Since we're approaching the end of the decade, I was wondering what everyone's favourite films of the last ten years would be. Here are mine, in no particular order:
@LN78 I've seen all of those, except Blade Runner 2049, which I've not got around to yet for some reason, despite being a sci-fi fan. They're all good shouts, I did consider putting Arrival down myself
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@LN78@Gremio108 I'll add the following, Mad Max FR would absoulety be in there too:
Logan
Ex Machina
Nightcrawler
Gone Girl
Prisoners
Sicario
Deadpool
What We Do in the Shadows
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
2010 - How to Train Your Dragon
2011 - The Artist
2012 - The Cabin in the Woods
2013 - Her
2014 - The Babadook (along with Nightcrawler)
2015 - Bridge of Spies (kudos to Mad Max: Fury Road, too)
2016 - Kimi no Na wa (and Arrival)
2017 - Blade Runner 2049
2018 - They Shall Not Grow Old (and Hereditary)
2019 - The Lighthouse (along with Dark Waters)
Honorable mentions: Sicario, Midsommar, Kubo and the Two Strings, and Shin Godzilla
@LN78 Ex Machina has had a couple of mentions, that's another film I think I'd enjoy.
@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, I forgot about Logan, that's going on my list. What We Do In The Shadows was awesome as well.
@Ralizah How To Train Your Dragon is a good shout. Toy Story 3 from 2010 for me as well. The Cabin In The Woods would definitely make my top 20, if not higher.
@RogerRoger (to be read in a Russian accent) "Meet me at the station at midday, Mr Smiley. And bring the marmalade"
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@Ralizah I thought about Cabin in the Woods, but i incorrectly thought it was last decade. Good shout for Kubo and the Two Strings, I was trying to think of an animated film and that would definitely be in my list. I enjoyed Isle of Dogs too, but preferred Kubo ever so slightly.

I'll follow Ralizah's example and put two per year as I'd probably just list half the films I've seen otherwise (As my honourable mentions basically turns into)... Not many I haven't honestly liked 😅
2010 - Inception & Toy Story 3
2011 - Rise of the Planet of the Apes & The Muppets
2012 - Dredd & Cabin In the Woods
2013 - Dallas Buyers Club & Prisoners (Didn't see much this year)
2014 - Paddington & Edge Of Tomorrow
2015 - The Martian & Inside Out (This remind anyone else of that Beano strip that had the people controlling the senses in the kid's head?)
2016 - Green Room & Arrival
2017 - War For The Planet Of The Apes & It (I didn't see much this year either)
2018 - A Quiet Place & Mission Impossible: Fallout (Not much I watched here either)
2019 - N/A. Haven't seen anything this year at the pictures
Shout outs go to: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Wreck it Ralph, John Wick, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Mad Max: Fury Road, Spotlight, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, The Revenant, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Macbeth & Captain America: Civil War
My Films of the Decade:
2010: Scott Pilgrim Vs The World/Mother
2011: Drive/Moneyball
2012: Django Unchained/The Master
2013: Her/Prisoners
2014: Birdman/Nightcrawler
2015: The Revenant
2016: Nocturnal Animals/Silence
2017: Good Time/Blade Runner 2049
2018: The Favourite/Hereditary
2019: Parasite/Marriage Story
It was bound to happen, but looks like I missed a bunch of films I rate highly. So the list that I posted is not a definite one of films i think are the very best from this decade, just ones I could remember at the time/have in my blu ray collection.

@Gremio108 The Lego Movie is awesome (like the song). A rare film that had me smiling throughout. On my list it was a toss up between that and Coco, where for half the runtime I was on the verge of tears. 😂
I admittedly did forget about it @Gremio108 ... It's only because I looked at the wikipedia's years of film that I did go "Oh yeah that one with Patrick Stewart as a skinhead... how'd I forget that?" 😂
As I said to Gremio I looked on wikipedia to make sure of some of the films dates and remembered some I'd forgotten @Ralizah but I think Arrival is my favourite of the decade.
The main story just really resonated with me with a lovely score and some nice design and filmography as well. A great lead performance from Amy Adams too of course!
My top 10: Joaquin Phoenix, Adam Driver, Robert Pattinson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jake Gyllenhaal, Christian Bale, Timothée Chalamet, Joe Pesci, Daniel Day Lewis, Meryl Streep.
@DonJorginho There's more than ten but I like Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood, Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, Al Pacino, Sean Connery, Charlize Theron, Harrison Ford, Liam Neeson, Jeff Bridges...
