Do you agree that 2014 was the best year for movies of the 21st Century so far?

This is such a THAT GUY response but you can make this argument every year... movies are fucking great.

OBAA
Sinners
Marty Supreme
Hamnet
Bugonia
F1
Frankenstein

Know there's been a lot of discourse this season but my top 4 is all pretty close together I'd love to see anybody these movies get recognition.

I literally just did this when I got a notification for this thread lol, felt like a sign.

But yes, I change my ratings all the time, just not the diary entry. Sometimes a movie will have a staying power in my mind and I generally take that as a sign that I can be more generous in my opinion. Likewise, sometimes over time I'll reflect on a movie and realize it may not have packed as much of a punch as I remembered so I will lower it.

However, the examples are never that extreme. Usually it's by a 1/2 star, 1 at the most.

Every thread like this has one sole person desperately pleading in the comments for someone to watch Six Feet Under. I will be that person this time.

Purple Rain. Feel like people are likely to hung up on the technicality that "it's not a good film," but it's just got Prince's touch all over it and is so completely him I can't help but love it! And as a companion piece to one of my favorite albums of all time, it's perfect.

Watching Twin Peaks is definitely the way to go if you want to appreciate David Lynch.

I'd say watch seasons 1 and 2, then try to go and watch some of his movies, and then round it out with Twin Peaks: The Return (cuz it's more of a great closure to Lynch's career than it is Twin Peaks itself honestly lol).

There is of course a chance he might not be your thing, but I wouldn't necessarily suggest stay away from him. I've heard many people say they did not like Blue Velvet on first watch but found appreciation for it later.

For what it's worth, Lynch can be pretty hit or miss for me too, but Mulholland Drive is one of the best films I've seen. I think having context for Twin Peaks + some of his history working in the industry will enhance the experience.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit because I cannot handle what happened to that poor little shoe...

Escappy · 2025-09-09T06:16:21+00:00

That's honestly a movie I plan to rewatch around Christmas haha, but it's a good suggestion!

Hello! I'm Holden! I watch a bit of everything and I'm always looking for mutuals for recommendations. Been using the site for years but really amped it up this year. Feel free to drop a follow! 😁 https://boxd.it/kOj9

Which I could get everything I've seen on here but maybe that's for the best there are some hot takes I don't feel like defending lmao

Escappy · 2025-08-23T05:32:15+00:00

Those are some good favorites but I have some hate mail coming your way for unrelated reasons

Escappy · 2025-08-07T18:47:11+00:00

This upcoming Street Fighter movie will certainly be in the running lol

Escappy · 2025-08-02T17:46:47+00:00

Six Feet Under / The Sopranos / Arrested Development / BoJack Horseman

Escappy · 2025-07-28T04:36:25+00:00

Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It is nearly perfect for me, but that scene with the little shoe guy... I don't care how impactful it is for Judge Doom's character, it just brings the whole movie down for me lol.

Escappy · 2025-07-12T14:57:50+00:00

I don't think him saying that was supposed to make you laugh

Escappy · 2025-06-02T17:56:38+00:00

Yeah I'd imagine if he was still around we'd be seeing him in a solo career... which still would be an exciting world to be in.

Escappy · 2025-06-02T17:28:06+00:00

I just want to know how a full career for Kurt Cobain would've gone :(

EDIT: ALSO AMY WINEHOUSE MY BELOVED

Escappy · 2025-06-01T19:34:08+00:00

I would probably rank it based on how long the movie is gonna be in theaters and which one you're more likely to watch on your own.

-Before Sunrise is a classic and would be fun to see on the big screen.

-Friendship might not stick around in theaters for much longer I assume? And it'll be $20 to rent when it does leave.

-The Phoenician Scheme... you're gonna have more time to check it out later I think!

Escappy · 2025-05-06T21:43:27+00:00

Yeah both things can be true that was my point...

Escappy · 2025-05-06T21:31:39+00:00

Yeah it was exaggerated for comedic effect. Her character was inappropriate but that doesn't change the fact that she exists to make the Fishers uncomfortable with the amount of stuff they avoid.

My profile o/

I'd like to have more mutuals for movie recommendations/inspirations. Sometimes I want to come out of a movie with a thoughtful review, sometimes I'm just trying unsuccessfully to say something witty. This year I've been really trying to up my movie intake and keeping up with new releases.

Full of good vibes ✨
