Barbenheimer is cinema’s most seismic moment in a decade

The surprise success of this surreal duo proves cinema remains a powerful cultural force and suggests audiences want more than franchises

The Telegraph
Yeah, finally a couple of movies that aren’t about fucking superheros or sequels/remakes.
Not to downplay the quality of the movies, but one is a biopic and one is a toy adaptation; one could easily throw in “finally an original movie that’s not a superhero, sequel, biopic, or toy adaptation.” They’re good movies. Good movies can come in any form, superheroes, sequels, and remakes included.
Look at the 1991 Oscar best picture nominees and ask yourself if any movie in the last decade is even comparable.
Not hard at all. I can already tell you I liked Everything Everywhere All at Once (this year’s BP winner) way more than Dances with Wolves.
Go ahead and make that list if you’re so inclined. On par with Pulp Fiction? Come on. This has got to be good.
I’d say Sicario is up there on my list
Fuck, that was good! The ending leaves you feeling so empty.

Some random personal favorites of the last 10 years off the top of my head, in no particular order

  • Everything Everywhere All at Once (I know, I already mentioned this one, but it really liked it)
  • John Wick
  • Zootopia
  • Midsommar
  • The Grand Budapest Hotel
  • Mad Max: Fury Road
  • Arrival
  • Blade Runner 2049
  • Parasite
  • Isle of Dogs
  • Your Name
  • The Green Knight
  • Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
John Wick. The first one.
