Oh shit, I forgot about In Bruges. That's definitely in my Top 10 and would probably replace Blue Valentine in my previous list.

 

2006/2007 have at least six other films that'd knock off most of my list haha

 

I almost put The Devil's Rejects, Holy Motors, and Anomalisa on mine.

Starship Troopers? Whoops. Thought that was way older.

 

There has been a lot of writing and revisiting of it for its twenty year anniversary.

 

Nice. Any article you'd recommend?
I didn't even bother checking cause I thought it was early 90s. That definitely takes my pick for '97.

 

I'll start with the year I was born. The amount of great films that came out between 2005 and 2010 is pretty insane imo. Those were the toughest years for me to choose from.

20 Years Ago, Starship Troopers Showed Us What Happens When Fascism Wins

 

Spectacular, thank you.

 

Really loved the RLM piece.

 

My favorite part of the Verhoeven interview is how unequipped the lead actor is to talk about the film. He seems like he has not thought very deeply about the film and its legacy.

 

The Plinkett videos get all the attention, but they are really good at explaining how films work or don't in a language and style people can understand.

 

I always watch their reviews. Their Ghostbusters one was so awesome. Been watching all of the Best of the Worst as of late. Good times.

 

I usually have no interest in a lot of the movies they review, but I watch anyway because of how strong their criticism is. So much YouTube film criticism is awful, so hopefully more people learn from them.

 

You guys were right, The One I Love was fantastic. Charlie McDowell is 2/2 for me. Gotta keep an eye on that guy

The Princess Bride
Dog Day Afternoon
