I just think we live in a era where everyone wants to be heard regardless of other folks feelings .
or in other words, attention-seeking w@nkers  |

There Will Be Blood is an absolute masterpiece. I know I bang on about films like Oh Brother Where Art Thou, The Big Lebowski and Fargo but if I ever had to see one film again it would be There Will Be Blood.

Eddie: They're armed. Soap: What was that? Armed? What do you mean armed? Armed with what? Eddie: Err, bad breath, colorful language, feather duster... what do you think they're gonna be armed with? Guns, you tit! Rory Breaker: If the milk turns out to be sour, I ain't the kinda **** to drink it. Rory Breaker: If you hold back anything, I'll kill ya. If you bend the truth or I think your bending the truth, I'll kill ya. If you forget anything I'll kill ya. In fact, you're gonna have to work very hard to stay alive, Nick. Now do you understand everything I've said? Because if you don't, I'll kill ya. Great lines from lock stock |

One not mentioned & just makes the 20 year mark is
The Last Seduction ( doubt many have seen it ) Leon also 20 years old  |
|
By:
Last Seduction is great
there's plenty of films to dispute the original premise, but I'd add Being john Malkovich, Un Prophet, Tell No-One, Festen to the list |

By:
There's a pile of good films.

Is There Will Be Blood 'ropey' in your opinion EO?

May god strike me dead if i'm ever sat in a cinema with FATTIEWHITEYSLOVEADRINK..
My senility will have really kicked in... |

So many excellent films made in the last 20 years, many of them listed in this thread. In a nutshell thread content puts a lie to the nonsense of the OP's statement.

The Assassination of Jesse James, etc...
The Wall (German)...Downfall...Baader Meinhoff Complex...great films. |
|
By:
True Grit remake with Jeff Bridges - probably even better than the John Wayne version.
|
|
By:
Groundhog Day.

There will be blood, and i'm not being controversial for the sake of it here, was hugely disappointing imo. Loved Fargo, The Big Lebowski and no country for old men however.

I liked TWBB, but the ending was a let-down.
|
|
By:
A truly great film. The ending was abrupt and final. ' I am finished ' ....leaving you thinking of all that had happened in his life it came down to this denouement . Daniel Day Lewis thoroughly deserved his Oscar. A genius of an actor.

The Assassination of Jesse James, etc... I've said it BEFOUR and I'll say it again, ya bassa, I thought it was boring. Mrs CMAT liked it though, so it's stored in her collection. |
|
By:
Really like No Country For Old Men.
I'd say Gary Oldman as Stansfield in Leon and Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men, are imo two of the best/most enjoyable villians in any film. |
|
By:
Goodfellas and Casino just about fit in to the 20yr mark.
|
|
By:
Goodfellas is a very good film. Just looked it up - 1990 !

Munich, an absolute barnstorming film.

Some of my faves from past 20 years
Leaving Las Vegas Shine LA Confidential Gladiator Irreversible Crash Closer No Country for Old Men Diving Bell and Butterfly Slumdog Millionaire Wall E UP Shame Silver Linings Playbook Flight Philomena |

It's strange, I enjoyed the book Tell No One but I switched the film off after 20 minutes because I couldn't be bothered with subtitles.
|
|
By:
Mr. Taxi - if someone made a film that was 5 hours long, with people travelling through snow on horseback, I'd watch it. That is my ideal film...so...
Also, the ending was brilliant, as Robert Ford re- SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! - as Robert Ford re-enacts the murder, night after night, on the stage ; the best insight into Big Brother celebrity culture ever - even better than The King of Comedy. |
|
By:
Mrs. CMAT obviously just fancies Brad Pitt IMO...
 |
|
By:
Let the right one in
Pans Labyrinth Far too much unnecessary swearing in films these days. It's not realistic of every day life except in some circumstances so why put it in? |

By:
Loved Happiness - v few have seen it, and it's hardly one you'd pass round the office.
I really liked alot about Moneyball, but the guys kid was completely unbelievable - the guy who was the subject of the film joked about his wife laughing at the casting of Brad Pitt but that must have been nothing compared to the way they wrote his kids character - sure the guy had a nice family in real life without having the worlds most talented kid in the household too |
