Sure it is long but King Kong is supposed to be an epic and instead of what he did later with the Hobbit stretching the story of 2 movies into 3 here he packed 2 movies into one which to me is rly impressive. Also as a big fan of spec evo its insane how much effort went into the creatures and bioms of Skull Island making almost all of them believable and act like real animals. There also is a great book about this movies version of SI if anyone is interessted its called a natural history of skull island.

This era had Batman & Robin, Godzilla '98, Space Jam, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Steel, Alien: Resurrection, Spy Hard, The Phantom, Jack, The (British) Avengers, Star Trek: Insurrection, Quest For Camelot, Bio-Dome, Home Alone 3, and Kazaam just to name a few.

As someone who was born in 2001, as far as memories, I felt like 2004 was the year and era that I remembered the most of. Especially seeing classics being advertised or getting toys for Spider-Man 2, Shrek 2, or The Incredibles. But I never thought 2005 was ever a bad year since there were still plenty of a good films. I always felt it blended with 2004 well. But by 2007, I used to hate it because it was constantly filled with sequels, remakes, and movies that would get memed. Spider-Man 3? Transformers? F*cking Bee Movie? Shrek the Third? But a few weeks ago, I rediscovered the year, and seen commercial complications of 2007 and I totally forgot how good it actually was. And the hated films have gained more respect. (Besides Shrek the Third.) 2006 waa a forgettable year. Nothing stood out to me or from memories. 2008 was a struggling follow up to 2007, but even back then, I always thought 2009 was the absolute worst. So many awful films, and a time when even cable shows from Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Cartoon Network straight up sucked. The time when live action dominated CN, so many unfunny teen sitcoms, and back when SpongeBob was at his lowest. Just boring and negative. But once 2010 came around, it was not only a new decade but a breath of fresh air after being in the pit of that era from my youth. And by 2012, it was really, really good and i felt was my last golden era of my life since that year we moved somewhere else, and I was my final year for elementary school before middle school.

When all is said and done, most pixar/disney movies cost more than most Harry Potter, Transformers, Fast & Furious, Mission Impossible, James Bond films.

Ratatouille got a budget of 150 million, the exact same as Hancock, which did better than Ratatouille. Again, animation is not lesser in scope, talent, difficulty, or passion. But big studios, especially for the time, thought of it as lesser. That's why they got less budget.

2009 was more infamous for being, what a lot of cartoon critics call the worst year for TV animation. Meanwhile, Schaffrillas, Cell Spex and other cartoon enthusiasts believe that it was also the year animated movies peaked. While I can see the argument, I also believe that it was also the year movies based on kids shows peaked! Hannah Montana The Movie, Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie, Totally Spies The Movie, The Fairly OddParents Wishology Trilogy, Ed Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show, Ben 10 Alien Swarm and Scooby Doo The Mystery Begins. There were at least a few that just so happened to also release that year that weren't that great: Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword, Land of the Lost, the only one of these shows that I never grew up watching, 70s nor 90s, and SpongeBob's Truth or Square which I wouldn't even call a movie as it was wasting so much time stretching the runtime. We also could've gotten a Chowder movie releasing either in 2009 or 2010 but cancelled in the middle of production. But the fond memories outweigh the bad. There are a variety of reasons why it was the best year for kids show based movies. 1. I can't find any other year that had the MOST movies based on kids shows. 2. Two of them released exclusively in theaters. 3. Some of them were made to celebrate the anniversary of their respective shows. 4. Many of them elevated the popularity and/or potential of their respective shows. It was one of the best times to be a fan of kids shows as I was a kid at the time!

Bunch of movie sequels, not many hard hitting movies in the critical sense, the release years of Jack and Jill and box office bombs like Mars Needs Moms. Yeah, some movies were good but id argue that none of them were truly great.

