Back in the mid-1970s....there was a year or two in there where there just weren't that many great movies produced. In fact, you can go to several periods in the past 30 years where there might have been six classics put out in a year.
So I come to 2019, and this odd factor of maybe fifteen great movies, and it's kinda shocking at the level worth seeing.
The list:
- The Irishman
- Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
- Richard Jewell
- Little Women
- Avengers Endgame (ok, maybe not a classic but worth viewing)
- Knives Out
- Marriage Story
- Parasite (South Korean, and surprising quality)
- Joker
- Downtown Abbey
- Uncut Gems
- Ford versus Ferrari
- The Lighthouse
- 1917 (probably one of the ten best war movies ever made)
- Dolemite is My Name (Eddie Murphy ought to win a Oscar)
- Midway (actually a great war movie)
- Birds of Passage
Then behind this group....there's at least ten more which are just a step or two behind. This group would include The Kid (great western), Deadwood the Movie (another great western),
