Just to list 5
Yeah 1994 was my favorite year
Natural Born Killers
+patrick williams Ed wood, León: the professional, Legends of the fall
+patrick williams yeah youre right
+patrick williams
Oh god don't remind me, that is the one of the biggest Oscar fuck up years. Giving Best Picture to Forrest Gump when it should have gone to Pulp Fiction or at least The Shawshank Redemption. Now they regret it, but now is too late.
Once again, as always, Dan argues with the most logic and smartest explanations. No surprise he wins all the time - he makes the best choices and backs them up with the most sense.
He's easily my favorite panelist. Even when I disagree with what he says, he brings up some really good points that sometimes sway me over to his opinion. For instance, I actually liked Pearl Harbor but after hearing why he hated it, he did kind of make me see it in a new light.
cuzthechicksdigit He and the guy with long hair that looks like the main Character in Eurotrip
Lol I always call him Ashton Kutcher. I forget his name but I really like his arguments, especially when he's fighting Mundy.
yeah i agree great panelist i still think 1984 was a better year then 1999 but he made me rethink a couple times cause of his explanations but i still think 84 was better
Dan and Hal are my favourites by far.
Maybe in the future, instead of asking "Best [actor] movie?" you should ask "Best movie [actor] was in?" or "Best performance by [actor]?"
or maybe the the people submitting the questions should specify
or best typical performance of an actor.
OMG OMG!
Minor TH-cam celeb I follow posting in a series I follow... play it cool, don't be a starf***er, don't blurt out random Echidna, Dolphin or Duck facts and questions, or about wanting more Let's Plague and Huge Quest.
Yeah I can see where there is sometimes confusion on the panel with the questions... Andy frequently gets off topic or alters the question significantly from what it seems to be asking in spirit.
To me the spirit of the question usually "reads"; "Most Iconic (Insert qualifying word here)".
Like with the Tim Burton question - his most Iconic movies are typically considered ESH, Beetlegeuse and (arguably) Sweeny Todd. Those movies are stylistically dripping in everything Burton has come to use in future works, and considered his best most iconic works (with Batman and Peewee' getting honorable mentions). But Andy decided to judge that round a little more strictly to the wording.
Praise the Plague!!
SeaJay ...im trying to get there too, i just lack an amazing toy called cintiq, that literally works for u
Spencer says: "you just dont want him(dan)to pout for the rest of the episode" lol that was the best part of this fight haha
no one picked 1994:
pulp fiction - forrest gump - the lion king - The Shawshank Redemption - the mask - léon - Natural Born Killers ...
i was about to say that
1994 is ranked no.1 in Watchmojo's vid. Top 10 Best Year in film.
also in 94 was dumb and dumber and in some countries the usual suspects
What about 1978?
-Grease. The of the greatest musical movies ever
-Superman. The movie that pioneered, serious box office super hero movies.
-National Lampoon's Animal House. One of the best comedies ever. And actually was the one that took slap stick to a new level. And is the leader of gross out humor. Done right!
-Every Which Way but Loose. A great Clint Eastwood movie. That took him out of being typcasted as the bad ass hero. And grounded him as an everyday guy.
-Revenge of the Pink Panther. Peter Sellers, last full time performance. And he went out with a huge bang. Making not only one of the funniest comedies. But, also one of the funniest sequels to an already established franchise(which is much harder to do).
-The Deer Hunter. One of the rare times. Where you can see how great Christopher Walken really is. He has amazing range. And can pull you in. That Russian roulette scene. Awesome. It brought out Walken, DeNiro & Streep into the spotlight. And all were terrific.
-Halloween. What can i say? It brought out horror movies from the shadows(after almost a 15 year drought). And made em relevant again. It was one of the first slasher movies. But, also perfected it. There's been alot of movies that tried to duplicate the success. And even succeeding with the formula(Friday the 13th). But, none can say. They made a flawless slasher movie. It's the only one.
The mask? Nonono.
Rest are fair.
Next movie fight: Who is the Best music movie composer?
For example: Hans Zimmer, James Horner, Alan Silvestri,
Ennio Morricone, Steve Jablonski, Howard Shore, John Powell,
Danny Elfman, Michael Giaccino, etc.
Why didn't you mention john williams
TheAwesomeRocco Must have slipped his mind. Can't name them all I guess.
***** I don't like twitter XD
But they have choosen question youtube comments too.
A great idea. Hans Zimer is great but you can't beat John Williams
No need for fight, John Williams wins.
Howard Shore is a close one too, but not the best.
It's fun to go back and watch these older episodes knowing how the show is going to develop, the fighters' skills improve, and all the movies to come.
