What’s the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have ‘found their audience’ but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.
The Nice Guys deserved more recognition for sure.
It had little no advertisement at all and it was overshadowed by a lot of other movies that came out that year: La La Land, Deadpool, Rogue One, Split, The Founder, Captain Fantastic… These are just some of the big titles that came out in 2016.
The only reason I saw it was because they put it on at my local movie theater one evening that I had nothing better to do: I went in with low expectations and came out having seen one of my top favorite movies ever.
Damn, 2016 was a stacked year for film.
I forgot, there were also Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight, another two spectacular movies.
But 2016 was also the year of Batman v. Superman and Suicide Squad and those brought down the average a few notches…
