Avatree Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 44 minutes ago, Rorschach said: Uncut Gems finishing very low is very surprising. Although, I guess it might have something to do with it releasing internationally on the day of the deadline, so not everyone may have gotten a chance to see it. it's not low. I would say that any movie that makes it to this list - given how many movies there are each year - means it's been highly rated by the forum. And yes you're right that basically no one outside America was able to put it on their list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely one of the great rom-coms of the decade IMO I'm glad it made the list as well but until the last quarter of the year I had that as my number one film. I wish it was higher but like you said it's just good to see that I made the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I am really really surprised to see John Wick that low. I thought everybody at our site kind of love the movie and a lot of us have seen it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The problem with uncut gems is that I don't think a lot of us had a chance to see it. I know I really wanted to but it wasn't playing anywhere near me and it didn't get to Netflix on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I wish more of you would have had the chance to see the James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan produced documentary called game changers. It's the film I had at number one this year but I'm pretty sure it's not even going to make the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 #15 Spoiler ROCKETMAN The Bohemian Rhapsody of 2019 had Taron Egerton playing Elton John. A movie much better received but seeing much less awards traction this time. Personally, I enjoyed it but didn’t love it. USER REVIEWS: Really enjoyed this one, it’s night and day better than Bohemian Rhapsody. I actually didn’t know it was going to be a musical fantasy going in, so that was a fun surprise. The style really works, there’s a few quirky moments where the fantastical elements go for something more serious and don’t quite hit it with the right gravitas, but they overall really work. The Rocketman sequence actually had me tear up a little bit. Edgerton is fantastic as Elton, he’s the singer biopic actor that should have gotten the Oscar nomination (or win). The choreography is fun, the music is integrated well, it’s about as effective as a straightforward musical Biopic could hope to be.

grim22 Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 #14 Spoiler Jojo Rabbit From @Blankments There's still something utterly magical about Jojo Rabbit; the question of whether one can be good in an utterly horrible time. It's a fable for modern days but one that works remarkably well for its own setting. Rockwell remains the highlight but Davis and McKenzie hold the entire thing together, along with Waititi's deliberate direction. I've seen it four times and from sobbing at the TIFF premiere to still large chuckles and tears welling up last weekend, it's an astonishing experience. It's a film of paradoxes; how love can spring from hate and why we choose to keep on living. A tender, complicated tale told to utter perfection. USER REVIEWS Wow this film took me by surprise, one moment i'm in tears of laughter then the next scene just literally in tears. Steve Merchant always has the ability to make me laugh and Sam Rockwell was such a sweet character by the end it left me with quite the smile on my face Heil Hitler A- @Ninenin 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
