re: The 25 Best Films of The 2010s

Nothing from Villeneuve made the list or even the honorable mentions. Incendies, Prisoners, Sicario, Arrival, and Blade Runner 2049 all being left out is surprising.

The wolf of wall street
Mad max
Ex machina
Arrival
Inception
El camino
Whiplash
Midsommar
Joker
The revenant
It
Hereditary

And many more

Damn I could have sworn I saw Sicario on there. That's a glaring omission considering it was nominated for a bunch of Oscars.

---

if you consider 3 to be a bunch, then yea, but none in the major categories (picture, acting, director, writing)


As for the list, I agree with a few of the picks, but overall it looks like a list someone would make to try and prove that they are a serious film connoisseur

My three favorites as of this time,

-Manchester by the Sea
-The Social Network
-Three Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri (surprised I'm the first one to mention it)

Someone mentioned The Big Sick earlier. Wouldn't put it in my top 10, but it might be the best romantic comedy of the decade.

1. The Tree of Life

Of course Terrence Malick has to be mentioned *rolls eyes*
Maybe I just didn't "get it" but that movie was difficult to watch and follow. Guess I'm not an art house movie kind of guy.

This X 100. Every time someone posts some love song about him I always post that every movie of his is like this...

Rain drop on leaves

Narrator/Actor: "I am here"

close up of an eye

"are you here"

Dinosaurs

"are we here"

baby in the womb

"can you hear me"

actor walking with feet in water

"can you feel me"

beautiful landscape in fast motion from sunrise to sunset

"are we one? or are we not even a thought?"

dead animal fast motion rots into maggots into dust

"are you mine?"

end credits....

Jesus Christ what a pompous list

Agreed. Very pompous.

Three Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri (surprised I'm the first one to mention it)

Good call. Loved that movie but it seems to have faded from the view of most people since I don’t think it is streaming anywhere

quote:

---

If Inception and Gravity are not on this list (which they are not), then the list is crap

---

Gravity sucked

Inception had its issues. I enjoyed it but I wouldn’t put it tops of the decade

Hell or High Water
Sicario
Tree of Life
Moonrise Kingdom
Room

are my top 5 in no order.

I would separate animated movies out because it's just so hard to compare, but Inside Out and Coco both stand on the mountaintop with the classics of the past.

Silence and The Master deserve no part of that top 25. The Master should be the go-to example for a film being able to have incredible acting, good writing, and good direction, but ultimately not amounting to anything memorable or interesting. The story needed a major hook and PTA needed to be severely curtailed in the editing room. Instead, we got those awesome auditing scenes and the jail cell scene and about 2h20m of pablum.
