Stranger things on Netflix is worth watching.

Presumably you are two.
OK, cool. I didn't know if you meant someone else.

Some one is nucking futs if they think 19. Mad Max: Fury Road (George Miller, 2015) is one of the best movies made in the last 16 years
That movie was ridiculous

Wow, that's a pretty eclectic list. I've seen about 13 of them...and of that I'm not sure I really liked some of them.

I think movies are such a personal thing... with me, usually when people rave about a movie I'm not impressed with it... and often when others don't like a movie, I do.

I looked this up and these 25 movies were chosen by the BBC. I think it's a ruse to get people to buy Netflix or Hulu.
Because there are several academy award winning movies that were made in this century that are not on that list.

My wife hated Eternal sunshine and Lost in Translation. She said one was Jim Cary's worst ever and the other was Bill Murray's worst LOL.I thought American sniper was just another half decent war movie.

I did like Eternal Sunshine. American Sniper? Is it on that list and I didn't notice?

I didn't notice it was by BBC. But it's super eclectic even for my taste.

I don't know how much the academy awards should factor in. I thought Love and Mercy was a fantastic film and neither of the leads or the movie were even nominated. I'm surprised Brie Larson won for Room. Which was a great movie also. But dark.

I should clarify. I think she deserved it. I'm surprised the Academy thought so. They seem to be self indulgent and vote for the industry.

That would explain DiCaprio. Great in his youth. Now? Meh.

I think it's sometimes easy to see which people are well connected in the industry. I think DiCaprio is one such. I think Billy Bob Thornton is another. But he's good. He was very well placed in the industry before he broke out as a big star. Same with Robert Downey Jr. Anyone else would have tanked with that much drug use and scandal. But after getting through it, Downey soared. The industry was very ready to accept him back and I think his pedigree and connections are what saved him.
RE: Watched on Netflix (or other streaming channels) - Juniper - 10-08-2016
Actually, Johnny Depp is another. He's not really that talented. He can dial in some things really well, but not a lot of others...but he's very well connected and well liked in the industry.

No, Downey's SOBRIETY saved him. Otherwise he would be a dead "who?"
