Why is the 2010s going to be the worst decade in film history it was invented? Only 2000 was nearly as bad.
Think about good movies from the 90s, 80s or 70s, you can name a shitton.
But good movies from this decade? Mmm... Maybe the Revenant? It wasn't really thaat good, anyways. 12 Years a Slave was good but Sup Forums can't accept it. The rest are pretty unremarkable.

You probably liked Transformers, faggot

Because people don't actually experience anything anymore. Thirty, fourty years ago you had existential struggle, you had forbidden love, there was a society telling you how to behave, average people went to war. When people back then remembered their youth, they thought of all their life-altering experiences. When people today remember their youth, they think of the movies they watched. So instead of referencing the real world in movies, they reference other movies. Film itself as an art will slowly die, because it becomes more and more difficult to relate to the viewers as they don't do anything interesting themselves.
Alexander Long
Because back then the formula hadn't beed perfected
Jackson Edwards
social network and grand budapest hotel only worth mentioning there
Brody Wilson
If you have pleb taste maybe... like your pic.
I could name 20-30 masterpieces. 2000s were good.
Nolan Allen
But all those things still happen. Not in Western society, but they happen somewhere else in the world.
Robert Peterson
Name them bitch. Probably 70% of them are foreign films anyway
Owen Bailey
This. Looking to bring to life an Australian Neorealism movement over the next three years. We're going to bring cinema back.
Owen Rivera
You really wanna hear em? It's obviously a personal taste. I don't even watch foreign language films.
Blake Green
the 2000s were worse. the fallout of 9/11 and then the Iraq war was like a big dump all over american culture
Josiah Myers
I meant to say I dont watch foreign language films often.

Its the best decade for cartoons so far. Animated children's films are better than they ever have been, it is no longer seen as just "for kids" they actually have decent plots, good actors and whatever else, multibillion dollar industry
Austin Rivera

I'm certainly not going to say the 10s have been the best decade for movies ever, but there have been some great films made in it. I've given 20 a 9/10 or higher.
Jayden Sanchez
At least we got one kino, There Will Be Blood.

Josiah Peterson
>Think about good movies from the 90s, 80s or 70s, you can name a shitton. People tend to forget all the really bad movies of the past and only remember the good ones. Meanwhile, contemporary bad movies are easy to remember because they're fresh in our minds.
If you ever want to try something, pick a year in the past (like 1985) and look at the wikipedia page for every (not really every, but pretty much) movie released for that year. Sure, you'll immediately spot some good memorable ones, but they'll be in a sea of names you don't recognize because those movies fucking sucked and were either not memorable or were so bad people actively forgot about them.
It's fine to be nostalgic. Just don't be ignorant.
Nathaniel Smith
Some user recently pointed out that:
>no notable new IPs, actors, musicians, films, series, books, games, etc came out in the 10s
Elijah Allen
Social Network and Whiplash were based as fuck
Xavier Sullivan
Take Shelter, The Master and Oslo, August 31st are three of my favourite films. Pretty sure there are others too from this decade but those are the three that immediately spring to mind
Grayson Cruz
>Drive >Nightcrawler >Grand Budapest Hotel >Whiplash >Interstellar?
I think these will be looked back upon fondly
Samuel Torres
tru dat
Gavin Carter
Moonrise Kingdom is one of my favorite movies but I can't admit that because it would make me sound like a pedo, maybe I am being stupid about that. I still recommend it to people though.
Its really weird, like we all just turned our brains off during Obama. We all wanted to watch the same things we knew, then there were some nice indie for film fans. Hollywood TRIED to make original IP for us but moviegoers decided they didn't need any sadly. After the 20th bomb it became more on us than them imho.
Yeah, I don't think the average person is Sup Forums, that is basically Gen Z's 2001: A Space Odyssey a normie masterpiece for all time.
Aaron Nelson
Look, I know you were born in the 90s and think that everything "old" is better than anything "new" but the reality is that it takes time to appreciate a decade and what made it special. You think people considered all those fucking action movies from the 80s good back when they were released? Hell no, I can assure you that critics wept for the downfall of cinema back then like they do about capes now.
It's 100% guaranteed that you and everyone else, including kids that aren't even born yet will look back on the 00s and 10s fondly and curse the current decade they're in. You weren't born in the wrong decade, get over it, kys, the end.
Austin Cruz
Bait
Jace Wilson
Not to mention a writer's strike that jimmy-jams production for years.

