I guarantee one could put together a similar list of (soon to be) classics from 2017-2020 that rivals those movies from 1957-1960. I'd be interested to see you

- slg 6y agoMy taste is less arthousey so I’m not the one to make the list of modern parallels for these movies. But since you asked, here is my personal list after looking at my Letterboxd (in no particular order) Parasite, Little Women, Into the Spiderverse, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Lady Bird, Phantom Thread, Knives Out, Annihilation, and Get Out. Almost all of those movies involve some type of unconventional approach or risk by the filmmakers. For example even something as basic as the adaption of a century and a half old book is handled in a new and innovative way unlike the countless earlier adaptations. Heck even the freaking Spider-Man movie was playing with the form in ways that no other movie has ever done before. The artistry, the evolution, and everything else is still there if you look for it.
- cageface 6y agoThose are good films I agree but to me they do not have the same sense of excitement and discovery I get from the best of the 60s and 70s.
