Better Film: Joker or Whiplash

Whiplash

Whiplash by a pretty decent margin

Whiplash. Joker is one of my favorites of the decade, but Whiplash is my single favorite of the decade.

Personally I'd say Joker, though both are among the best films of the decade.

Whiplash

@subline: take me off your tag list you disease.

Whiplash easily. It's a great movie.

Whiplash.

Joker edges out IMO.

Whiplash stomps for me. Shook me up.

JK Simmons was more terrifying and gave a better performance than Phoenix . There . I said it .

Whiplash. Might be bias though since it’s my favourite film of modern times. But the editing was sublime, the writing of Fletcher vs Andrew was judiciously done and the message of hard work + unappreciated talent resonated with me.

I haven't watched Whiplash so can't say which is better. Joker is my favourite film of the 2010's though. I'll watch Whiplash sometime in the next few days and then come back to this thread. I'll be astonished if it's better than Joker.

Unpopular opinion, I did not like whiplash.

Whiplash stomps

Whiplash, Fletcher is one of the scariest characters I've seen in a film and I love how the end is tragic but seems triumphant on the surface.
