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.

1991 is a uniquely weak year for the Academy though. You might have had a stronger argument with 1994 or 1995, but I can still think of plenty of movies released in the last decade that I would rank up there with Schindler's List or Pulp Fiction.

Bickering about dumb movie stuff really makes me feel like the internet is healing after reddit. 🌞 It's good to be back.

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.

John Wick. The first one.
