With the recent writers and actors strikes, the immediate future for film is looking pretty bleak. So we wanted to take a look at what the worst years for film were and what caused them to be so bad. It's common to discuss the best years in film history because there are just so many to choose from. But for the worst it's more difficult than just doing the opposite and finding the years that released the worst movies, like 2003 with The Room, Gigli and The Cat in the Hat. It makes more sense to look at the years with lacklustre lineups that didn't reach the highs most years usually do.
In this video we'll explore the worst years in film history, and we found 4 of them. We'll be looking at blockbusters, Oscar lineups, and any significant events that negatively affected the film industry. Three of the years that stood out had a valid reason, whether it's a global pandemic, advancements in film technology or film strikes.

I will defend PJs King Kong as long as i live. The actors, sets and effects were great. Sure it is long but King Kong is supposed to be an epic and instead of what he did later with the Hobbit stretching the story of 2 movies into 3 here he packed 2 movies into one which to me is rly impressive. Also as a big fan of spec evo its insane how much effort went into the creatures and bioms of Skull Island making almost all of them believable and act like real animals. There also is a great book about this movies version of SI if anyone is interessted its called a natural history of skull island. Unfortunately u can't buy it anymore but there are many great vids on utube about it. I would recommend the video Unnatural History Channel made about it.

@@lukeschlorholtz That film just gives us so much. The great atmosphere of 1930s New York a boat ride like in an old adventure movie, horror elements with natives and ofc the biggest star Skull Island itself. If I had to nitpick I'd say the ending is a bit to long but then again it is supposed to be epic and larger then life as an omage to the og one of the most revolutionary movies of all time. Also and don't get me wrong i love the first JP but if ur after a great dinosaur adventure King Kong will probably fit u more since JP at its core rly is more a Sci-Fi thriller with lots of ethical talk about what science should and shouldn't do. Again i love the movie for that but King Kong is almost the purest prehistoric adventure u can get.

@Zed-fq3lj 7 месяцев назад

Everything spot on about King Kong! Add Sin City there, and 10 or so other movies: a solid history epic Kingdom of Heaven (but only Director's Cut) and a bunch of mediocre/ok movies (The Island, Proposition, Revenge of the Sith, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Batman Begins, all good/ok movies but nothing extraordinary) but that was all from 2005 - objectively the worst year of that decade compared to any other.

@marvinbohme7575 7 месяцев назад

I have asked question myself a few times but not enough for having a qualified answer. And the more I tend to pick out a specific year for that title the more difficult it becomes. And the thing is when you decentralize that Hollywood-Oscar point of view and focus on other areas of the world that had, at several occasions, done better films as Hollywood did (1970 as an example for the European cinema like Melville's "Le Cercle Rouge"), it becomes almost impossible to narrow it down to one year while it's also based on your own preferences. Great video tho! With all the historical context for better understanding. That was good 👍

A lot of people blame David Benioff (one of the two Game of Thrones show runners) for how bad X-Men origins turned out, and I certainly think he had plenty to do with the bad script, but nobody ever mentioned how by the time cameras were rolling, he was on strike with the rest of the industry.

This was a very informative and well thought out analysis. The discussion on talkies and the strikes were very good. I think 2005 suffered as well because of how many bangers 1999-2004 had as well as well as Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter franchises being so iconic and a major timecapscule for pre 2005. As you say 2006 and 2007 had several classics and 2008 for good and ill was the birth of the cinematic universe structure. A great video to listen to walking to work.

This era had Batman & Robin, Godzilla '98, Space Jam, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Steel, Alien: Resurrection, Spy Hard, The Phantom, Jack, The (British) Avengers, Star Trek: Insurrection, Quest For Camelot, Bio-Dome, Home Alone 3, and Kazaam just to name a few.

But big studios, especially for the time, thought of it as lesser. That's why they got less budget.

As someone who was born in 2001, as far as memories, I felt like 2004 was the year and era that I remembered the most of. Especially seeing classics being advertised or getting toys for Spider-Man 2, Shrek 2, or The Incredibles. But I never thought 2005 was ever a bad year since there were still plenty of a good films. I always felt it blended with 2004 well. But by 2007, I used to hate it because it was constantly filled with sequels, remakes, and movies that would get memed. Spider-Man 3? Transformers? F*cking Bee Movie? Shrek the Third? But a few weeks ago, I rediscovered the year, and seen commercial complications of 2007 and I totally forgot how good it actually was. And the hated films have gained more respect. (Besides Shrek the Third.) 2006 waa a forgettable year. Nothing stood out to me or from memories. 2008 was a struggling follow up to 2007, but even back then, I always thought 2009 was the absolute worst. So many awful films, and a time when even cable shows from Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Cartoon Network straight up sucked. The time when live action dominated CN, so many unfunny teen sitcoms, and back when SpongeBob was at his lowest. Just boring and negative. But once 2010 came around, it was not only a new decade but a breath of fresh air after being in the pit of that era from my youth. And by 2012, it was really, really good and i felt was my last golden era of my life since that year we moved somewhere else, and I was my final year for elementary school before middle school.

