Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I did search and was only able to find one top that wasn't exactly what I am asking anyways, I was kinda surprised that there wasn't a topic like this, so if there is feel free to ignore this thread and just post the link.

Anyways, I am wondering what everyone's top 5 ski movies are in the last 5 years, and then also what your top 5 ski movies are in the last 10 years.  I'm looking to expand my ski movie collection (I only have a couple) and am looking for your suggestions

To be fair, as much as I hate to say it, I bet many many people on this website haven't seen any ski movies that are more than 5 years old. I thought Refresh is a great movie--my 2nd favorite L1P flick of all time to Forward--but to say that it is the best movie of the last decade is a dramatic overstatement. The fact that movies like The Game or Royalty (only mentioend once) aren't even on that list just proves it. Not even a single mention of flicks like Scandalous or Wicked. When you see people saying "Mickael who?" in the forums, you know we have a problem. Not trying to sound like some old douche or something but you gotta take a step back sometime to learn your roots. I do understand accessibility can be difficult as I'm assuming The Harvest isn't readily available on DVD.

Indeed. Everyday is a Saturday is the best ski movie I've seen. Though FP's Eyes Wide Open was super awesome to.

Session 1242 or Yearbook.

At the premier for Yearbook, when the movie started with Mark Abma's section and they had the beat drop with the slow-mo shot of him doing the switch 7 with the wrap around heli shot, I'm pretty sure the entire audience jizzed in their pants. That was the first time anyone had seen any kind of filming like that. It was so fucking sick.

And of course no one can forget Pep's section in 1242. It was just insane.

How has no one mentioned Focused. It's only 7 years olds now. Is that honestly too old for people to have seen?

1242 had a few epic segments, but it also had some pretty week blends of other Oakley riders. At times it felt more like a promotional video than a ski movie.

I'd say TBC and Idea are the top two in the last 5 years.
