One of the worst years for movies... ever?

Well maybe since 1998.

It's hard to imagine it could get any worse than this.

I agree. I am glad it's over. shitty year :x

Exactly as bad as 1998. Oh wait 1998 was even worse since it gave us Armageddon

Yet, 2004 had Day After Tommorrow

Coincidence? I think not.

I've seen 70+ films this year and there are still B-Grade films in my top 10 :?

The good for good, but the bad outweighed the good. I'm really difficult to disappoint when it comes to 90 or so minutes of a movie, but there was a large portion of movies that really sucked this year.

l thought it was one of the best...all in my top ten are A/A+...my bottom ten would have B movies in it, for that matter...

then again l'm generally pretty easy to please...

I thought it was a pretty good year. But 2005 looks to be much better.

You all know my answer, so...

Honestly, no, I don't Judging my your top 10, it's confusing.

Em, I thought this year a number of the 'blockbusters' really shone. Ok, actually, I'm just talking about SM2, TPOTC, and Incredibles (haven't seen HP3).


But yes, it seems fitting that a terrible film like Shrek 2 should top the charts this year; an icing on this cake of crap that was 2004?

I dunno, no more or less a year than previous ones perhaps, though it did lack excitemen. I would say 2000 was probably the worst, with that joke of a film, Gladiator, getting the Oscar from a lame set of films

yeah, 2000 was easily the worst since 97...well, dunno what came out in 98 really...so other'n that, l guess...

Well, 1998 did have decent flicks, which is something I cant really say about 2000. The only good film I remember from 2000 was Chicken Run. I'm positive there are others, I just can't remember them.

Now 1999, that was a great year!

I personally loved this year. I haven't seen many movies lower than a B-. That's how last year ended as well, until I saw a lot of movies on DVD. But this year is far better than last year at least, IMO.

I liked it a lot too. I don't think I have ever seen more movies at the theatres ever, and I liked most of them a lot. There were however some duds, but there was definitely more good than bad in my opinion.

there were alot more losers this year than most, but there were some good winners too. Anchorman is a classic, I'll be watching it for years to come.

As far as it been a sucky year. Its as bad as 1988 for me in my 30 years of life. Think the only other crappy years was 1998

1988?! The year of Beetlejuice, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Die Hard, A Fish Called Wanda, Scrooged, Big, Coming To America, Bull Durham, Gorillas in the Mist, The Accused, License to Drive and Married to the Mob?!!?

For shame, el_masked_esteROIDe_user... for shame.

You got the balance the good with the bad.Out of those movies that you mentioned I only thought Beetlejuice, Naked Gun, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and of course Alien Nation were great. As for Scrooged, Die Hard and Coming to America, they were alright.
But the horrible movies they gave us were Cocktail, Beaches, Crocadile Dundee 2, Punchline, and Short Circuit 2

But 1988 gave us Cocktail, Crocadile Dundee 2, License to Drive

I would call this year average, saved by the likes of Garden State, Sideways, and Eternal Sunshine.

I think you have to look at the biggest movies in 2004. I would say those would have had to be Shrek 2, Spiderman 2 and Harry Potter 3. Two of those were great films. Harry Potter 3 was a great suprise, immesurably better than the previous 2. Spiderman 2 was also leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessor, and while Shrek 2 was a dissapointment in MY eyes, many liked it, so to call this year a dissapointment is unwarranted.

That said it was not a great year, and 2005 should be leaps and bounds ahead. Then again, we could be in for a lot of dissapointment.

i liked the year, it had some disappointments like always, but it was good!

This is what I don't understand. You have The Phantom of the Opera at an A+ and it's in your top 10 of all time. And yet, this year sucked for you? It's your opinion, of course, but I think that if you have one great movie that you love, it makes up for the bad, no matter how bad the movie was.

I absolutely thought this was an amazing year for movies, I have five 10/10 (A+)'s, and I've never had that many before.

Okay, but 2003 gave us The Matrix Reloaded, Bringing down the House, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, The Cat in The Hat, Daredevil, Gigli, Kangaroo Jack, Good Boy!, Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, Alex and Emma, Gods and Generals, House of the Dead, and Boat Trip (my personal least favourite film of all time).

Cocktail's certainly better than any one of those films. And name a film from 2003 (other than ROTK) that you think is better than Beetlejuice! Go on! I dare you!

As for Die Hard being only "alright". BAH!! I hate you!

I love you. x x x

Die Hard was great, so was Coctails.

Im one of these people that doesnt like letting go of the year im in, so 2004 to me, was brilliant, it had such brilliance as POTCm Shade and Catwoman.

2005 doesnt look as good tbh, until im in it, then ill enjoy it.

You had me at Die Hard was great.
