Very tricky.
Perks of Being a Wallflower
Doctor Sleep
Ready Or Not (best comedy horror since the 80s!)
I'm also one of the five people who thought Terminator Genisys was actually whooping fun cinematic fan-fic (as opposed to bad cinematic fan-fic like the recent Halloween, Exorcist, Omen movies).
Not an era I'm in love with. I could mention Thanksgiving or It's a Wonderful Knife but they were only out last year and I've only seen them once, so whether they'll last is anyone's guess.

Ah, Terminator Genisys! Forgot to include that. I think it's the best Terminator post T2 to be honest. Emilia Clarke... yum! |

I agree. It doubles down on the thing most fans seem to want rid of yet I find the most interesting (the time travel stuff). It's (probably) Arnie's last real big starring movie too.

Terminator Genisys makes Whittaker's era look fantastic I appreciate it for not being a miserable slog like Salvation. I can't fault a movie for having a bit of fun. I mean, that's why we spend money on a ticket in the first place. |

It was a worse slog. Just yammered on about its time travel rules that you could just tell the writers spent eons mapping out in a corner of their room. Much more time than they spent bothering with the characters or story or dialogue. It was the worst of the franchise by a mile. Salvation at least had some ambition, and a few good twists. The performances were also good. Sam Worthington is watchable. Helena Bonham-Carter was a much better choice for Skynet than Matt Smith. Anton Yelchin was a brilliant young Kyle Reese. That movie tried.

Why so much Johnny English representation? I remember them being fun family flicks as a kid but not much else. One or two steps removed from those godawful British TV adaptations that have no international reach whatsoever like Mrs. Brown's Boys D'Movie and the Keith Lemon movie.

I find them quite funny myself. Not all the films on my list are "great," rather films I just enjoy. |

Ok at this point I have to intercede. The Nun is the perfect summation of where modern horror gets it wrong on just about every level. Tension is only utilised in order to set up a jumpscare, there is no real psychological aspect other than some pretentious spin about religion or the devil, the characters are there to scream and get picked off. If you want a great horror movie about nuns, look to something like Black Narcissus. The creeping sense of something being very wrong and out of place is slowly built from the very beginning, the visuals aren't parodically dark and foreboding, in fact they're very rich and colourful which further creates this uneasy vibe. There aren't any ridiculous monsters or demons that take you right out of it, and it's definitely not a freakshow spectacle designed purely to create temporary buzz around a dragged-out property that wasn't even that good in the first place.
The Disaster Artist, meanwhile, was just not a very good film. I read the book and the movie in comparison is a very buddy-buddy, feel-good sort of affair, whereas the real story was quite a bit darker and nastier. It's a great read if anyone's interested in The Room or the general 2000s film zeitgeist; Tommy is one of the great modern eccentrics and the film adaptation didn't give him his due at all imo.
