During this hectic season of self-congratulation and praise, I'd like everyone to post their top films of the decade so far. Rate, recommend and discuss:
>Amour (Michael Haneke, 2012) >Anomalisa (Duke Johnson and Charlie Kaufman, 2015) >The Assassin “刺客聶隱娘” (Hou Hsiao-Hsien, 2015) >Bless Me, Ultima (Carl Franklin, 2013) >Boyhood (Richard Linklater, 2014) >The Florida Project (Sean Baker, 2017) >Foxcatcher (Bennett Miller, 2014) >A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (Ana Lily Amirpour, 2014) >Holy Motors (Leos Carax, 2012) >Horse Money “Cavalo Dinheiro” (Pedro Costa, 2014) >Ida (Pawel Pawlikowski,m 2014) >The Immigrant (James Gray, 2013) >It Follows (David Robert Mitchell, 2014) >Inherent Vice (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2014) >Mad Max: Fury Road (George Miller, 2015) >Nebraska (Alexander Payne, 2013) >Never Let Me Go (Mark Romanek, 2010) >Personal Shopper (Olivier Assayas, 2016) >The Social Network (David Fincher, 2010) >The Tree of Life (Terrence Malick, 2011) >The Tribe “Плeм'я” (Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy, 2014) >Tyrannosaur (Paddy Considine, 2011) >Under the Skin (Jonathan Glazer, 2014) >Wiener-Dog (Todd Solondz, 2016) >The Wind Rises “風立ちぬ” (Hayao Miyazaki, 2013)
>L'Ascension de Chevalier Noir (2011) actually googled it
Robert Wright
idk man, uncle boonmee was cool i guess, and malick's made some good shit of late. other than that, not much.
Julian Ward
>Soyhood
Mason Davis
Boyhood and Anomalisa are shit and Fury Road is the most overrated movie this decade. Good list, otherwise.
Isaac Brooks
>Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition (Zack Snyder, 2016)
Landon Baker
I can agree with a few of these but Boyhood was trash, its only saving grace being my boy Ethan Hawke.
Levi Murphy
Leviathan and Loveless?
Elijah James
worst decade in film history so far. is there any other that even comes close?
Mason Adams
Haven't seen either yet. Leviathan's been on my list since it came out.
Jackson Campbell
Agreed on the Immigrant and nothing else. I like the Wind Rises and Personal Shopper, and I haven't seen the Assassin yet. Rest of your list is trendy middlebrow bullshit. At least you don't have Blue is the Warmest Color on there.
Brandon Johnson
aurora, upstream color, post tenebras lux, knight of cups, cosmos
Justin Foster
>boyhood took 12 years to make
Mason Russell
oh and hard to be a god
Matthew Butler
watch this man seriously i prefer it even to leviathan and i love that film
Wyatt Bell
>The Social Network (David Fincher, 2010) The only good one of your list.
Inception
Jason Sanchez
> the tribe
Good shit my man.
Matthew Allen
You're missing this decade's Mel Gibson kino. Hacksaw Ridge is better than half the films on your list.
Samuel Miller
sorry for samefagging but this is honestly my favourite film of the decade, although favourite is probably not the right word for a film like that i would recomend it to anyone
Ian Taylor
based
also melancholia voyage of time
Jose Cooper
Man I forgot about Hard to Be a God, and Miele too. I could revise my list endlessly but I stick by my choices. They're all great in different ways.
I will be checking this out, thanks.
Ethan Barnes
where to watch at least 1080? also same question for leviathan
Logan Anderson
Awful bait
Elijah Brown
torrented them both at 720p, sorry
Liam Sanchez
Bait you into what? Talking about the recent movies you liked? Instead of making the same jokes and insults that have been recycled here for the last decade? Instead of complaining and posting disgusting, derogatory shit because you're a small, weak person with no voice or passion about anything? Get the fuck out of my thread you purposeless fucking shit. Reported.