Best year for films, arguably 1994, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption. Any of these 3 could have won Best Picture and no one could complain. There hasn't been another year where 3 truly great movies have been released.
yeah, nah
Goldifying Care to expand?
Those aren't great films; they're relics of pop culture which people often reference.
Forrest Gump was never great.
Pulp Fiction isn't even Tarantino's best film.
I agree Pulp Fictions not his best, in my opinion Django is. But this still doesn't change that Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece. Like I said, there's never been a year with 3 films like these being released.
What do you mean, 'like these' ?
1980- Raging Bull, Empire Strikes Back, The Shining
1981- Raiders of the Lost Ark, An American Werewolf in London, Das Boot
1982- E.T, Blade Runner, Pink Floyd - The Wall
E.T.C.
My point being, any of these years decimates your selection and yet I've chosen to refer to a decade seen as a general low point in art and culture and when box office gross was historically the lowest it's ever been.
The films of 1994 are particular to you and your generation; they represent your awareness of culture and society in relation to the present 'pop culture' landscape, whereby everything is a 'remix of a remix', and from there comes your flimsy denotation of what constitutes a masterpiece.
*Note that Forrest Gump is the worst offender of the 3.
Sometimes i cry while chopping carrots cause i don't want onions to think that they're ugly or something
I like it, but I think this is a good thing, because I don't want this to happen on the island, and sometimes cry.
i cry evry tym
How many videos did you put this comment on?
IMGILGAMESH donno
Bob Can I borrow some sweg off you for school tomorrow.
I'd say some important years for American cinema were 1939 (Gone With the Wind, Wizard of Oz), 1974 (Godfather Part II, Chinatown, The Conversation), 1967 (In The Heat of the Night, Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate), 1976 (Rocky, Network, All the Presidents Men, Taxi Driver), and 1994 (Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption). Feel free to add on more years that you feel are extremely important.
I'll echo 1939 ... they had ten films up for best picture, which fall into 'cherished classics' category: Dark Victory, Gone With the Wind (The winner), Goodbye, Mr. Chips, Love Affair, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Ninotchka, Of Mice and Men, Stagecoach (every ensemble movie with diverse characters copies this), The Wizard of Oz, Wuthering Heights. There are also classics that didn't make that cut: Hunchback of Notre Dame, Gunga Din, Drums Along the Mohawk, Destry Rides Again, The Four Feathers, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Only Angels Have Wings, Young Mr. Lincoln, The Roaring Twenties.
1954 is my fave. On the Waterfront, Rear Window, Seven Samurai being the standouts.
2012 Dark knight rises, Avengers, Skyfall, Hobbit
alasdair burgess Umm, I guess 2012 was a banner year for blockbusters, but I think 2014 was a better year for that type of film.
suppose, then again 2012 also had argo, django unchained, Lincoln, zero dark thirty ect
2014 - Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America: The Winter Solider, Whiplash, Edge of Tomorrow, John Wick, Nightcrawler, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Boyhood, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Big Hero 6, The Imitation Game, Interstellar, How to Train your Dragon 2, The Interview, Her, Unbroken, Predestination, Citizenfour, The Theory of Everything, Snowpiercer, Godzilla,

*Dreams about what Jeremy Jahns would do if he was on the panel
I'd like to see Black Nerd Andre.
*Jeremy shepherd sleep..... I just want to say that.
***** +1, and he's actually part of the crew...
***** as a movie fight panelist.
thinking about nostalgia critic, jeremy and chris stuckman on these chairs - that would be interesting.
Ghost in the shell is being made into a feature film.
Movie fight: Which Anime/Manga would make a great feature film adaptation?
Great question!!
Thanks!
***** Cowboy Bebop would be a nice pick, although I gotta say that one of the things that made CB great was the rythm of the fight scenes, and I feel that would be very difficult to translate to real action.
I'd go for Baccano! wich basically is Pulp Fiction+Snatch, it'd be a hell of a movie if done right.
Another good options would be either Steins;Gate or Black Lagoon. ;D
Black Lagoon.
Steins;Gate would be good, Kill la Kill would be crazy enough to see even if it is bad.
It's almost unfair for all three to be in the same panel because not only are they the most entertaining and the ones with the most interesting dynamics but they're also the cutest lmao
Finally, somebody brings up how spoiled we all are with Marvel trailers. The people bitching about the first Antman teaser trailer are just complainers and that is all. The trailer was good and I bet that the movie will be great. We are getting a fucking Antman movie! That is crazy. Be happy.
Exactly. Considering the rest of the MCU or ignoring it, I'm stoked for it! The trailer did excite me.
Cant agree more! We all are so spoiled by Marvel in recent years! And I agree with Mike Carlson that, there is really nth that sucked or bad! In contrary, the antman morphing and the riding on ants scene WERE GREAT! ANTMAN! BUT.. im slightly disappointed that it's not Hank Pym but Scott Lang.. But oh well!
