Rorschach Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) What in your opinion have been the greatest years in cinema? And the worst? The most recent good year in my opinion: 2012 (Fantastic year for Blockbusters, with some really good arthouse movies) The most recent bad year in my opinion: 2011 (Mostly forgettable in both Blockbusters and Arthouse movies). Best: Rorschach- 2012 Rukaio- 1999 Ethan Hunt- 2011 Worst: Rorschach- 2011 Rukaio- 2011ish Edited September 22, 2014 by Rorschach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) What in your opinion have been the greatest years in cinema? And the worst? The most recent good year: 2012 (Fantastic year for Blockbusters, with some really good arthouse movies) The most recent bad year: 2011 (Mostly forgettable in both Blockbusters and Arthouse movies).Reverse these please. The only 2 films from 2012 that I love are TDKR and Skyfall In 2011 I loved Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Ghost Protocol, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Source Code, We Bought a Zoo, Rango, and Moneyball I give 2011 the slight edge over 2013 because the best of the best from 2011 are better than the best of the best from 2013.

rukaio101 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Off the top of my head, 1999 comes to mind for the best. Sixth Sense, Fight Club, The Matrix, Iron Giant, South Park, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Galaxy Quest? Admittedly, it also has Star Wars Episode 1, but you can't win them all. As for worst, I shall go for every year before the 1800's since film had not been invented yet. That's right. I'm going to be a smart alec. Although, then again, 2011 did have Jack and Jill... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure about worst. I'm inclined to agree with 2011 apart from Moneyball there's really nothing that stands out to me. For best I'm going to cheat a little and go with a combination of 1975 and 1976. Here's an idea of what was released in those two years Jaws, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Rocky, Network, Dog Day Afternoon, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the Man Who Would Be King, Three Days of the Condor, All the President's Men, the Bad News Bears, the Outlaw Josey Wales and Taxi Driver Edited September 22, 2014 by DAR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Disney Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 1939 definitely has a case to be made as the year of the movie. It might be the greatest year in cinema ever. Also, 1992, 1993, and 1994 were all just great years in film. If you look at the films released in those years, there are just plenty of wonderful films. Honestly, you can take any year in the 1990's and make a great case for it. The 80's and 90's were a great few decades in film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Because I haven't seen enough movies from years 2007 below, I'll say 2012 is the best. There were loads of awesome blockbusters that year, which I am a sucker for, some great animated movies, hilarious comedies, and yet the year was topped for me by two completely different international films (Intouchables and The Raid).

lab276 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The big blockbusters of 2011 may have sucked, but go further down and you have stuff like The Help, Drive, Contagion, The Descendants and they were pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 1975 is probably my favorite, for now. The Mirror Jaws Barry Lyndon The Passenger Picnic at Hanging Rock Monty Python and the Holy Grail All masterworks. Worst I dunno. In the last decade probably 2008.

filmlover Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 1999. I think at least 6 movies from that year are in my top 100 of all time, more than any other year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 2003 was a pretty good year. My favourite movie of all time (Big Fish) was released. Not to mention runners up like Return of the King, Finding Nemo, and Elf. There were also some really awesome movies that don't quite make my top 10 list, but are fantastic nevertheless, such as The Last Samurai, Master and Commander, Freaky Friday (in my opinion), Curse of the Black Pearl, X2, and Bruce Almighty. There are also a few guilty pleasures such as Cat in the Hat (even though its bad) and Cheaper By The Dozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