Anthony Kelly
get a load of this faggot lmao
Asher Thomas
I have yet to see a genuine criticism of this movie apart from "12 Years to make lol" and "it's boring lol"
Julian Nguyen
because they haven't actually watched it
Jaxson Martin
That was my experience. I had dismissed the film after seeing the press junkets and assuming that the twelve years BS was a gimmick, and many years later, actually sat down and watched it to be completely proven wrong. I wish more people had at least given it a chance.
Bentley Thomas
A Seperation Like Someone In Love Blade Runner 2049 Call Me By Your Name Silence The Lobster Inside Llewyn Davis The Act of Killing Mr Turner The Tree of Life
Grayson Lee
I've never seen it, what's so good about it?
Logan Davis
>Blade Runner 2049 >Call Me By Your Name yikes
Levi Ortiz
The "12 years to make lol" is valid criticism since it's a gimmick, it's the only reason people even know this this movie exists and it's the only thing the movie has going for it. Seeing the characters grow is neat but i could just watch one of those videos where they take one picture a day for 12 years if i wanted that.
Caleb Harris
>no sicario
David Ross
i see r/movies has made an appearance
Bentley Ortiz
It leans heavily on 90s nostalgia bullshit to pander to wrong generation fags >dude, member Game Boy? >dude, member Dragonball? >dude, mobile phones are killing society now
Jace Lewis
Does a great job of capturing growing up
Michael Ward
So did my life, it's hardly worth seeing a movie for it.
Anthony Sanchez
>The "12 years to make lol" is valid criticism since it's a gimmick It's not a gimmick, it's a trait external to the film itself. Only imbeciles keep calling it le gimmick. >it's the only reason people even know this this movie exists and it's the only thing the movie has going for it Except that none of that is true, tard.
Pity that Linklater got awards and mainstream attention in a way, it always attracts the dumb plebs.
>panders to wrong generation fags That is just your mind on memes. You see that on the screen and project whatever about other people who watched the film and then get upset about it.
Hudson Campbell
>movie showing a kid growing up in the 90s shows actual 90s shows and games in like 2 scenes >NOSTALGIA IT'S ALL NOSTALGIA the things you're mentioning are like a minute of screentime put together
>dude, mobile phones are killing society now okay what movie did you watch?
Jordan Myers
If you don't care for coming of age stories then why the fuck would you watch boyhood?
Connor Evans
where is blade runner, baby driver and logan bro?
Eli Bell
I do like coming of age stories with a good concept surrounding it, but if all the movie has is "Well it shows growing up really well" then it's a bit to shallow for me to care.
Adam Green
You're delusional, it literally is the whole selling point of the movie.
Luke Jenkins
>It's not a gimmick Meanwhile the cover seems to be oddly focused on it.
Jose Anderson
A movie that started shooting in 2002 pandered to 90s nostalgia by featuring pop culture that was current at the time?
Jayden Hall
cmbyn is a yes not a yikes
Hunter Thomas
Yeah, not enough anime gimmicks for you I guess. Maybe if he switched bodies with a little girl...
Kayden Jackson
Publicity is not part of the text-film. A hard concept to swallow in this age but still true.
Evan James
>supposed to be realistic >crazier than any fantasy movie
Michael Cook
Nice deflection. It's almost like you can't think of anything the movie does well beyond "12 years lmao" which isn't even a feature of the movie itself but an inescapable fact of it's production.
Nolan Myers
Doesn't mean what i said is wrong, nobody would give a shit about it without the "12 years to make !1!!"
Colton Parker
It has zero artistic merit outside of the fact that it was filmed in 12 years, outside of it the actual drama and storytelling is that of a lifetime special
Jordan Wilson
Yeah using it for publicity is what makes it a gimmick.
Colton Edwards
Boy puberty really wrecked that kid. Just goes to show being cute is absolutely useless in predicting how you will look as an adult.