It has noting to do with being spoiled the trailer was weak.
Just remember the guardians of the galaxy trailer was terrible, yet one of the best films(personally) of the year
This is my favorite panel for Movie Fights
1994. 3 Movies: Shawshank Redemption. Pulp Fiction. Forrest Gump. Enough said.
no.
None it's worth being called rewatchable so no.
Birdman, Whiplash, Kingsman, Theory of Everything, American Sniper, Boyhood, Grand Budapest, Imitation Game, Big Hero 6, Gone Girl, The Judge, Still Alice, Interstellar, Foxcatcher, Nightcrawler, Selma, Fury, Divergent, Guardians of the Galaxy, Inherent Vice, The Interview, Lucy, Dumb & Dumber 2, The Hobbit, Edge of Tomorrow, Lego Movie, Maleficent, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Chef, How To Train Your Dragon 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, 22 Jump Street, Sin City 2, 300 2, Godzilla, Noah. 2014.
How about 1939!!!!!!!
1. The Wizard of Oz
2. Gone With the Wind
3. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
4. Stagecoach
5. Young Mr. Lincoln
6. Wuthering Heights
7. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
8. The Rules of the Game
9. Ninotchka
How many of those movies are considered some of the greatest of all time?
+Sami Gold Hmm, some of those films might be a bit too posh for Movie Fights. And some of them they probably haven't even heard of.
Excellent reason to savour them all and to wear it as a badge of honour!
Movie Fights is not known for its knowledge of movie history. I immediately thought of 1939. You didn't even mention Hitch's Rebecca.
I have only got into Movie Fights recently and have been binge watching them for the last few weeks...
... I am uncomfortable with Dan not being at the right end of the table :(
Veggie Gamer or Mike at the far left
cant believe this was eight years ago. i miss this crew
You guys missed it big time. It's 1982. ET, Blade Runner,The Road Warrior, Poltergeist, 48 Hours, An Officer and a Gentleman, Conan the Barbrian, Creepshow, The Thing, Fast Times at Ridgemount High, ST:II The Wrath of Khan, Tootsie, and Diner.
Aaron Morris Road Warrior - 1981
Thats what the guy in the red shirt picked
I guess they ignored all the comments from the previous movie fight. Everyone wanted judge Dan not judge Andy. Dan please come back to the judges seat. No more #DANCAM! Bring on #JudgeDan.
Agreed. Dan is a much better host.
Marko Ramius Second that.
Their both good hosts, I just prefer Andy more.
*How about if Andy and Dan alternate as judges every 2nd week to appease everyone.* I want to see Judge Hal and Judge Mundy in future.
jdlaw001 Judge Mundy would be funny...but predictable. Points would go to any RoboCop, Predator, or The Rock movies.
1999
American Beauty
American Pie
Fight Club
The Matrix
Eyes Wide Shut
The Sixth Sense
The Green Mile
The Blair Which Project
Magnolia
Being John Malkovich

+trd 12 Star Wars: Phantom Menace, Wild Wild West and Super Baby Geniusses
1994 - Shawshank, Pulp Fiction, Lion King, Forrest Gump, The Crow, In The Name of The Father, Natural Born Killers, Ed Wood and Jim Carrey's best year ever.
.. and Clerks. :)
Totally Agree!
Leon: The Professional !!!!
Idea for a fight: Movie with the most re-watch value?
The Princess Bride
I like this
Demolition man
Back to the future
Home Alone or holiday movies
I want to ride Spencer's ride on the way to Dan's ride.
Dan was right to argue--you've got to define these questions before you start. The constant changing of what the question was is not only frustrating for the contestants, but it's exhausting as a viewer. I love this show, I don't want it to get exhausting.
I don't always agree with some of the things you guys say, but I absolutely LOVE this show. I like it more Honest Trailers and the Screen Junkies Show (two shows I really like). Keep up the great work!
I'm totally, but honesty, trailer, TV, a drug addict, like you, who will be a good thing, and I agree.
I think it would be a good idea to assign a 'theme' to each Movie Fight, in the way that This American Life ties all of their stories together with a common thread. The questions posed to the players are from all over the place and nothing really holds it together in one cohesive piece. For example, next week's theme could be "Childhood Memories", "All Action", or maybe "Future of Cinema" and then have each question relate to that theme in some way. That would really differentiate this great show from the other movie review shows!
Q: Best repeated movie team up/duo's
Ie Seth Rogen and Franco, Tarantino group or Caine and Nolan etc
Scorsese and De Niro
Can we agree now Burton, Carter and Depp are off the list
I feel like director-actor duos are a dime a dozen. I'd rather see best actor duo.