2009 was more infamous for being, what a lot of cartoon critics call the worst year for TV animation. Meanwhile, Schaffrillas, Cell Spex and other cartoon enthusiasts believe that it was also the year animated movies peaked. While I can see the argument, I also believe that it was also the year movies based on kids shows peaked! Hannah Montana The Movie, Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie, Totally Spies The Movie, The Fairly OddParents Wishology Trilogy, Ed Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show, Ben 10 Alien Swarm and Scooby Doo The Mystery Begins. There were at least a few that just so happened to also release that year that weren't that great: Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword, Land of the Lost, the only one of these shows that I never grew up watching, 70s nor 90s, and SpongeBob's Truth or Square which I wouldn't even call a movie as it was wasting so much time stretching the runtime. We also could've gotten a Chowder movie releasing either in 2009 or 2010 but cancelled in the middle of production. But the fond memories outweigh the bad. There are a variety of reasons why it was the best year for kids show based movies. 1. I can't find any other year that had the MOST movies based on kids shows. 2. Two of them released exclusively in theaters. 3. Some of them were made to celebrate the anniversary of their respective shows. 4. Many of them elevated the popularity and/or potential of their respective shows. It was one of the best times to be a fan of kids shows as I was a kid at the time!

This was a well thought out video. I would imagine that any year where there are major strikes going on is a bad period for movies since union members cannot continue production or even promote their work during strikes. Even in 2023, we still got some great movies, but as of now, there’s the actors strike still going on.

I’m glad you spotlighted 1929 as one of the worst years for film for the reason of the innovation of sound and not just focus on films from the last 20 years. I would argue though that with enough research one would be able to find worse movie years than say 2005. There were some awful movies, the Devil’s Rejects comes to mind. While I really liked Crash upon its initial release it seems more heavy-handed with age. I am curious though, what was disappointing about Peter Jackson’s King Kong? It was a spectacular remake that honours the legacy of the original and has all the passion and excitement of the best blockbusters of the 2000’s. Munich, my favourite movie of that year was an excellent examination on a county’s reaction to terrorism which begs the question: can we effectively respond to violence with more violence and find any resolution in this complex world? 5 Oscar nominations notwithstanding, it’s arguably Spielberg’s most underrated film. As you mentioned, Revenge of the Sith came out that year which is by far the best of the Star Wars prequels. Batman Begins for crying out loud! It was one of the best franchise course corrections after 1997’s disastrous Batman & Robin (which to be fair is kind of fun to watch if your in the mood for Bat-Butts and Bat Credit Cards😂). When Ebert and Roeper compiled their top 10 list for 2005 they said with complete confidence that if they were asked to make a top 20 list for that year they could easily make a list for 2005 that they would be proud of. I thought your examination of the effect of the 2007 writer’s strike was pretty spot on which, yes, resulted in the shakiness(in more ways than one) of Quantum of Solace and the robot testicles in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (yes, this actually happens in the movie). My criticisms aside, great video and analysis. Keep up the great work! Let’s hope the movies of 2024/2025 don’t suffer and if they do let this serve as a reminder for the studios NOT to take writers for granted and that they need to be paid what they’re worth!

@timsenesi6161 6 месяцев назад

2020 gets my vote, it was having to follow 2019 as you said which was honestly one of the best years for films in recent memory, probably even better than 2014, and I think the only films I saw that year that really wowed me were Saint Maud and Another Round, when I feel like most years I have at least 3 or 4 that really stick with me.

With the Naughties 2000 to 2009. Most of the best movies in that decade were not big budget movies. Most of the best movies that decade were either Indie movies, Horror movies, or movies by amazing film directors, Fincher, Scorsese etc etc. For the Horror genre the 00’s was a very good decade, you had like a 70’s grindhouse/ exploitation revival in the 00’s. And I think the reason for that is 9/11. 9/11 gave people a fear that the Horror genre tapped into like the 70’s tapped into the fear of the Serial Killer. It’s no surprise that after 9/11 there was a revival in 70’s style Home Invasion Horror movies, Vacancy (2007), The Strangers (2008), etc etc. So the 00’s when it comes to the Horror genre was very good, and like a 70’s part 2 vibe with Horror.

yeah, it had bad movies, but it was truly that last amazing year we got in film. Literally hoards of great films came from 2019. its rare i could make a top 20 favourite movies of each year, and Ive done it with 2019.