Oliver Lee
I haven't seen it because i never had any interest in it but I always wondered was there any point to the 12 year gimmick? Like would the movie be completely different if instead of using the same actors they just did very good casting? Does the fact that the actors are the same add any inherent value to the film?
Logan Turner
No, it was part sales tactic, and part wanting to go down in history.
Isaiah Russell
It's much more believable to have a kid age 12 years through his life you are telling a coming of age story. The one thing filming in 12 years does that normal coming of age stories doesn't is you don't have to keep replacing actors or using makeup or expecting the audeience to believe a 16 year old kid goes from 12 to 20 throughout the film.
Benjamin Young
People who are into cinema would obviously care about it being a film from Linklater.
>It has zero artistic merit outside of the fact that it was filmed in 12 years Such a stupid point there's no need to say anything. It's like you people really don't watch films simply shitpost about them. And by itself a film taking 12 years is not any special artistic merit.
Sure, play on that line if you wish. Still outside the film itself.
Not really. But it makes for a better story culturally considering it not the film alone, but the process.
Jack Cox
No The Hunt? The Great Beauty? Leviathan? Drive? Manchester by the Sea? The Witch? The Embrace of the Serpent? Oslo, August 31st? Blade Runner 2049?
Liam Rogers
Gone Girl The Drop Sicario Ex Machina The Social Network Moneyball Prisoners The Town 13 Hours Foxcatcher
Lucas Baker
Isn't the process 'outside the film itself' too though? Isn't the process of it being filmed in 12 years much more talked about than the film? Just admit it was a gimmick and that you like it either way, there's no shame in that.
Justin James

Name some films that are masterpieces. TLJ, I fear.
Isaiah Baker
Any 2010s list without Moonrise Kingdom is objectively worthless inb4 Reddit
Connor Lewis
Certainly must be on the top 15. And Budapest on the top 50. Only plebeians don't recognize the greatness of Anderson.
Dylan Taylor

Joshua Phillips
Knight of cups & Voyage of time Post tenebras lux Adieu au langage Macbeth Columbus
Jonathan Phillips
It's objectively a shitty movie. Hollywood idea of what growing up in America is like Massively misses the mark and its made even worse by the fact that everyone had been waiting over a decade to see it.
Jordan Allen
Only haven't seen Columbus yet. The other five are all fantastic and innovative stuff. Seeing it wasn't a shitty list, odd that you would go on to disparage those films.

Gabriel Fisher
nope because I'm going to start making movies in the second half of that and they'll be kino. we're due for a phoenix style conflagration and rebirth and i'll be in the vanguard
Bentley Allen
You can't make kino by intending to make kino, there is an inherent soul and purity to it that can't be manufactured.
Sebastian Sanchez
Great taste except somehow I hadn’t heard of Aurora
Caleb Johnson
no shit. i got poetry in me buddy. wait and see
Grayson Walker
Off the top of my head >Drive >Mad Max: Fury Road >The VVitch >Whiplash >Interstellar >Inception >Wolf of Wall Street Kek, you got me
Jackson Perry
You are a retard. Boyhood is a document of the span of time it cover, most of the 2000's as we know it.
>DUDE REMEMBER HARRY POTTER yeah i do that made sense to include
Holy shit that actually looks really good user, im watching that tonight.
Jackson Brooks
It being boring is a valid criticism. Filming a boy growing up over the course of 12 years is an incredible filmmaking opportunity to make all sorts of statements on life, Linklater did about as little with it as possible from a narrative, thematic and visual standpoint. People like the idea of the film.
Levi Morris
Not to mention the kid grew up to be a god awful actor.
Noah Adams
>second half of that That's like 7 years away, why wait that long?
Jordan Lee
>Only one person has mentioned Whiplash
Can anyone mention a better ending than that kino?
Lincoln Jackson
I get the feeling Linklater doesn't know what the fuck he's doing and just lucked into early success