Deniro / Pesci count or does it have to be more than 2 films?
Matthew Kittell I would exclude multiple appearances in the same franchise since it's the same roles in virtually the same movies. I'm talkin' Meg Ryan & Tom Hanks, Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson and I guess this one would also be disqualified but Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
I know you mentioned this on twitter, but seriously get Jeremy Jahns on.
On Twitter,I know you know this, but seriously, good waves for the last time.
I also think the questions could be presented a little more specifically. Sometimes Andy does that with the question, and the fight has a lot more direction
Personally, I wouldn't count Schindler's List as a Liam Neeson movie. Because when I think of Liam Neeson I don't think of Schindler's List. It was an awesome movie that he was in, but if you want to look at one that made his own or to find him - look at taken.
I nearly fall asleep every time I try to watch ET as an adult.
ET gave me nightmares when I was younger, and he still does now.
I actually don't like ET very much.
Still makes me cry every teem
John Avenger it is a classic, just one that makes me sleepy now

This was one of the funniest episodes of Movie Fights you guys have had. I was laughing out loud constantly. Great job guys
I'm so surprised about two years that weren't mentioned. 1993 and 1994. For me and for most people they had films that were iconic. Just picking 5 for each year I would go with:
1993: 1. Jurassic park. 2. Schindler's list. 3. The Fugitive. 4. Groundhog day. 5. Cool runnings (personal choice)
1994: 1. Pulp fiction. 2. Forrest Gump. 3. The Lion king. 4. The Shawshank Redemption. 5. The Crow (Brandon Lee's last performance)

Spencer and Dan are the cutest.
Who would’ve thought that the Gambit movie never happened… and 9 years later, the only Channing Tatum Gambit was a cameo in a Deadpool vs. Wolverine movie…
bonus round: how many times does Andy prejudge a fight, making the others fight for no reason?
A hundred million bazillion
How many times does Andy redefines the questions because he can't be arsed to try and make a judgement call and wants something easier to handle, often leaving the trio of panellists obligated to reduced their arguments down to a single statement?
Kinda surprised that a big movie buff like Mike Carlson didn't mention *The Dark Crystal* in his assessment of 1982. Seems like the kind of film that they'd appreciate.
I love you guys man! THESE episodes are where we bring our kids too learn, laugh and discover FILM , CHARACTER , ACTORS and DEBATE!! 🤝🏾
My picks for best years for film. 1999 - Eyes wide shut, fight club, American beauty
1975 - one flew over the cuckoos nest, dog day afternoon, jaws
2004 - million dollar baby, the aviator, collateral
1980 - the empire strikes back, raging bull, the shining
2014 - nightcrawler, whiplash, gone girl
2014 was amazing, so many great movies. You can add Boyhood, Birdman, Selma, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Leviathan, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Guardians of the Galaxies, etc, etc..
Million dollar baby? Seriously?!
Rodrigo Guerrero Birdman, Whiplash, Kingsman, Theory of Everything, American Sniper, Boyhood, Grand Budapest, Imitation Game, Big Hero 6, Gone Girl, The Judge, Still Alice, Interstellar, Foxcatcher, Nightcrawler, Selma, Fury, Divergent, Guardians of the Galaxy, Inherent Vice, The Interview, Lucy, Dumb & Dumber 2, The Hobbit, Edge of Tomorrow, Lego Movie, Maleficent, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Chef, How To Train Your Dragon 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, 22 Jump Street, Sin City 2, 300 2, Godzilla, Noah
Ken Kaniff Not all these movies are that great, Dumb And Dumber To was pretty bad in my opinion.
***** Noah was pretty bad too. Remove those two and replace them with Exodus, Hunger Games and Night at the Museum, which I forgot to mention in my main post.
Yea I'm sorry but Andy is clearly biased toward Dan.
Michael Cioce yeah, idk how he chose Christopher walked based on argument
I've been going to the movies since 1967, through current day, hence = 1989! There has never been a year (Summer mainly) like it. '89, was a year filled with film fervor and everyone, all ages it seemed, were caught-up in the hype. Wonderful!
1974 was the culmination of the freedom from the studio system and the starting point for a generation of new directors. It was just before the rise of the blockbuster.
1. The Godfather Part II
2. Chinatown
3. The Conversation
4. Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein
5. Black Christmas
6. The Great Gatsby
7. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
8. The Longest Yard
9. Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia
10. Harry & Tonto
There are many more memorable films from the best year for films.
Also, I was born. ;-)
Only ones i can see worth while are The Godfather of course and Chinatown.
This is my favorite show on youtube =)
Same, these make my Sundays.
