4. A Separation
5. Inside Llewyn Davis
6. The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
7. Drive
8. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
9. Gone Girl
10. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
Or something like that. I left out a bunch of other good stuff that was worthy.
Enter the Void
Poetry
Fish Tank
Laurence Anyways
Detention
Holy Motors
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Attack the Block
Trash Humpers
The Skin I Live In or Tchoupitoulas or Nebraska, I can't decide
This thread is making me happy. People backing me up on We Need To Talk About Kevin and The Skin I Live In and even Scott Pilgrim. All films that have stayed with me far more than I expected.
But more than anything this is very helpful for prioritizing what to catch up on. Keep 'em coming!
Based on the letter grade I gave them at the time...
1. Inception (A)
2. The Master (A)
3. Mad Max: Fury Road (A)
4. Drive (A-)
5. Inherent Vice (A-)
6. The Dark Knight Rises (A-)
7. Black Swan (A-)
8. 12 Years A Slave (A-)
9. Toy Story 3 (A-)
10. The Artist (A-)
And man, I know, "The Artist," right? I only saw it once (at an early morning NYFF screening) but it moved me to tears! But these are literally the only 10 movies I've given an "A" letter grade to in the last 4.5 years. Some of my faves topped out at a B+ (The Raid 2: Berandal, Birdman, Gone Girl, Gravity, The Wolf Of Wall Street, Zero Dark Thirty, The Raid: Redemption, Shut Up And Play The Hits, Bridesmaids, Attack The Block, The Social Network, 127 Hours). For a movie to be an "A" I have to have a physical reaction to it. And those movies all lifted me out of my seat.
And a special shout-out to these two films which I've watched more than most of the ones previously mentioned (MacGruber, Bridesmaids) and what has become my favorite Marvel movie, which I enjoyed but slightly underrated at the time, Captain America: The First Avenger.

I was trying to do a top 50 earlier, so ill just dump some that come to mind
1. the master (no doubt)
the tree of life

exit through the gift shop
Drive
also;, Great Beauty, Her, blue valentine, leviathan (2012 doc), inception, its such a beautiful day, under the skin, only god forgives, force majuere, room 237, perverts guide to ideology
So after Mad Max I hopped into Hot Pursuit, which would be on a list I'd make that'd be called Best of the 10s In Terms of Redbox at The Multiplex, along with 2 Guns, Instructions Not Included, After Earth, Peeples, movies like that, and anyway Garam if you see Hot Pursuit you're like the Sofia Vergara character and I'm Reese Witherspoon.
We usually go by US release dates. Dogtooth's LA/NY premier was June 2010. Plus it's on both The Dissolve's and AV Club's decade lists, so I figured it was legit.
Either way, it'll probably be knocked off my list once I see a few more movies.
So, this is what I came up with without thinking too much about it:
The Master
Shame
E Agora? Lembra-me (What Now? Remind Me)
The Tree of Life
Django Unchained
The Social Network
Passion
Sangue do Meu Sangue (Blood of my Blood)
La Piel que Habito (The Skin I Live In)
Somewhere
perhaps:
Nostalgia of the light
Tabu
The Master
The Wolf of Wall Street
The Tree of Life
The Act of Killing
La Grande Belleza
All is Lost
Post Tenebras Lux
Sweetgrass
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Inherent Vice

mad max: fury road
place beyond the pines

Been thinking about this. Currently have four movies in mind, and they're all Ms:
mother!
Melancholia
The Master
Mad Max: Fury Road
Roughly in that order, I think. Each time I've watched mother! (three times) it's grown in my estimation. It's one of the most perfect films I've seen, and every single minute is an intense delight. Melancholia is so glorious though—a very close second.
Anyone have some thoughts on this decade?
have you watched The Skin I Live In recently? it holds

Why count Enter the Void as a 10s film?
there's genuinely a worldwide reason to count it as a 10s film. as in even in france it was released 2010
just cheeked the release date on imdb, it was released on 17 June 2009 in brazil and then almost a year later in france. that's weird.
I guess it should replace something on my list as well then
not sure what was going on in brazil but i'm sure its final cut premiered at 2010's sundance

I really like Moonlight. But come on.
I liked Moonlight, but wasn't nearly as struck by it as I was Beale Street...

A nice long read next time you're snowbound?
it's not an accurate list but it's eclectic and eclectic is possible while accurate isn't. one thing i like and only noticed because of you people is how long they take to list PTA, sorry not sorry, anyway they should have listed his other movie first when they first mentioned him
I wanted to mess around with iMovie, so I decided to try this decade thing.
1) The Master
2) Mad Max: Fury Road
3) Tree of Life
4) Blue is the Warmest Color
5) Margaret
6) Phantom Thread
7) Good Time
8) Mektoub My Love: Canto Uno
9) The Florida Project
10) The Social Network
...and imagine that Holy Motors is in there, too. With Weekend. And Inside Llewyn Davis. And...
A moment of silence for all the actors traumatized by Abdellatif Kechiche over the past decade.
just want to say it's great that you want to make videos so you're making videos now
Nice Drenk, really enjoyed the song choices! Especially the Master/Purple Mountains mash-up, that was great.
the social network and the master was my favorite parts!
Thanks! I included The Social Network mostly because I wanted to begin with Real!Zuckerberg, the fact that more time has passed since the release of the movie than between the creation of Facebook and the movie is kind of chilling. And that Purple Mountains song is a cathartic way to end the decade.
Another movie I'm thinking about a lot is The Handmaiden, which had the impact on me I was expecting from Parasite.
Paul Schrader listed his own film but i would do the same

I'm not sure how in the hell I haven't heard about Brigsby Bear but perhaps this was the best way for it to arrive to me. letterboxd is already in on this (https://letterboxd.com/film/brigsby-bear/), that's where I learned about it in fact, although it's obvious too: you get Christopher Miller and Phil Lord as producers, the lead is an SNL person, Andy Samberg is in it too, a fake mother is Jane Adams, a fake father is Mark Hamill, and a real father is Matt Walsh. I mean you get what you would expect from these ingredients
it kills it. it's Clifford today. I can't fully explain Brigsby Bear without going on-and-on but basically it kills it
