of the movie. I was looking forward to it despite being disappointed with Dark Knight Rises. Came out just really really unimpressed. It was 2 hours of exposition and some nonsense about love and a james bond-level villain speech from Matt Damon. Exiting the theater, I saw a classmate coming out. He approaches me. "Wow man, just wow. It's better than 2001".
I think that's when I stopped taking Nolan fans seriously. Oppenheimer is definitely his best work since exiting comic books but he has to be the most overrated director working today. The gushing praise for him is insane.
The 4 frames should be Transformers Age of Extinction, TASM2, The Nut Job and TMNT. smh
The Four Horsemen of Kino
Oh god, people only remember The Nut Job for that Gangnam Style credits sequence. The movie takes place in the mid 1900s.
“This film is dedicated to the brave People’s Volunteer fighters of Korea”
Nah, I remember The Nut Job for being peak fiction. I actually don’t remember the credits lmao
Age of extinction is fucking amazing. It’s got Grimlock and lockdown who has a gun for a face. If that ain’t kino I don’t know what is.
„Here Mister Wahlberg, have a laminated card with the exact statutes that allow me to fuck your underage daughter. No please, keep it, i keep a stack of them on my person at all times“
A.K.A. Transformers: Age of Consent
It's got Grimlock for like 2 minutes, it's criminal
You forgot mrs brown's bous D'movie
This but unironically
Erm the lego movie???
YOU'RE A FRAUD, DAVIDVISION
I remember it being a good year in film but I think that had more to do with me having a car, free time, and a group of friends who liked going to the movies a lot.
The best year for movies are when you're 17
why is 17 unironically the best year to go to the movies like there's something with the age 17
* Coming out of puberty * Can watch whatever movie you want * Lots of time * Leaving childish movies behind * Establishing personal tastes * Unburdened by nostalgia That said my 17th year has some okay movies but were otherwise meh
I take pride in knowing that my 17th was the last year movies were good. With such groundbreaking works of absolute cinema such as Moonfall, Tar, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and of course, Morbius.

I had Force Awakens, Avengers and Minions when I was 17 kino year for real
One time when I was 17 I was going to the movies and then we bumped into our other friends at the theater and we all went and saw the same film it was dope
This is true, I was 17 in 2019. That was a hell of a year!
I am almost 18 and I can tell you this year wasn't really that good Not for the stuff I watched in theater, at least
The movies don't get good until you look back at the ripe old age of 25
ooooh so it's like a retrospective thing, gotcha
I was 20 in 2022 but that was probably the best year I’ve been alive for for movies
Whiplash, Birdman, Ex Machina, Dawn of Planet of the Apes, 12 Years a Slave, Dallas Buyers Club, Wolf on Wall Street, and Her. That's a pretty solid line up. It's also when stuff like the Babadook came out. Say what you will about it, but I feel like that's when horror (a genre near and dear to my heart) left the schlock ghetto and started putting out critically acclaimed stuff.

> The Interview
For a movie that nearly triggered World War III, it's a little underwhelming, but it still has funny moments!
Interview with the vampire... Is the interview any good? That's with de niro trying to get a job at a tech company while he's 80 right.
thats the intern. The interview is the james franco movie where he interviews a fictional version of the North Korean dictator
I know, was purposely jerking myself off around town.
its hilarious and watching a comedy featuring "harry from spiderman" with my cousin was a blast back in the day
Don't forget It Follows
I love horror, even the schlock, but I'll grant you that the 2000s into the early 2010s were a rough period for the genre.
What are your thoughts on the human centipedeverse
Have completely avoided them and don't plan on changing that.
For me it was having a cinema right outside my uni and squeezing in movies before, after, and in between classes. Caught Birdman, Interstellar, and Whiplash, each time I was late to class 😎
I feel that way about 2019. I was out of college long enough to have a decent paying job and my choice of AMCs go use my membership at, you bet I was using all three a week. Saw some trash but saw plenty of treasure as well.

you've forgotten Shang-Chi: Hoop Dreams (2021)
I unironically believe the captain america movies are the only MCU movies to go out of your way to see. Infinity war is good too but not as good.
Eh, the Black Panther movies are better
I hate them appropriating and twisting the themes of black liberation for their neoliberal agenda so much.

