Bad Year For Movies? No Way.

Cafe Society

I was talking to a few morons yesterday and they wouldn’t stop talking about how 2004 (in North America) was such a horrible year for movies. I nearly choked on my spit when they said that and the others agreed… how could you say this year sucked for movies?

Here’s just a few of the movies that came out this year that, alone, make it a fantastic year in film:

Maria Full of Grace
The Motorcycle Diaries
Shaun of the Dead (not sure when it was released in the UK)
Kill Bill vol. 2
Hotel Rwanda
Garden State
Napoleon Dynamite
The Aviator (okay, haven’t seen this one… but could it possibly be bad?)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Okay, those are just a few I had off the top of my head that I personally thought were absolutely GREAT. Now, with that list and whatever else you had in your mind, would you, if you’re a movie fan, consider this year to be a disappointment in the film industry?

If you’re a movie buff, were you disappointed in this years releases? I certainly wasn’t. In fact, I’d say this is one of the better years in the last decade.

Some good ones there. I’d add:

Finding Neverland
Sideways
The Incredibles

Better than last year, by far.

This thread is better suited for Cafe Society.

I’ll move it for you.

Cajun Man
for the SDMB

4

Collateral.
The american release of Hero.

Along with all of the above. Honestly, everyone could find someone to love this year in movies.

Documentaries too:

-> Fahrenheit 9/11
-> Super Size Me

Garden State alone makes this the best year for movies ever.

Maria Full of Grace, Collateral, and Eternal Sunshine helped too though.
