#2
1994 = Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, Lion King, Ed Wood, True Lies, The Professional, Clerks, Dumb & Dumber, Stargate, & The Crow.
#3
1993 = Jurassic Park, Carlito's Way, The Fugtive, Schindler's List, Tombstone, Nightmare Before Christmas, Wayne's World 2, The Sandlot, Batman Mask of the Phantasm, Groundhog's Day, Philadelphia, and Rudy.

The Worst Year for Movie (Post-80's)
#1 - 2011 , did not care for this year. Besides the Marvel films that year, Take Shelter & Moneyball, I thought this was a pathetic year for movie. There were some random crappy movies that should have been direct to dvd like Red Riding Hood, Battle LA, I am Number Four, Drive Angry, Green Hornet. Useless franchise films - Hangover 2, The Smurfs, Transformers 3, Conan the Barbarian remake. Even Pixar didnt deliver, with releasing Cars 2.
#2 - 2003 - Another weak year, imo. Yeah, it did give us LOTR finale, but Hulk and DareDevil were failure Marvel movies. Barely remember anything else this year. Matrix 2 was terrible. Dumb and Dumber prequel. Freddy vs. Jason was a disappointment. A few great films were sprinkled in 2003 including Mystic River, Big Fish, Elf, Lost in Translation - but overall what a bad year.
#3 - 1999 - Phantom Menace was a massive disappointment, matrix was a surprise hit, but everything else wasnt that great from 1999. The movies that hit from 1999 really hit big - The Matrix, Fight Club, Office Space, Austin Powers 2, South Park , Sleepy Hollow, 007, Toy Story 2, Big Daddy and Sixth Sense. But besides that - my god - Wild Wild West, Eyes Wide Shut - the worst Stanley Kubrick movie ever, EDTV, Carrie 2, and the worst movie of all time came out in 99 - Wing Commander. 1999 had some gems, but everything else was useless in 1999.

Most Underrated Year = 2016
A lot of ppl online were typing that 2016 was a terrible year for movies. I disagree big time. I thought 2016, not the best, but a great fantastic year for film.
Blockbusters - Doctor Strange & Captain America Civil War - these were some of MCU best films. The Civil War airport scene was the greatest cbm action scene ever produced, imo. Star Trek Beyond , perhaps my favorite movie of the year. Really was better than Into Darkness. Great villain, great story, just everything about the film worked for me ! Deadpool - broke new ground with rated R marvel cbm. Jungle Book was a lot better than I thought.
Animated - Moana, Zootopia - great films. Kubo and Two Strings was also good.
Oscar Level - La La Land was one of the best musical films ever produced in the last 20 years, imo. I dont even like musicals, but i loved this one. Hacksaw Ridge - what a fantastic WW2 film. Andrew Garfield was amazing. Sully was great with Tom Hanks. Michael Shannon was excellent and nominated for Nocturnal Animals. But one of the best Oscar worthy movies = Arrival. Arrival was a Sci Fi movie that made you think, not just some average aliens are coming to eat us or say hi - but a movie that raised questions. Hell or High Water.
Underrated - Patriots Day & Deep Water Horizon. Two films starring Mark Wahlberg directed by the same guy were incredibly well made true stories that put you on the edge of your seat. The scores were fantastic too. The Founder - Michael Keaton was incredible as the founder of Mcdonalds. 13 Hours of Bengazi , Michael Bay proves he can be a talented director. That movie was so good. Eddie the Eagle, Hugh Jackman film based on true story that was overlooked in 2016. Not a lot of ppl saw it, but it was good. Gold was fantastic for those who didnt see it, based on a true story. I highly recommend that one. Also, Hands of Stone, the Roberto Duran story flew under the radar. Nerve - wow, had ZERO intentions of seeing this one. Thought it looked like it was made for Twilight audience. No thanks. Saw the movie -- and a complete shock was that it was really really highly entertaining. Not probable at all, but if u leave ur brain at the door, a fun ride.
Surprise hit - Cloverfield Lane. John Goodman nailed it. Great film. I hoped you guys saw this on the big screen. Also, Edge of Seventeen - do not dismiss this one as some teen flick. This one is REALLY good.
Overall, have to disagree with anyone who disliked 2016.
