I will second Boca Bills' "nothing" comment. I have had simple guidelines for movies for the last decode or so. 1. Has to be rated R. 2. Can not be a remake, sequel, reimagining, etc.... I need new ideas. 3. No super hero movies. These 3 general rules eliminate almost all Disney/Marvel/Star Wars movies. No before I get roasted, I will admit there are some exceptions to these rules. (For Example, GodFather 2) And there are movies I am nostalgic for because I watched them when I was younger. However, the movies I enjoy these days are adult movies with new ideas and stories.

I'm guessing you haven't watched much or any movies in the last decade or so, then. Movies that are purely new ideas? Name 10 great movies in the last 50 years that meet your criteria--which as you know eliminates all of the Mario Puzo based Godfather films.
LeGOATski Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 As if everything hasn't been done already.... The space western genre could be something new for Hollywood to explore... I recently watched Prospect, which I thought was good. Stars Pedro Pascal of GoT, Narcos, and now Mandalorian fame. If you wanna watch the movie, don't watch that full trailer. It shows way too much.

Not trying to get in a battle here. Just telling you the movies I enjoy. Some examples in recent years without thinking too much. There Will be Blood, 12 Monkeys, No Country for Old Men, Children of Men, Seven, Any Tarentino films, Saving Private Ryan....

Your definition of "recent years" is very interesting. Earlier you said movies from the last decade or so and then included Godfather 2 (1974). Now you've just included 2007, 1995, 2007 again, 2006, 1995 again, a wide widow for Tarantino, and 1998 all as recent. I'm also not trying to pick a fight here, but I find it interesting. I think all to often we think of a movie as recent only to realize that it came out longer ago than we realize. Nothing on your list outside of the most recent Tarantino stuff is younger than 10 years.
Marv's Neighbor Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 About 20 years ago we were at Disneyland when the ride Splash Mountain was new. It had an easy 2hr line to get to the ride. I asked my wife, how many people here in line have any idea the theme of this ride? No way to answer that, BUT!!!!! Zipaadeedooah!

The way things are nowadays, Disney has probably found a way to display and monetize ‘Flash Mountain’. No, that is not a typo.

I should have said in the last couple decades or since I was out of college. All good either way. Despite my lack of care for Disney and affiliated productions, I will probably end up subscribing due to the GF.

No, that is not a typo. You're right! They take your picture, when your log/boat comes down that last big hill. It got the name Flash Mountain because many of the women used to raise their tops for the picture. I, on the other hand, had both hands locked around whatever bar device was there. If Crystal Beach had that, maybe they'd still be there? 1

Having grown up in Buffalo, during the 50's, I always looked forward to watching Disneyland. Always thought no way I'd ever get there. Well I made it in 1970, and it was everything that I had imagined! Beautiful, clean, nice people etc. Last time there was late 90's, and the neighborhood had obviously changed, and not for the better! Now California seems to have declined further! Just proves the vision of Walt Disney. He owns so much land in Florida, that there will never be any deteriorating neighborhoods to deal with.
