I was thinking 2010s. There's a 2007-2010 sweet spot of great, memorable films.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:Or were we sticking with post-2010?

Well, it was Reign who was feeling jaded and brought it up so I'm guessing the original discussion was shaped around his tastes. But I didn't read every post.zombie wrote:i was shot down because of my individual taste. *shrug* carry on.Headhunter wrote:I assumed we were accounting for individual taste.

good. "memorable" ebbs and flows. popular cultural opinion holds some things to be better than they are, or worse sometimes. better to be your own judge, and either people will appreciate your tastes or they won't. but they're still yours, regardless.Reign in Blood wrote:Yes, yes, no, no.zombie wrote:will people remember john wick? is john wick a great, memorable, and culturally relevant film? and does it even have to be, for you take something from it? even if everyone else, in general, could care less about it, would that change what you get out of it, yourself?Reign in Blood wrote:See, Headward is getting it.

Alright, here's the pepsi challenge. I did this once for fun, but take it as far as you like, and even I found the results weren't as jaded as I thought.zombie wrote:that's where it started, but we can move the line. let the convo expand.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:Or were we sticking with post-2010?
