I'm shocked you can all remember everything you've seen in the past decade. I sure can't, so I'll just list "The VelociPastor", because we all know that it deserves to be #1 all the way through #10.

 

I always just use google and count the movies that I seen. Cause man..a decade of movies is a lot to comb through.

 

Even the ones I have seen I'm not going to automatically remember. I'd probably count "The Wailing" and "Unthinkable" in terms of sheer impact. Those movies left me thinking about them for awhile; I sometimes still do.

 

Yeah movies that came and went wouldn't be added for me.

 

Joker
The wolf of wall street
American hustle
Inception
12 years a slave
Beast of no nation
Fast and furious 7
Tangled
Deadpool
The Avengers

 

Mind you in NO particular order!

Mad Max Fury Road
Ex Machina
Dredd
Arrival
Life
John Wick
Blade Runner 2049
The Cabin in The Woods
Sicario
Deadpool

I forgot

 

Yeh the social network is a good movie.

 

In that case --

3) Unthinkable: This received mixed reviews and was dumped straight to DVD, yet amusingly, it was the reception that made me appreciate the movie that much more. Michael Sheen plays a terrorist who has been detained by the Government, but claims he's planting three nuclear bombs that are set to go off. Carrie-Anne Moss is an FBI Agent investigating the case and Samuel Jackson plays an interrogator. The movie deals with torture and whether it should be used to extract information. Many commenters didn't like that the movie doesn't really answer the question of whether it's right or wrong, but that's why I loved it. It lets the audience decide, reinforced by its ambiguous ending. I love movies that make me think that way. "Gone, Baby, Gone" is another one that had be questioning what is right or wrong, but that was the last decade.

2) I Saw the Devil: An intense, exciting and nail biting thriller from South Korea about a serial killer who finds himself preyed on by a rogue special agent after killing his fiance. The action scenes are stylishly staged and choreographed. The suspense makes you uncomfortable and every confrontation is satisfying. Yet I think my favorite aspect of this is how bizarre and darkly humorous the story can be, such as how seemingly everyone in this city seems to be some sort of pervert or serial killer -- or their victims. There's also the possibility that the agent might becoming the monster he's fighting. Great stuff.

1) The Wailing: Another South Korean film, this actually scared me. The strange thing is... it starts off more comedic than scary, with the protagonist engaging in goofy shenanigans and having the funniest reactions to grisly or spooky stuff. Yet it turns out that the humor is meant to disarm you for how dark and terrifying the story is about to become. Yet what elevates it over most horror flicks -- even great ones like "Hereditary" or "The Conjuring" -- is that there's a lot of subtle nuances within the story you might not catch the first time. Disturbing implications, creative foreshadowing, every time I've watched the movie I've noticed something new or different. There's a lot of stuff up for debate surrounding the motivations of the characters.

The problem with these kinds of lists for me is that I've noticed my favorite films are off the beaten path of mainstream American cinema, so don't appear in a lot of "Movies released in whatever year" lists.

 

on top of my head
Fury Road
Blade Runner 2
Winter Soldier
Kungfu Panda 2
prolly Joker if I watched it (i am Batman fanboys, so i am sure it will be)
Drive
Creed 1 or 2. 1 is better 2 is formulaic, but Creed 2 hit me hard. I have 3 yo daughter who is very smart but cant speak fluently yet. and Sly's word hit me hard,

edited for the exact part
the rests would be more really subjective like
Dr Strange
Thor Ragnarocks
Snowpiercer
Edge of Tommorow

tbh my list change all the time

 

I felt the same way about "Creed", even though it isn't in my own list. The first is better, but the 2nd had moments that threatened to make me cry.

 

The first first are in a correct order, but the last five is not. I think The Wailing and Baskin would end up on any of these lists that I made, but I'm not really sure. There's just been an insane amount of fantastic movies this decade, and aside from the five first it's really close between a shitload of movies.

1. The Void
2. The Night Comes for Us
3. Bone Tomahawk
4. The Hateful Eight
5. Blancanieves
The Wailing
Baskin
Mandy
One Cut of the Dead
Revenge



I decided to not include documentaries, but there's been so many fantastic documentaries over the past 10 years that we should all just make my own top 10's of documentaries as well:

Spoiler:

Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th
Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy
Rewind This!
Adjust Your Tracking
Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films
Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan
Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship & Videotape
Herschell Gordon Lewis: The Godfather of Gore
Machete Maidens Unleashed!
Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel

And a few short movies that deserves tons of attention:

Spoiler:

1. Yellow
2. Venom: Truth in Journalism
3. Bio-Cop
4. Raging Balls of Steel Justice
5. The Punisher: Dirty Laundry
Brutal Relax
The Final Moments of Karl Brant
Terrifier
The Fisherman

 

End Game isnt a top 10 movie so star wars being better is irrelevant

 

Venom
Fant4stic
Justice League
Suicide squad
Batman V superman
Man of steel
Green Lantern
Dark Phoenix
The Amazing Spider-man 2
Thor 2

Best movies easy.

 

"The Hateful 8" might be my 4th entry. It didn't get the #1 spot of its year, but I always have this desire to revisit it. A western-themed murder mystery with a great cast trapped in a small in by a blizzard... and it's directed by Quentin Tarantino. It's almost like he made it entirely for me.

 

1. The Irishman
2. Avengers
3. Creed 1
4. Avengers Endgame
5. Mad Max Fury Road
6. John Wick
7. La La Land
8. Wolf of Wallstreet
9. Inglorious Basterds
10. Django