[@grahamcliff4006]

I’m glad you spotlighted 1929 as one of the worst years for film for the reason of the innovation of sound and not just focus on films from the last 20 years. I would argue though that with enough research one would be able to find worse movie years than say 2005. There were some awful movies, the Devil’s Rejects comes to mind. While I really liked Crash upon its initial release it seems more heavy-handed with age. I am curious though, what was disappointing about Peter Jackson’s King Kong? It was a spectacular remake that honours the legacy of the original and has all the passion and excitement of the best blockbusters of the 2000’s. Munich, my favourite movie of that year was an excellent examination on a county’s reaction to terrorism which begs the question: can we effectively respond to violence with more violence and find any resolution in this complex world? 5 Oscar nominations notwithstanding, it’s arguably Spielberg’s most underrated film. As you mentioned, Revenge of the Sith came out that year which is by far the best of the Star Wars prequels. Batman Begins for crying out loud! It was one of the best franchise course corrections after 1997’s disastrous Batman & Robin (which to be fair is kind of fun to watch if your in the mood for Bat-Butts and Bat Credit Cards😂). When Ebert and Roeper compiled their top 10 list for 2005 they said with complete confidence that if they were asked to make a top 20 list for that year they could easily make a list for 2005 that they would be proud of. I thought your examination of the effect of the 2007 writer’s strike was pretty spot on which, yes, resulted in the shakiness(in more ways than one) of Quantum of Solace and the robot testicles in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (yes, this actually happens in the movie). My criticisms aside, great video and analysis. Keep up the great work! Let’s hope the movies of 2024/2025 don’t suffer and if they do let this serve as a reminder for the studios NOT to take writers for granted and that they need to be paid what they’re worth!

I’m especially a huge fan of period dramas, but I can’t recall a single one coming out in 2022. There probably were some, but if so, I missed them. Of course, whenever you say one year is the worst year in film, someone will always come along and point out a good film from that year.

[@FilmStack]

Yeah good point! It’s all about what your preferences are and why there is no actual answer to this question just like there isn’t one for what the best year for movies are. It’s very subjective. As for 2022 period films, I enjoyed Babylon (although it’s longer than it needed to be) and maybe more action than you’re looking for but The Northman was really good. Definitely worth checking out, kinda sad how poorly it did at the box office.

With the Naughties 2000 to 2009. Most of the best movies in that decade were not big budget movies. Most of the best movies that decade were either Indie movies, Horror movies, or movies by amazing film directors, Fincher, Scorsese etc etc. For the Horror genre the 00’s was a very good decade, you had like a 70’s grindhouse/ exploitation revival in the 00’s. And I think the reason for that is 9/11. 9/11 gave people a fear that the Horror genre tapped into like the 70’s tapped into the fear of the Serial Killer. It’s no surprise that after 9/11 there was a revival in 70’s style Home Invasion Horror movies, Vacancy (2007), The Strangers (2008), etc etc. So the 00’s when it comes to the Horror genre was very good, and like a 70’s part 2 vibe with Horror.

I'm going to go to bat for 1970. It was a transitional year. While there aren't very many lasting classics (Five Easy Pieces is about it; maybe MASH), it is a stew pot of what became the New Hollywood phenomenon. I could list at least fifty good-to-great films that were genuinely trying to connect with audiences so the movie studios wouldn't just go bankrupt. Most anything could get made back then, and you get this sense of throwing it all on the wall to see what sticks. Weird stuff; experimental stuff. It may not rank as one of the all-time best years for movies, but it's a damn interesting year when you do a deep dive into it.

Another time period to consider was the late 60s due to the studios mad rush to duplicate the success of THE SOUND OF MUSIC. It ruined a number of studios, and while a new generation of film makers saved the day, it didn't seem that way at the time. The studios themselves were in deep trouble, and there were people in the know att hat time who thought the movies were doomed.

I have asked question myself a few times but not enough for having a qualified answer. And the more I tend to pick out a specific year for that title the more difficult it becomes. And the thing is when you decentralize that Hollywood-Oscar point of view and focus on other areas of the world that had, at several occasions, done better films as Hollywood did (1970 as an example for the European cinema like Melville's "Le Cercle Rouge"), it becomes almost impossible to narrow it down to one year while it's also based on your own preferences.

Even Ordinary People is considered one of the worst Oscar winners. 1980 kind of suffered from the same problem as 2009, as there was a writers strike in 1979 that diluted the product that year. In fact, the reason why Airplane! ever got made in the first place was because it was one of the few competed scripts Paramount had lying around that could be put into production during the strike.
