Favorite 10 Movies in the Last 10 Years

[DACrowe]

This is an idea that just popped into my head. Most folks, critics as well as casual movie fans, have a habit of saying "the best [insert genre] in years." More specifically, "the best [insert genre] of the decade."

So I figured why not let folks really pick their top 10 favorites. I find what movies I like five years on from any given year are quite different than the actual year when we all do end of year lists. So how about it, what are you 10 favorite movies of the last 10 years?

(I will put my own picks in after a few others have already done so).

EDIT: Due to some confusion, I am putting the idea of the list right up here:

1. The Dark Knight
2. Midnight in Paris
3. The Social Network
4. Inglourious Basterds
5. Birdman
6. Black Swan
7. Inception
8. Silver Linings Playbook
9. La La Land
10. Whiplash

(ahem, more than a few honorable mentions: Room, Boyhood, Sweeney Todd, There Will Be Blood, Frozen, Interstellar, Kick-Ass, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, The Witch, Zodiac, 12 Years a Slave, Brooklyn, American Hustle, Ex Machina, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Tropic Thunder, The Descendants, Drive, and In Bruges).

I was writing out a list and realized this is just too hard. There are so many good films over the last 10 years and some of these years had multiple films I love. To make a list of just 10, I cant haha.

 

[Lasirius]

I'm going to take a couple of days to think about this
