It's not for everyone.

Refn s shtick got old a  loooong time ago.

 

Take out his fascination for graphic violence and "shocking" scenes of the equation and he is the emperor with no clothes.

 

Refn s movies sound and look like the work of an angry teenager who thinks the Sex Pistols  is the coolest band in the world.

 

Time to grow up Nicholas.

I have no idea if any future Nicholas winding movies will be any good. What I can tell you is that neon demon is unlike any film I've seen and it also has one of the best Scripts and screenplays and production signs and cinematography snd scores that I've ever seen and heard.  I'm not saying his stuff is for everyone but the neon demon completely lured me in and it fascinated me. It had so many interesting observations about our societal obsessions and it also really cut to the Bone as to the lies that we tell each other about what we are really interested in when we all know what the truth is. The neon demon easily could have been the best film of the Year for me personally. Deadpool and hacksaw Ridge are above it but that takes nothing away from the brilliance of the neon demon.

Not the first film this year we have major difference in opinion on.

 

We'll always have The Guest/Calvary from 2014.

The thing we agree on the Most B is that if we had the same opinion on films and things, life and BOT would become boring pretty quickly.

 

It s a bit of a Captain Obvious statement but hey, that s all I got with your love and my dislike of Neon Demon.

I'm also in the hate Neon Demon club, so you're not alone Numbers.

Fuck that movie.

Nice list though, Baumer. I don't agree parts of it but I always appreciate your write-ups.

Number number worst film was actually a bad film and number one best film was actually a good film.

 

That's half the battle right there.

Deadpool at midnight was one of the most fun movie experiences I've ever had, that is one of the reasons I loved the movie so much. I still love it at home, but it was a film that highlights why I love the movies so much, having a great time with hundreds of other strangers, enjoying something that passionate people have made for you.

I agree Andrew Garfield was nominated for the wrong role.  his Silence performance was much greater than Hacksaw Ridge.  I did my best with voting at the BOFFYS but it made no difference.   Also, The Accountant kicked ass!!

@rukaio101 I just watched Long Way North and I liked it a lot. I wouldn't even know it existed if not for your list, so thanks for the recommendation. I really dug it's art style, the soundtrack was excellent. On top of that, the story was also pretty nice.
