Ten Best Films of the Decade (2010-2019)


The 2010's were a great decade for me personally; I created this website and gained 100,000+ viewers, I graduated University, I got married, I published a book, I checked Toronto Film Festival and West Edmonton Mall off my bucketlist. I became a cat-person and am the proud father of two adorable kitties. 

While the first half of the 2010's were a slog when it comes to "great" films, I feel the second half (2016 onward) produced quite a notable number of masterpieces. Even the superhero genre, which I hated at the begining of the decade, won me over as I have re-watched Avengers: Endgame (2019) many times. This sounds really weird to say, but, I think I like the MCU more than I do Scorsese movies. 

1. Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019, Celine Sciamma) 

2. A Hidden Life (2019, Terrence Malick) 

 3. The Favourite (2018, Yorgos Lanthimos)

4. Roma (2018, Alfonso Cauron)


5.Death of Stalin (2017, Armando Ianucci) 


6. Moonlight (2016, Barry Jenkins) 


7. Son of Saul (2015 Laszlo Nemes) 


8. 12 Years a Slave (2013, Steve McQueen)

9. The Great Beauty (2013, Paolo Sorrentino) 

10. Certified Copy (2010, Abbas Kiarostami)
