BEST-OF-THE-DECADE TOP TEN LISTS

(AKA FILMS THAT CRITICS STILL LOVE NOW)

This section will be updated as new lists are published throughout the end of the year.

Last update: November 29

While the list above reflects how critics felt about each movie at the time of its release, opinions can change over time. So, to get a better read on the current consensus, we have also aggregated best-of-the-decade lists published by a variety of film and entertainment publications in late 2019. Individual lists are displayed at the bottom of the page, but in the table below, the most frequently mentioned titles are ranked according to our points system (which gives bonus points for being ranked at the top of a list):

3 points for each 1st place ranking
2 points for each 2nd place ranking
1 point for being ranked 3rd - 10th, or for being included on an unranked list of 10 or fewer titles
0.5 points for being included on an unranked list of 11-20 titles
No points for films included on unranked lists of more than 20 titles (or for films ranked worse than 20th)

No Blade Runner 2049? That's comfortably my favourite film of the decade.

I will genuinely disregard any list that doesn't place Amour somewhere on it.

7.9 out of 10 on IMDb. Sounds like it might just scrape into the top 100 of the decade.

I don't think I've looked at IMDB rankings in about 6 years. This is going to be fun looking through it.

I put Amour in the same bracket as films by Tarkovsky. I really have to be in the mood to watch it, and it is no easy watch, but I just cannot deny the power and skill of it. It's tasteful, brutal and an absolute masterclass of filmmaking.

Joker is the 19th greatest film of all time. strawberry float me.

It's no social network.

Man, wish I didn't fall down this rabbit hole of lists now. They're pretty much all garbage. But! Not for the obvious response of 'oh gee how could they overlook this, my personal favourite which I think is a masterpiece blahblahblah'.

Nah, all of these lists remove a sense of context for the author's taste, and more annoyingly for me frame them as an 'overall' list, when they're enormously favoured towards English language releases. If anything has become clear in the past two decades, it's that the sheer amount of films that get produced is impossible to keep on top of, and their are multitudes of wonderful films that have been produced that many people (even in critical positions) will never see. From distribution issues to ease of accessibility, there are thousands of wonderful films that never quite get the recognition they deserve, and it's effective marketing that pushes particular films to the top. I actually like the Social Network; has a great pedigree, is an accomplished film in its own right, but how much of its memorability is built off the back that it's about a person and property that is in wide daily use (and that aforementioned pedigree)? How many people think it's Fincher's or Sorkin's best?

I'd much rather see an honest approach where writers note how their viewing habits are shaped and from there write a personal list that caries far more value. Instead we get these homogenised lists where the same things turn up but no one has a thing of interest to say about them, of how it affected them. For comparison, I'd likely write up my list with the caveat of them being films I watched in the cinema, and I'd hazard that few if any people on here have seen any of my favourite films of the past two years. Not in a way where I wish to position myself as superior, but just that I trend towards smaller releases these days, often on the festival circuit (and even then that's a whole issue of just how much 'smaller' those films are, as they ordinarily still have some money and prestige behind them to get onto the bigger festivals).

I didn't overly enjoy Moonlight and really disliked Ladybird. The Florida Project was better than both.

It took a decade to make.

I haven't seen it but wasn't it a huge critical darling the time?

Yeah like the only interesting thing about it was the "it's the same actors filmed over a ten year period" thing. Saying "it took a decade to make" kind of implies that everyone working on it did nothing but work on Boyhood, which they didn't.

A gimmicky production doesn't stop it from being utterly dull.

I've not seen it, but Boyhood looks almost as bad as Into the Wild.

strawberry floating hell, the state of that list. :dread:

I thought the TV one was bad but this makes that look like a solid selection! :lol:

Captain Marvel - 7/10

On one hand I quite enjoyed this but on the other it certainly isn't one of the better MCU films, I don't particularly know much about the more intergalactic scale Marvel stuff but I think it works quite well once you get your head around the fact its more science fantasy than science fiction.

The 90's setting was great albeit a little underused but it was interesting to see S.H.I.E.L.D in its pre Avengers days(and to find out how Fury lost his eye to an alien cat).

Never realised how ridiculously overpowered the character was, I though Jean Grey/Phoenix was OP but she just obliterates everything in her path too.

Also, Brie Larson :wub:

I really liked Boyhood and have watched it multiple times :shifty:
