I know you could just argue and disagree with the person about what the best of so and so is. It probably depends on how one sees movies as such. Like for an example, Person A could think that Django Unchained is objectively the best movie of 2012, but Person B disagrees and says that the actual best is Dark Knight Rises. It’s all about perspective of what makes a movie(s) good from a non-opinionated POV. Then nobody should ever argue about movies if that is the case. Sure, certain plot holes, bad writing, bad acting etc. in certain places will bother some people more than others, but bad writing is bad writing whether it bothers the person or not. I like TDKR a lot but it has bad writing in many areas. Then there will people who disagree that it has bad writing and in that case I would disagree to the point of saying they are wrong. Or maybe we talk and something I see as bad writing isn't actually bad writing and that person has made me like the movie even more than I already do. Just to be clear I personally think the good/great aspects of TDKR far outweigh the not so good aspects of the movie. Highly agree. But see, I know that there are also those who are very differing with their opinions who think those movies aren’t even that good at all. See all the TDKR haters for my case. Basically, they think one movie has become popular to like and have the tendency to say that another movie is the best over that. Though, I agree to an extent that good and bad writing can be objective.

Then there are the hardcore unreasonable fanboys who just won't listen to any criticisms. It's a two sided coin.

Raimo47You are older than I would have guessed based on your choices. we are basically the same age as ill be 40 later this year. My least favorite decades are pre-1960's for sure as nearly everything of any real worth was made from the 1960's to date in my book. but with that said... if I stick to my favorites decades, which is the 1990's to date, since they make up about 80% of my favorite movies in general, then I would say the 2010's is my least favorite decade among my strongest decades (the 1990's is slightly ahead of the 2010's decade for me as while the 2010's have a higher volume of my favorites, where the 1990's makes up for it is in the higher tier movies. the 2000's is my favorite decade for movies straight up). but I will say in terms of overall years, 2019 (and some others in recent memory) are pretty weak compared to my more typical year from the not too distant past. At one point The Dark Knight (2008), and maybe a little more, was among my favorite movies. but at this point in time there is not a single super hero movie I score above a 6/10 (a mild Thumbs Up) as while I do like some, none of them stand out when looking at all movies in general. but thanks for the info.

moviemouthbut it's still pointless because 'best' is more of a attempt to be objective. but movies are ultimately subjective on what's good and what's not no matter how you slice it. hence, it's pointless to differentiate between 'favorite' and 'best' as they are basically the same thing. but it all comes back to personal enjoyment as I am not super articulate on why I might dislike or like a movie etc (sometimes I am a little better at it than other times though) but that's why I let my scores for movies sum things up (which comes back to some sort of emotional response etc) as when I score a movie higher (i.e. 7's and higher) then you know it's among the upper echelon of movies for me straight up as only around 7% of everything I have seen scores a 7 or higher which would make it within my top 7% of movies which means I like it more than 93% of what I have seen. p.s. I get your point though. but it will still boil down to whether the other person likes the movie or not so it's ultimately subjective and favorite and best are pretty much the same thing. because going by your own standards there... say I said 'Movie A is the best movie of 2019' and the other person disagreed, it's still boiling down to that persons personal like or dislike of a movie and is subjective.

The ones that I find myself revisiting the most (I suppose that makes them my favorites)
1. BR 2049
2. Mandy
3. Interstellar
4. Gods of Egypt (I know everyone hates this movie but I found it a fun film and I like Ancient Egypt)
5. Fury
I really enjoyed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but I'll have to revisit it once its out on Blu-ray. I also really enjoyed Dunkirk but haven't watched it since I saw it theatrically.

It all depends on what the person means by "best." There are people who use it objectively in attempt to prove that they have a better understanding of a movie. Then there are the people who just use it as another word for favorite.

moviemouthI can agree with that if 'attempt' applies to objectively since I think for the most part the word 'objective' does not really apply to something that's subjective like movies etc are. also, I am sure some people read into movies quite a bit, like they might possibly understand a movie in greater detail etc, and that's fine and all, but for me, and I would have to assume the majority of people (if not the vast majority), it ultimately comes back to ones all around enjoyment of watching a movie on whether a movie is of any real worth or not. so regardless if whether someone understands greater detail in movies (or more meaning etc) movies or not as much as others that still don't guarantee someone would like a movie even if they understood the meaning more etc. just some thoughts
