This randomly popped up in my youtube feed.

LINK

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Frost Nixon
Milk
The Reader
Slumdog Millionaire

Saw them all that year. I personally liked The Reader best of them all, but Im biased to that type of storytelling.

What's another crazy lineup year yall remember?

That's like a 9/10. A true 10/10 year would be 2020.

Nomadland
Mank
The Trial of the Chicago 7
Minari
Judas and the Black Messiah.

I wasnt implying the movies themselves were 10/10 movies. I wouldnt give any one of them a 10 personally.

But as far as a body of work, none of those movies do you go "how the heck are they on that list for best movie of that yea"

Oh you were serious. My bad.




None of those are 10/10, or really memorable, and yes I could ask how the heck did they get on that list that year. Bad movie year.

Frost Nixon is probably the best movie on that list, and it's still pretty meh.

In hindsight The Wrestler, In Bruges and Doubt all deserved better.

It’s literally only remembered as the Oscars where The Dark Knight got snubbed for Best Picture

People were asking that question so much in 2009 that they changed the rules for number of nominees.
