We lost Midsommar, The Farewell, and Hustlers for Spider-Man: Far From Home to rank tenth? For Detective Pikachu to still be around?!?! I am sick.

I hope you get better or don’t. Idk.

As a massive Pokémon fan that adores this movie, why is it here? You all just said f*ck 2019 right?

I never expected this to make the finals lol. Why didn't they end the movie with the father helping the son catch a partner pokemon???????????????????????????

 

Megan

Quote

Despite the fact that this movie caused me to cry for like 15 solid minutes at the end I would not have had this in the Top 15 over HUSTLERS.

 

Alex

Quote

I assumed this was fodder and never would've expected it to make it to the end, let alone top 10. I've never been into Pokemon in my life so I can't imagine caring about this movie, for nostalgic or artistic purposes.

This was so funny. I'm glad it snuck into this Top 15. Because I really enjoyed myself watching this movie.

Alex

Quote

I didn't expect to be on the lower end for this movie. I'm glad to see it sneak in at the last second (despite the fact that it was over movies I prefer). I think it was a rather unique take on the teen comedy. For such a progressive movie, the teacher/student romance plotline is jarringly out of place and almost kills the movie for me tbh. But I can look past it and enjoy the rest of it.

One of the most thrilling theater experiences of my life. The direction was genius and I was so stressed on the edge of my seat the entire time. I rewatched it a few months ago and honestly, it doesn't have much rewatch value. But it still did its job and I still love it!

[Alex95]

9 and 8 tied, but 8 placed higher for having the higher peak.

[Steven_]

I'm a Pokémon fan, but I was still surprised I ended up enjoying Detective Pikachu as much as I did. But I do think it's a movie for Pokémon fans. I'm not sure if people unfamiliar with the franchise would like it much.

 

I haven't seen Booksmart, but I don't think it's my type of comedy based on the trailer. 

 

1917 was incredible. The cinematography was superb and made it easy to be absorbed in the story by making it seem like it was all done in one take. Although it was a harrowing film, it was an overall thrilling movie-watching experience.

I know practically nothing about Pokémon and I still really enjoyed it.

[Elliott]

Me trying to figure out why @Deeee is so full of emotions when we all know Endgame or Knives Out is winning.

[totes4totes]

to be fair to 1917 @Deeee there is actually a dearth of World War I movies compared to World War II. In the past decade there have been like four World War I movies (War Horse, Wonder Woman, and They Shall Not Grow Old in addition to 1917) and pre-2011's War Horse the only other real additions to World War I film canon is Lawrence of Arabia, Paths of Glory, and All Quiet on the Western Front. There of course are some not so good movies between Lawrence of Arabia and War Horse, but in terms of the raw numbers, well World War I movies can all fit on a single Wikipedia page while WWII breaks out into basically separate Wikipedia pages for each decade, there are probably as many WWII movies made since 2010 as there are World War I movies made since...well WWI. (Same with books as well).

 

I will say I don't enjoy either 1917 nor War Horse nearly as much as They Shall Not Grow Old. But in terms of the World Wars, I think there is still a lot that can be put to screen (and literature) regarding World War I because the narratives have never been as clean or as tidy (for obvious reasons) as World War II.

 

 

ANYWAY. Sorry for this long explanation. But I, like a middle-aged Dad, am very interested in World War I. This isn't to change your mind or anything. But more to clarify the discrepancies in the amount of entertainment media focused on WWI in comparison to WWII. You know in reflection as our world hurdles towards WWIII.

Lupita invented acting in this movie. It's definitely a step down from Get Out, but I still loved it a lot!

bumping this down because I don't necessarily want it to win... but it was certainly a historic movie event and not a bad film considering

 

Megan

Quote

A good ending to what essentially was the Iron Man saga of the MCU. I hope this means that now we can get to weirder more adventurous MCU stuff coming out that we were leaning towards in the last chapter. And it seems like with Shang-Chi (which I am hoping to see on Saturday since it came out when I was too busy doing other stuff to see opening weekend) that's where they are headed.

 

Alex

Quote

I enjoy Marvel movies for what they are. I'm not someone who's deeply obsessed with them, but I have a nice time seeing them. So that's how I feel about this one, like most of them. It was a fun night at the movies, not something I'm thinking about days later.

A solid Toy Story entry but nowhere as flawless as the previous three films.

 

Megan

Quote

Even though it was unnecessary after how neatly Toy Story 3 tied it all up, this was still an excellent movie.

 

Alex

Quote

I went into it completely expecting to hate it for how unnecessary it was, but I was pleasantly surprised. It doesn't even come close to matching the quality of the first three, but it was a great movie and I loved the theme of moving on. Also Christina Hendricks was amazing and Gabby Gabby is such an underrated Pixar character.

 

Dee

Quote

Wow a Disney movie made the finals? IDF loves its PG Disney movies. The worst one of the series and yet it ranks ninth because the horrible choices you all made.

 

Derek

good movie out of context, has good new characters... but with context it is dumb and pointless and shouldn't exist

I haven't seen Us, but I'm not much of a horror fan. 

 

Avengers: Endgame was cool. It was a fun watching it in the theaters as the audience was very enthusiastic. The crowd cheered when Captain America wielded Mjölnir and some people shouted "Wakanda Forever!" when Black Panther reappeared. It seemed like that was common in theaters across America, but it threw me off as I've never been part of a theater crowd that animated.  So many years building up to this film was pretty exciting too.

 

I'm one of the lowest ranks for a Disney film?   But yeah, Toy Story 4 was just unnecessary – especially since Toy Story 3 ended so perfectly.
