July 10, 20232 yr I will say 1999 was the apex of human civilization like the Matrix posits. It’s been all downhill since.
July 10, 20232 yr 90s we’re excellent for movies throughout. Shit like Fargo or Slingblade or Casino were just expected and big dollar things were like Saving Private Ryan and Braveheart. Nothing compares.
July 10, 20232 yr I'm pretty sure Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump and Jurassic Park were all in theaters at the same time in 1994.

July 10, 20232 yr Hopefully the super hero movies and safe remakes and sequels bombing at the box office will lead Hollywood to pull back on the budgets and strive for quality again soon. They got lazy with every hero movie and sequel setting records. Although this year guardians 3 was solid and across the spider verse was great but the spider verse movies are an original take on the genre so not cookie cutter.
July 10, 20232 yr What year did mighty ducks come out? That was my favorite year but I like that you included the wood because I love that movie
July 10, 20232 yr 1939 would like to have a word with all of you.

Just a few on my list.
July 10, 20232 yr 2007: There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men, Michael Clayton, Assassination of Jesse James, Zodiac, Superbad, Hot Fuzz, Ratatouille, 3:10 to Yuma, Once. The first three listed are 3 of my 5 favorite movies this century. Hot Fuzz and Superbad are probably 2 of my 5 favorite comedies this century. Pretty great year.

July 10, 20232 yr I was born in '85, so I missed out on a lot of the more adult movies of the 90's until I was older. But over the years I have come to realize that the late 80's through 90's was truly a renaissance of movie making. If they had the technology we have now to make the movies they made back then...well they probably would have used it as a crutch like they do today.

July 10, 20232 yr Look at the movies that opened the same weekend Weird Al's UHF did. And that's just one weekend in '89. Not even the whole year.

Just a few on my list. The Hound of Baskervilles (1939) Pretty weak, compared to pre-code Hollywood mysteries and compared to the book, which was itself a little uneven. I guess that's because it's mostly British with Basil Rathbone being the lead as Sherlock Holmes. The book review, crosspost: I like mysteries pretty decent and I like pre-code Hollywood movies, so I've read and watched a lot of Dashiel Hammett, but have actually never read or seen anything except the very common and popular culture references of Sherlock Holmes e.g. pipe, hat, Baker St., "Elementary, Dear Watson", etc. So I picked up and read this and it was pretty decent. Reminded me of good mix of late Victorian literature (a little Frankenstein) and Romanticism (Edgar Allen Poe/Goth/Rue Morgue). All in all, I enjoyed how it was written, very sportingly and articulated as I guess you'd wont from an 1890's English gentleman but even in small doses the arrogance of Holmes is overbearing IMO