On TH-cam) favorite tv.
I've been going to theaters/cinemas since 1967..Hence = 1989!!! THE best year (for my tastes) in film. The hype, for the plethora of films released that year has never been matched. Believe me, I was there, and totally indulged. Thumbs-Up!
The Grey is definitely the best film of Neeson.
It's a very personal (Neeson lost his wife, just like his character), raw and uncompromising film. It was surprising to see Hollywood churn it out. It's definitely not a product and a cheap/safe/escapist thrill ride.
I watched it in cinema and it really hit people. Frank Grillo's last scene alone is remarkable.
When the titles started rolling there was silence... Most left with their popcorn untouched.
I went it expecting to see man-vs-nature kind of thriller where the humans do MacGyver shit in Alaska. Instead it was a study of human nature and what it means to be a man. Yeah, it's a very "male" film.
I agree, it's a great movie, and the ending was perfect
Dan is amazing as a "gladiator" as well as a judge :)
and also as DANCAM
he's my fav on movie fights
Yeah, mine too :D
I've always considered 25:06 the moment Dan became Dan Murrell Grumpy Movie Fight Champion.
Nice to revisit the classics.
Here's my fight for you... Best silent movie?
The last airbender u have to mute it lol
VMG3001 That is the best comment on the internet
Will Clarke thx btw I'm Indian so I just want to let the Internet know we don't count shyamalan as once of us he's banished from our race
haha good to know
Metropolis (The Complete Metropolis), no doubt.
Here's my 2 cents on them using Scott Lang:
Scott Lang is as interesting as Hank Pym. However, they've already made Iron-Man and Hank Pym is similar to him in many ways. Brilliant scientist invents this new technology and he's a little arrogant. Scott Lang gives an opportunity for a different narrative, a misguided man that is led towards being a hero. A man who is motivated by his love for his daughter. Hank Pym...well...he slapped his wife once and then he created Ultron. Since we already have Iron Man and it makes as much sense (if not more if you think about it) that Tony Stark built Ultron, I'm fine with them using Scott Lang, even more because Hank Pym is still there in some capacity.
Really Spencer dropping the Robocop vs Judge Dredd question was sort of the perfect way to end things.
i am going to enjoy this year to my fullest...starting right after i find a job,.soon..
I like this next year to work, asylum seekers,and in a short time early in the year.//--. and then a little more.
***** what u r saying doesn't happen at my place so tell me does your movie theater show different movies everyday.new and old ? How does it work .
Good point, lot of good movies this year, even Selma and that came out in January: The general shit year for movies and we got an award worthy movie in it
As for the year with the best movies the answer is 1994 easy (Pulp Fiction, Sharshank Redemption, Forest Gump etc..) but the most iconic year in cinema is 1939 (Gone With the Wind, Wizard of Oz, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington).
For many years, the best movie, ednostaven vastaus. 1994. Murder (Sharshank in mind, Forrest Gump, but most importantly, the theatre,1939, seven spirits, or a Wizard, but. Smith moved to Washington, DC.)
1954 is my pick. 1955 is also pretty great.
On the Waterfront
Rear Window
The Caine Mutiny
Seven Samurai
Dial M for Murder
Godzilla
Sansho the Bailiff
A Star is Born
20,000 Leagues
i love when spencer is on the panel! he's funny and makes intelligent points, but also doesn't get mad or mean. plus he's cute :)
fight idea: most underrated actress/actor
Spencer is the cute one in my book.
1954:
- Seven Samurai
- Godzilla
- Rear Window
- Dial M for Murder
- On the Waterfront
On the waterfront
Seven brides for seven brothers
Dan is really cute not going to lie also i usually agree with him! but mike cracks me up
Right? I really can't understand people hating on Mike, I think he's hilarious! Every time when he is like "we want that" about one of his crazy ideas I can't help laughing out loud.
#Botanicus :D
He's bald
DRAGON BALL Z in IMAX!!!!!!!!!!!!! just imagine hearing that yell KAMEHAMEHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dragonball Z Kai in IMAX
yeah DBZ is a definite winner of this category
Jason Brown Bleh Kai. I cant stand Gohan and Vegetas new voices.
guys just some seconds to tell u how fun this movie fight was, it made my morning. i laughed a lot, it was hilarious. Everything was there, and i even think we should let the questions of the fans like that without changing cause it brings a new take on arguments , or different opinions. Keep it up!
I was actually hoping for the opening to be changed to Bane's "Let the Games Begin" from DKR
It is 1994 and there is no argument.
