There haven't been any good movies for years.
Can anyone name any good movies during the past 5 years? I would like to know.

Birdman was the first to pop into my head. Great film
shareAgreed.
Kind of makes me crazy when people say this.
If you limit yourself to superhero movies, remakes and reboots I'm not surprised.
There's a whole world out there still making great films.
Agree. You've gotta seek them out
shareNone of these movies look good. Not one. Always some kind of depravity involved, gratuitous violence and nothing that captures your imagination with a good story. It kinda makes me crazy how the new generation thinks utter crap including "superhero" movies are any good. Why are they called "superhero" anyway? They are bizarre and vulgar comic book creations.
Ok Starting off with Birdman:
"A washed-up actor, who once played an iconic superhero, attempts to revive his career by writing and starring in his very own Broadway play. "
Are you serious?
'71
"In 1971, a young and disorientated British soldier is accidentally abandoned by his unit following a riot on the deadly streets of Belfast. "
Ok that might be alright but I'm already expecting a political bias here. Still not a movie that can make you sleep well at night. I mean why revisit the past horror when we have enough of it today. I'll pass.
Inside Llewyn Davis
"A week in the life of a young singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. "
Hmm maybe I'll give it a chance.
Tangerines
"War in Georgia, Apkhazeti region in 1990. An Estonian man Ivo has stayed behind to harvest his crops of tangerines. In a bloody conflict at his door, a wounded man is left behind, and Ivo is forced to take him in. "
Yeaup still can't get past this horror, war, depravity, violence thing can we?
I'm going to end it here. Don't have time for this BS. The last good movie I saw was North of the Sun. The one before that Motorcycle Diaries. The rest is all crrrraaap.
Rust and Bone
"Put in charge of his young son, Alain leaves Belgium for Antibes to live with his sister and her husband as a family. Alain's bond with Stephanie, a killer whale trainer, grows deeper after Stephanie suffers a horrible accident. "
Hmm ok but still sounds like a lot of misery.
Ok I'm out of space and cannot type anymore.
To each their own.
I agree there aren’t has many “good” movies being made today they are still making ones that I enjoy.
One of the reasons is they are making less movies now then in any other time.
I don’t watch many newer movies at all.
I’m still finding movies that I haven’t seen especially outside of the US that were made decades ago.
If they’re not making good movies then who cares. I don’t see how it could affect you in any way other
than to give you a chace to complain about something.
Newer doesn’t mean better.
Instead of complaining about it just don’t watch newer movies. Problem solved.
i haven't seen all the movies on your list, but, of the ones i have seen, i agree with almost all your choices. rust & bone, the past, tangerine, inside llewyn davis, the past, the handmaiden, whiplash - all exceptional.
sharePlenty of good ones out there.
You mentioned Tangerine. I haven't seen that one.
The movie I saw was Tangerines from 2013.
The only reason I mention it is I only recently discovered that there was a Tangerine movie.
Hard to believe a citrus fruit became so popular in movie titles!