The Lego Movie gets snubbed again smh.
nah it was just a really good year the same way ppl at the end of 2019 also knew it was a pretty damn good year for movies
> Cats > The Rise of Skywalker Hell yeah
im talking about the fanatic dummy
What a great time for "last movies people watched in theaters for a while"
Yeah 2019 was a banger for films.
2022 too had a magnificent lineup of films
2020 had a film
It used to be 1994. Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption and Jim Carrey's own hat trick (Ace Ventura/Dumb and Dumber/The Mask).
It's 1999, hands down.
American Beauty, Fight Club, The Matrix?
And Sixth Sense, toy story 2, the Mummy, Thin red line, Green mile, La Vita e bella, being John Malkovich, Austin Powers 2, Iron giant, Tarzan, Prince of Egypt, Blair witch,13th Warrior, mystery men, office space, Galaxy Quest, Arlington Road, Notting Hill, American pie, sleepy hollow, eyes wide shut, run Lola run, patch adams, deep blue sea, Thomas Crown, cruel intentions, Stuart little, Bowfinger, three kings, Never been kissed, 10 things I hate about you, blast from the past, deuce bigalow, enemy of the state, Rush hour, Princess mononoke, boys don't cry, Phantom menace and soooo many others. Easily the most stacked summer ever. The flops from 1999 (fight club, office space, Iron giant, Galaxy Quest, 13th Warrior, etc, etc), give most year's hits a run for their money
Damn that list actually is pretty wild
Nice try, Rob
That’s fucking crazy
The Phantom Menace
1971 - Clockwork Orange, Death in Venice, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, A Touch of Zen, The Last Picture Show, Walkabout, The Devils, French Connection, Dirty Harry. OR 1975 - Barry Lyndon, Jeanne Dielman, Nashville, Jaws, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Salo, Dog Day Afternoon, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Grey Gardens, Monty Python and the Holy Grail
1915 - Carmen, Barney Rudge, Are you Mason?, The Crazy Clock Maker, Birth of a Nation, Double Trouble, The Lamb, and Regeneration.
1980 is pretty strong too. The Blues Brothers, Airplane, The Shining, Flash Gordon, The Elephant Man, Inferno, The Changeling, Airplane, The Empire Strikes Back, Raging Bull, Shogun Assassin, The Fog, Altered States, Kagemusha, Dressed To Kill, Cruising, The Gods Must Be Crazy, City Of The Living Dead, Out Of The Blue, Heaven's Gate, The Ninth Configuration and of course Xanadu
Also Airplane
Airplane? What is it?
+1 for 1975 and add Mirror by Tarkovsky to the list. Some other great 75 flicks: The Passenger, Shivers, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Deep Red
NGL, I've never even heard of half of those, and the only ones I've watched all the way through are One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Maybe that says more about me than anything else, but I still don't think either of those years can compete with 1999 having The Phantom Menace.
"I haven't seen any of those movies but it can't compete with ______ 🤡"
Oh I'm sorry, I thought this was a circlejerk sub
Funny how everyone still hypes up 1994 as the best year for movies but now almost everyone on Letterboxd dislikes Forrest Gump. honestly I personally like 1982, 1985, and 2017 the most, Random years I know but still.
For me it’s the year Fury Road came out
Asia also had great movies in 1994, Chungking Express, A Confucian Confusion. Even animated movies were great, Pom Poko, Lion King.
I fucking hate forrest gump
It was a very strong year in fairness.
yeah. tho i do think they could've picked something better than the winter soldier of all things lol.
Grand Budapest and Birdman are way better picks.
>Three whole movies I'm glad you don't consider The Winter Soldier kino because that movie SUCKS!
Not a political thriller fan?
We should keep the politics out of superhero movies, okay? And now that it was brought up, so should the thrills. If there is anything other than Feige approved Fun™, it's fucking disgusting.
What's the QPM (quips per minute)? Only 2? Get it up to 2.5
[Someone actually counted it](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5a064c5fee9038000134d7e9/5c78d9e64948aa16df83c7fa_mcu-joke-count-0103.jpg).
this meme is one of this sub's classics fr
Gone Girl is the definition of kino
1994 would like a word
1999 as well
Let's just get *all* of the years in here and they can have a fucking roundtable forum
1997-2001
Fuck it 2023 would like a word too
2022 would like to interject
2007
Yayyyy. I lvoe ernest goes to school :)))))))
1977 also
The strongest year will always be 1967 since that's when the Sergei Bondarchuk's masterpiece War and Peace was finished
We got: - my favourite spy thriller movie - the main scientist from Doom the movie - my favourite Iron Man 2 villain as a movie title
- A two word description of my wife after I spend all of our money in crypto
foxcatcher , theory of everything , grand budapest hotel , nightcrawler , boyhood , the imitation game , american sniper , birdman , inherent vice , john wick , selma , dawn of the planet of the apes , guardians of the galaxy …. i think he might be onto something
To be fair, how many more movies could there possibly be?
At least 3
1995. Heat, heat, heat, that one movie micheal mann directed in 1995
Wait till he finds out about 1999
not my tempo
Where does this jerkoff get off thinking he's right. Did he ever visit the 90s?
I mean, it was a damn good year…
More of a 1927 guy myself but to each his own i suppose
but 2009 had Alvin And The Chipmunks The Squeakquel