It had Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, Dumb and Dumber, Leon:The Professional, The Lion King, The True Lies, Natural Born Killer
~lol~ there is an argument! and it's for 1987 . . . why? because of these -
robocop
predator
lethal weapon

evil dead 2

first, i want to say i love you guys and movie fights is great. i'm always happy to see a video from this series go up.
i really enjoyed the episode but this might have been one of the weaker ones so far. the only reason i say that is because of all the discussion on what the questions really mean. clearly you are all preparing before the episode but then when you are answering the question, the meaning of the question becomes part of the discussion. it might be worth taking a little bit of time before everyone does their research to address any questions the panel might have about how to answer each question.
but, like i mentioned before, the only reason i'm bothering to write any of this is because i really enjoy the show and only want to see it get better. thanks as always for the videos!
Tv show you want to see on imax: avatar: the last airbender!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAWWWW duuuude, so much yess. The world of Legend of Aang in that format would be incredible!
I'm watching it again right now! Such a great show. I would love to see it with a greater picture and audio quality.
i was literally just about to make this comment. could you imagine seeing the four episode series finale on imax... mind shattering
Matt Riley Ikr btw have u seen legend of Korra def honorable mention for imax but any thoughts if you have seen it?
VMG3001 im a little biased on that, cause korra was a little bit of a let down for me compared to ATLA , but yes i have of course seen all 4 seasons. btw, i def paused the movie fights to go watch the blind bandit episode..
My favorite movie fighters are:
1) Dan Murrel (He always makes the best arguments and is the most competent)
2) Spencer Gilbert (Also competent and quite funny)
3) Mark Ellis (Just funny as hell)
So bring them more often!
I think this show should more often have a female fighter. There were too less women on Movie Fights. I can only remember Alison Haislip, but I think there were also others, but not many. (Maybe you can find a blond girl to join the show… that would be nice)
What do the other screen junkies fans think about my ranking? Any other opinion?
1985, That was a great year for movies. Back to the future, The Goonies, The Breakfast club, mad max beyond thunderdome, weird science, clue, commando the list just goes on and on.
How about Worst year for movies? My personal pick: 2007. ( Pirates 3, the start of the Transformers franchise, the TMNT film, Shrek 3, Spiderman 3, National Treasure 2, Order of the Pheonix, Oceans Thirteen etc).
There Will be Blood, No Country for Old Men, The Simpsons Movie
DerekKingLtd Damn, forgot about them. Still, the cons outweigh the pro's.
Rocket Raccoon Ya me too, Maybe its because I want to be a psychologist, because Harry has some issues.
1408, Across The Universe, Dead Silence, Sweeney Todd, Number 23, Sunshine too. Also damn I really liked Pirates 3.
2009 was bad too: X-Men Origins, Terminator Salvation, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, The Half blood Prince, Halloween 2 the shitty one remake, Friday the 13th the shitty remake
Thank God that Dan won for the Best Liam Neeson movie fight. I have no idea how he kept his cool. haha that was frustrating as hell- also Punch Drunk Love is an Adam Sandler movie because he was in it... Is There Will Be Blood only a PTA movie and not a Daniel Day Lewis movie?... the two guys on the left are so far up one another's asses when they're on this show
also i fucking love the end of The Grey
1994...Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Leon the Professional, Lion King and the trifecta of Jim Carrey movies, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura.
My history teacher made us watch Pearl Harbor. I wish he didn't
Professor pearl Harbor, you know, I hope you're not on the job.
Your adopted
That teacher needs to be fired for trying to make their students dumber.
seriously, that sounds like a really bad history teacher
Thats funny, mines made us watch it to point out its flaws.
people who think marvel can't do wrong should revaluate both their lives and thor 2
They should also re-evaluate the first Captain America. That movie was horribly boring.
Jason Brown and the second one! And the Hulk, and Iron Man 2, and Iron Man 3, and the first Thor, and the Avengers...
ml3h777
Yeah. Now that you mention it, the second Captain America wasn't that great, either.
Jason Brown Yeah it was.
And Iron Man 2 & 3 and TIH
Great to see some people on the panel that actually knows how to have something that at least resembles an argument. And Dan is right. You really need to clarify your questions better.
Fact check: was already a "titanic the ride" at fox studios Sydney. Now closed

1994 and 1995 Was great for cinema, the decade of 90´ was the last decade of good cienema, in my opinion.
This has far and away been my favorite Movie Fight, it was so much fun to watch and laugh with these guys who are so passionate and knowledgeable.
1994 Hands down best year for movies.
Top 5 Movies:
Pulp Fiction
The Shawshank Redemption
Forrest Gump
The Lion King
Dumb and Dumber
Why does everyone love the lion king it's story sucks and it's characters are flat and one dimensional also all the voice acting sucks with the exception of James earl jones. Also the music sucks for the most part with the exception of circle of life
Pulp fiction is one of my favorite films of all time
I hate to correct the fact checker (dude, you got google right at your fingertips) but Ghost rider 2 wasn't directed by Mark Steven Johnson.
