Most recent film that you consider an 'all time classic' ?

[zombie no.one]

what's the most recently released film that you would put up there with your all time favourites in the history of cinema?


just in your personal opinion... I'm not bothered about the budget, how many people have seen it, or how many awards it may have won.

seen these ones. disagree that any are classic, although I can at least see why some might think each one is...

for me, WOLF OF WALL STREET was trying way too hard to be GOODFELLAS... and granted you could also level that accusation at CASINO, but whereas CASINO totally works for me, WOLF did not.

as far as Coen Bros go, FARGO is an all time classic imo.... NO COUNTRY is, I guess, great for what it is, but helllla bleak  . too bleak for me. :shrugs:

don't know this one.

4. ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD (2019)

need to get round to watching this. literally everyone I know whose seen it either loved it or hated it

[M.10rda]

I'm pretty sure FURY ROAD is the best new film I've seen in the past 10 years.

I liked OUATI HOLLYWOOD a great deal, but it's not in the same class as FURY ROAD...

Also, both NO COUNTRY and A SERIOUS MAN >>>>>>>>>>>>> FARGO in my book.

Finally, I'm w/ ZNO on WOLF OF WALL STREET. A clunker for me. I thought IRISHMAN was significantly superior to WOLF.

[Rev. Powell]

I think DUNE 2 from this year.

POOR THINGS from 2023.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE from 2022.

KNIVES OUT from 2019.

Darfur was filmed in South Africa in 2009 and it's in full on YouTube. You won't believe who directed it.

So I guess I'm the first person you've met who neither loved nor hated it (liked it, didn't love it.)

hah...

btw I can't believe you've not seen NO COUNTRY

ah, Uwe Bol (yes I looked)... funnily enough his other film from 2009, RAMPAGE was one of the few films I've seen in that time period that I liked even tho it's so brutal

Also, both NO COUNTRY and A SERIOUS MAN >>>>>>>>>>>>> FARGO in my book.

Finally, I'm w/ ZNO on WOLF OF WALL STREET. A clunker for me. I thought IRISHMAN was significantly superior to WOLF.

cool, will have to check out IRISHMAN...

SIMPLE MAN... have given it a couple of goes, once when it came out, once about a year ago. it just didn't do it for me even though it's clearly got all the hallmarks of a Coen bros movie. my loss!

[zombie no.one]

well I'm racking my brains to think of a more recent film than HOT FUZZ (2007) that I would consider a (near-)masterpiece, something that just bedazzled me with its greatness.

MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D (2009) is my go-to slasher of the 21st century so far but I'm not going to call it an all time classic, that would be ridiculous

And I'm the exact opposite: I loved WOLF but was bored by IRISHMAN. Also I kind of hated the "de-aging" thing. Just use real new young actors, don't use technology to make old actors look young. I forgive him because he's Scorsese, but IRISHMAN had a "let's get the old band together for a reunion tour" feel to me.

[Rev. Powell]

btw I can't believe you've not seen NO COUNTRY

I have a gap in my movie watching for movies that came out while I was in law school (about 2004-2007) and was too busy to see any new movie.