Don't forget Zodiac and NCFOM.

You need to go back
Jonathan Flores
Nightcrawler
That's it, everything else has been shit so far
Ryder Rodriguez
moviegoers are, right next to vidya, on the bottom of the rung in terms of understanding canonization
Matthew Parker
Best list so far but not everything is essential there. Silence was the last movie I didn't regret seeing.
Adrian Rivera
>"Part II's dialogue often sounds like cartoon captions... its insights are fairly lame" >Vincent Canby, New York Times on the Godfather II
>"A very dark and far too long thriller with many dull moments that would serve the film better by moving along a bit faster." >Chris Hicks, Deseret News on Blade Runner
>"Inappropriate and wrongheaded interruptions reveal the fragile nature of the plot and prevent it from working...a mess" >Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times on Die Hard
>"The screenplay of Rocky is purest Hollywood make-believe of the 1930's, but there would be nothing wrong with that, had the film been executed with any verve." >Vincent Calby, New York Times on Rocky
>"Dramatically unsatisfying" >Joseph McBride, Variety on Goodfellas
>"It's astonishing that so much money, talent, technical expertise and visual imagination can be put in the service of something so stupid" >Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle on the Matrix
>"Pretentious, abysmally slow, amateurishly acted and, above all, wrong" >Stephen Hunter, Washington Post on 2001: A space oddyssey
>"The Empire Strikes Back is about as personal as a Christmas card from a bank" >Vincent Canby, The New York Times on the Empire Strikes Back
>"It is a coarse-grained and exploitative work which depends on excess for its impact. Ashore it is a bore, awkwardly staged and lumpily written" >Charles Champlin, Los Angeles Times on JAWS
People have totally always known exactly what movies will stand the test of time.
Blake Brooks
America has become a culture bloated and fat from eating its own shit for so long it can no longer distinguish between a steaming turd and culture worth consuming. Only the looming financial crash can change this. See you on the breadlines comrade..
Liam Reed
I don't watch new movies anymore. 80s or older only for me. Some 90s flicks are still okay but that time was already the beginning of when everything went to shit.
Music videos, globalism, political correctness, PG13 and CGI killed cinema dead and it's not coming back any time soon. It's gone. You either get pretentious low budget indie shit or mind-numbingly retarded and bland AAA blockbuster vomit.
Parker Martinez
can I watch river dale somewhere online? don't have netflix

Yup and edgy too
Anthony Barnes
Let's build a wall, around Hollywood, and make the jews pay for it.

I assume everyone that says the 2000s was the worst decade in film is an angsty teenager. Prove me wrong.

It really was. (I'm creeping up on 40.)

I'd almost go so far to say life changing, but I haven't changed anything yet... Still astounding. Left me a wreck.
Caleb Ward
>Moonrise Kingdom Haha, I would think it's because there is a vocal segment of the population here who decries Wes Anderson as "reddit," whatever that means.
Alexander Mitchell
Were there any movies in the 00s that weren't universally beloved but now have gained affection from the masses?
Grayson Rivera
ITT: contrarian faggots blind to the fact we are currently living a golden age of film and television right before the downfall to a chinese shitfest
good luck holding your breath to see if the chinese can do it better

All of those movies besides Boyhood are a solid 8/10 at least.

I don't even lile Refn but OGF was alright. I don't even like Coppola but TBR was kino.
Joshua Johnson
This is actually a great rec list. 9/10
Carson Fisher