He directed the first one tho right?
VMG3001 Yeah
Don't forget about Elektra.
Taken came out in the US in Jan 2009. Good non-comic book action movies earlier in the decade include: Tears of the Sun, Revenge of the Sith (sorta), Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, AVPR, Rambo, I am Legend, A Good Day to Die Hard, and Serenity
For your next fight: Who is the most overrated director?
Micheal Bay, I know most people hate him, but some still like him: therefore he is overrated - he should have no fans.
christopher nolan - all his characters do is talking about exposition, nothing more.
HulK TopF If I was a radical Nolanist I would charge you with abuse. But I am not so your safe 😀
Ben Wolf
good to know XDD but i have to admit i enjoy his movies, but not so hard xD
George Lucas. People usually say he got bad with the prequels, as if he was great once but lost his way. But he was never great to begin with imo. He didn't direct Empire Strikes Back and that's why it's the best one. He didn't direct Return of the Jedi, which has the best and most emotional moment in the franchise imo (Darth Vader, Luke and the Emperor's final scene together). He directed Howard the Duck. He's done more bad movies than good ones and even the ones that are generally considered good like Episode IV do not show some great directing talent imo. He's bad at directing actors, focuses much more on imagery than emotions or depth and I can't stand how he paces his movies.
Old George Lucas is the most oveerrated director I can think of.
I dislike how he's remembered as one of the great DIRECTORS for creating the Star Wars legacy. He's the creator of something people find great, not a great director.
"Stupid, Blind Batman: Attorney at Law"
That's brilliant - I'm gonna call Daredevil that all the time from now on [and pretend it's my own creation ha]
:)
You guys were all wrong, the best TV show to see in imax is Firefly. Not only is it one of the best shows ever made (r.i.p.) it's so beautiful to watch. It's very thematic in the way it's filmed but I think imax would open up that world even more and really drive home that whole universe. Plus seeing the ship, Serenity, on that screen... I think I'd literally cry. Great fight today! Keep it up!
2014 was really great:
Interstellar (One of my favorite movies),
Captain America 2 (My favorite Marvel Movie)
Guardians Of The Galaxy (My second favorite Marvel Movie)
X-Men: Days Of Future Past (My second favorite X-Men movie)
Nightcrawler (Very original)
Birdman (Also very original and well acted)
Whiplash (Top notch performances)
Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (Outstanding performance by Serkis and great pacing)
Boyhood (Something different that was executed well)
The Battle Of Five Armies (Hate it all you want, I thought it was a great ending for a trilogy)
And some other titles, there were a lot of bad movies too, but lets focus on the good stuff.
For me, the best year for movies is either 1994 (Shawshank, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Lion King) or 1980 (Empire Strikes Back, The Shinging, Airplane!, Raging Bull)
Thank god somebody agrees that the hobbit was good
***** My only problem for The Hobbit is that the fact they stretched out an ultimately small amount of content in a childrens' book into a cash grab trilogy that tried WAY too hard to emulate LOTR.
ClawTheWonderful Agreed and a cooldown on the CGI could've made it better.
***** And Gone Girl!
SpawnRevenge92 I hadn't seen it yet, but I've seen it now and I thought it was one of Fincher his best films
The best year for movies was 1939.The wizard of oz, Gone with the wind, wuthering heights all came out that year.1939 is the year hollywood got it right.
Keep em coming guys! This series is the highlight of my week for youtube.
Next movie fight. Which Leonardo DiCaprio role should've won an Oscar?
who is the most deadly trained assasin in a movie?
TV Show you want to see in IMAX:
LEGO Ninjago because it’s so surprisingly cinematic and epic
What type of movie should peter Jackson do now that the hobbit movies are over?
Type? Horror. Since he did both Dead Alive (or Braindead) and LOTR's, it's only natural he could breath much needed life into one franchise: Friday the 13th. Hand's down he'd probably make the Dark Knight of 80's slasher reboots.
Interesting question... he appears to have moved to TinTin. I would like to see him try some more book adaptations that aren't easily turned into movies, as he and his collaborators are good writers, but then he has the clear ability and experience to make compelling live action big movies. Would like to hear them argue over this :)
Maybe he could make The Silmarillion into a 24 part movie.
shmaveyea i'm reading the silmarillon right now actually i'm only 200 pages into but my GOD this book is dense ! but honestly it could easily fit in 7 movies, but the owners of silmarillon won't allow anyone to adapt it into a movie so...
