Rio 5,088 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Lady Bird higher than Get Out, ASIB and The Shape of Water? Most overrated film of the millennium. GET OUT! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriane 21,006 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 That list is a joke And it was made by INDIEwire ? The only GGD member who can read / Credits to Celloo Deng for the profile pic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HausOfMiklaus 1,803 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 One thing we can all agree on – truly happy that Green Book isn't even nowhere near this list, and probably wasn't even uttered in the same breath as the hundreds of contenders.

Either way it ended on a tender, hopeful note in my opinion. Sounds like someone hasn't seen 28 and 26 and a denier of the sheer cultural impact, storytelling and creative achievement of Black Panther. Couldn't be me. Do not get me wrong, Magic Mike and Paddington are good movies, but i can think of other 200 movies that are way better than those two and were released after 2010. Black Panther: creative achievemente? where?, they got right the costumes, but it is not the first time i see a movie with correct african costumes. Storytelling? After his father death a man must become a king/ leader of a town/group/city/country and must fight a stranger who also deserves to be the king/leader, the group/country/city gets splited in the people that support the man and the ones that support the stranger, they fight each other and at the end the man is the winner. Wow, such a deep story that has never been made into a movie or book before. Cultural impact is not the same as Quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 There are great movies on this list The orders are screwy, but its just my opinion. I typically only look at lists like these (that are often compiled by multiple people with different tastes) as being a list of good movies people mostly agree on, then the top 10 or top 5 are the only ones seriously considered as being in any kind of order. 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know. “Storytelling”. Direction, script, cinematography, acting performance. We’re just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. Lists like these are meant to contentious after all.

La La Land had such mixed receptions that it wasn't a surprise that it eventually lost. At least LLL stole the spotlight from Moonlight. That sure made people happy. But please don't diminish the accomplish of Moonlight by saying it lost because of politics. It's a loose assumption with zero credibility. You COULD say LLL lost because of loss of interest though. Yep. La La Land is a great film but it isn't as good as Moonlight by most standards (Barry Jenkins is also just a better filmmaker than Chazelle)...plus it leans very heavily on that old Woody Allen film whose name is escaping me right now. Moonlight deserved the win. Can't believe Steve McQueen (the director, not the actor for those who don't know lol) has not a single film on this list tho...travesty. I do think this list is missing a lot of fantastic non-English language films. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Moonlight won because of the audacious campaign against La La Land and politics of SJWs. It won because of the time of Trump. In every other year where in the purpose of giving the Best Picture is about the overall quality of the film, La La Land would have won. I am not trying to diminish the impact of Moonlight with what i said. I liked that film because of its cinematography and music. Writing, sure maybe. But I am just looking at the whole 2016 debacle in an objective perspective. nostalgia’s for geeks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3ARS 4,132 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 1 “Moonlight” (Barry Jenkins, 2016) It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. - Audre Lorde Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
