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.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

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.