MVP Dijidox
you got further than me.. I don't think I finished the first chapter, but I was very young at the time. Besides, the way it starts with a genesis story is probably not going to make it into an American movie anyway. I think they'll do Unfinished Tales and the sequel book that Chris Tolkien has been writing if anything. But if it involves Hobbit feet, I doubt Peter Jackson will do it!!
You all aren't going back far enough. 1939 was the best year for cinema.
1. Gone with the Wind
2. Wizard of Oz
3. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
finally someone who knows movies...thank you!!!
I genuinely do not understand how anyone can watch Jimmy Stewart's wide-eyed, babe-in-the-woods overacting in Mr. Smith goes to Washington and not become unreasonably angry. It's very nearly an unwatchable movie for the performance alone.
considering he was nominated for an Oscar for his performance as Jefferson Smith..your analysis is completely baseless...
It's hard to nominate a year when most of us weren't even alive
DeepSpaceNinja I'm with the Ninja from deep space here. None of these even ring a bell, except for Wizard of Oz because I saw a few clips from it. Call us spoiled brats all you want, but you also need to account that production values from that time are so pathetic they don't stand up the test of time. Wizard of Oz looks like a freaking high school play with cardboard backgrounds. I was born 50 years too late for this stuff to be relevant.
It's just too far gone in the past. Plenty of so called classics of Cinema are unbearable for me. They just sound and look like shit. I'd rather read a book called Wizard of Oz than watch the movie. Books as a medium of entertainment don't evolve. It's just words on a page. Doesn't matter if the page is paper or a computer monitor, even if I prefer paper. But movies? If I was able to travel back in time with the proper equipment to show the people from 1939 Peter's Jackson's LOTR movies, it would blow their minds so hard some of them would probably straight up die of amazement.
Oh my god, why do I love watching these fights so much?!
Best year for movies has to be 1994
Shawshank Redemption
Pulp Fiction
Forest Gump
The Lion King
Dumb and Dumber
just saying
Best film of 1994. Not a year. Wings Of Liberty Methods of beets for reading books. -I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump. The Lion King Interesting and fun. I can't say,,,,,,,,,,
I'm surprised that no one gave 1977, 1978, or 2008.
2008 had some good bredth
+Edward O'Brien dark Knight was in 08
+Edward O'Brien overrated or not gotta give credit when credits due & I can name a bunch of bad films released any year, I guess you got me with twilight though.

My favorite year from the past 20 is 1999.
We got Fight Club, The Matrix, American Beauty, American Pie, Eyes Wide Shut (R.I.P. Stanley), The Iron Giant, The Green Mile, The Sixth Sense, Toy Story 2, The Thomas Crown Affair, Office Space, and Galaxy Quest.
Good choice of movies and year, but the sisth sense? Dont know iron giant, galaxy quest maybe.
Please do an honest trailer of Annabelle!!!!!!!
Yes
Well, as a writer, to be honest, Annabel b!!!!!!!
Anabell please
28:47 what is the problem with John Carter? It is extremely good movie. For decades filmmakers were borrowing from Burroughs and his amazing universe and this is the first movie that does justice to the whole Barsoom series. And in that movie, he plays John Carter really well, he is smart, calculating, intricate, yes, the movie focuses on his first visit of Barsoom, as does A Princess of Mars, which only further shows, how good an interpretation this is, but it was in 1866, of course he was confused and he managed very well and just think back on his time on earth, how he played everyone, fought against uneven odds, you felt desperate with him and hopeful and the climax at the very end, when you went from victory, to despair and finally back to victory in a matter of minutes. I think it was an amazing movie and one that showed his talent.
John Carter was a decent movie. It was the trailers and the marketing campaign that were horrible.
Jason Brown
Yes, the whole marketing process was terrible. But I don´t think it has damaged the movie. It has perhaps reduced the number of people interested and perhaps some people who were expecting some barbar conan with superpowers nonsense were disappointed, but for the majority, the movie turned out way, way better than what the marketing promised.
I know John Carter is super cheesy and all but I love it
Conor Beggs That book is over 100 years old, with that in consideration, it seems so cheesy mostly because so many movies and books borrowed from it.
***** what was borrowed?
1980 was one of the very best years in cinema. And probably the most unique. (Raging Bull, The Empire Strikes Back, The Elephant Man, Airplane, Caddyshack, The Shining, The Blues Brothers, Stardust Memories, Ordinary People, Nine to Five, The Long Riders, Gloria, Flash Gordon, Popeye, Stir Crazy)
okay I really hope that someone says 1994 because it really is a great year
I just did in the comments... lol
The Client, Natural Born Killers, The Mask, Clear and Present Danger are a few others from that year.
like there are not only great movies of all time, but great movies in their respected genres like the great comedies that were there and some great action films and my personal favourite disney movie