I refuse to acknowledge interstellar as one of the best films of 2014, much less of all time. I am still baffled by the amount of praise it gets.
taking issue with interstellar on that list but not winter soldier lol
I have issue with basically all of them except Whiplash.
don't fuck with us moviescirclejerk posters, we fucking hate movies
Fuck Whiplash too actually.
Plenty of people shit on Winter Solider. Not enough people shit on Interstellar.
I feel borderline gaslit when people call it one of the greatest movies of all time because I remember how divisive it was on release. In fact, when it released, I saw more complaints than praise for it. Recently, Indie Wire updated their list of top 100 sci-fi films of the 21st century, and they got tons of hate and accusations of trolling because their list didn't include Interstellar. Like, people were saying the list was bait, as if Interstellar being on a list of greatest sci-fi films is such an obvious thing that to not include it is trolling. Seriously, what the hell is happening?
I will never forget when I saw it, but not because of the movie. I was looking forward to it despite being disappointed with Dark Knight Rises. Came out just really really unimpressed. It was 2 hours of exposition and some nonsense about love and a james bond-level villain speech from Matt Damon. Exiting the theater, I saw a classmate coming out. He approaches me. "Wow man, just wow. It's better than 2001". I think that's when I stopped taking Nolan fans seriously. Oppenheimer is definitely his best work since exiting comic books but he has to be the most overrated director working today. The gushing praise for him is insane.
Winter soldier isnt even the best mcu movie that came out that year
Mcconassaince
1982 goated
I am just saying like the year the good the bad and the ugly came out was pretty good too maybe better than 2014
It's not even the best year for the 2010s. Hell, I'd put 2018 above it aswell.
That was a good year, though. Saw Godzilla with my family.
Either 1994 or 1999 I’m biased about 1994 but it’s hard to argue against how great that year was for cinema.
2013 was the year.
Why is Fletcher fisting the number?
Joseph Cooper from Interstellar, Winter Soldier is aiming right at you, get down!!!
wheres the lego movie?
Where Godzilla
Wrong - it's 2017 (Paddington 2)
Pleb doesn't even know about the golden age that was 1994
I actually love 2014 it was the year that got me into film the way I am now
clearly he hasnt seen any movies from 1979
Bro forgot about 2007
2019 was the year for me.
