30 greatest movies of the 2010's

by AlexanderRohdeJ | created - 24 Feb 2020 | updated - 1 month ago | Public

My top 30 of movies that have come out in the last 10 years. 2010-2019. Not necessarily in this order. I have a hard time putting them in order, so it could easily change. But it's definitely these films. You may be a bit shocked at some of the films, i've put on here. But obviously it's subjective, i've been a film fan since I was a kid, and these are just the movies that have touched me the most and stayed with me the last 10 years. No hard feelings towards the movies not on the list that were amazing, it's just my personal opinion. Hope you enjoy the list. Feel free to comment your opinion of the movies, or tell me your list of the last decade. :)

One of my favorite movies of all time, it literally BLEW me away in the theatre. I've seen it over 10 times on blu ray, after it came out. It just touched me in a way, I seek to be touched by movies. Im kinda sad about the reception it got. But it's okay, that's how it is with movies. The movie is just so personal to me, and represents the exact things I love, and have loved since I was a kid. It's definitely Tarantino's most personal film, and I feel that! AMAZING MOVIE. Could talk about it for days. PS: THIS IS LEONARDO'S BEST PERFORMANCE EVER!

Another masterpiece by LEO/SCORSESE. An indulgence in sex, greed, money and drugs. Such an amazing ride of a film. You get sucked right into the story and that universe Scorsese creates so masterfully. You can't help but kinda root for these guys, because their personalities are so intriguing and wild and dangerous. You know it's WRONG, but it feels ever so right. Love this movie!

Director: Bennett Miller | Stars: Brad Pitt, Robin Wright, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman

Votes: 467,125 | Gross: $75.61M

Probably the most underrated movie of the 2010's in my opinion, and Pitt's most underrated performance perhaps. Although he did get a lot of recognition for it. I DON'T feel that he got enough. The movie is a masterpiece first of all, and everyone in the film is just amazing, it's such a sharp film, not a frame could be spared, and not a line could be cut. One of the most perfect movies ever. I dont know much about baseball, even though im interested in the sport, and I love baseball movies. But this movie makes me forget that I dont know much about it, it sucks me right in, and I feel like im right there with the characters going through the ups and downs. I'm there trading players with Brad, i'm there analysing statistics with Jonah. And i'm there going through a crisis with an injury but experiencing a joyous moment of (a second chance) and a beautiful comeback with Chris Pratt. MAN I LOVE THIS MOVIE.

Votes: 809,023 | Gross: $61.00M

Dark gritty crime film, by the amazing denis villeneuve, holy crap this movie is amazing. best crime movie since se7en for sure. Zodiac is up there also. The performances are just gripping, to me Hugh Jackman steals the movie with his desperate frustrated performance as a father whose daughter has been kidnapped. He should have gotten an oscar for his performance in this film for sure. Usually Gyllenhaal steals the movie for me, but this is Hugh's film for sure. Amazing ending as well.

5. The Social Network (2010)

PG-13 | 120 min | Biography, Drama

95 Metascore

Votes: 549,922 | Gross: $85.82M

Once again, an amazingly underrated performance by Brad Pitt and an underrated film. Such an amazing war film, that depicts the harshness of war, not done this well since Saving private Ryan in my opinion. The last 40 minutes of the movie with the guys in the tank, is some of the most beautiful and gripping cinema ever made. It gave me the feeling of the last hour in Jaws, when they sail out into the sea, and it's just those 3 guys. The bond between the men, and their performances are so freaking good. Loved it!

8. Interstellar (2014)

PG-13 | 169 min | Adventure, Drama, Sci-Fi

Votes: 1,208,916 | Gross: $678.82M

Yes, of course Avengers Infinity war has to been on here. What an achievement this is. Definitely one of the greatest comic book movies ever put on film. To me better than endgame, even though I love that as well. This movie is just perfect in every way, and the ending is perfect. Don't want to spoil it, even though everyone on the planet has seen it. But I was just so speechless when I saw the films, and all the times i've watched it since. Amazing film making.

Another Tarantino masterpiece for sure. What a ride. Awesome throwback to the old spaghetti westerns, that Tarantino loves so much. Just an epic film, in the literal sense. The scope of the film, is Tarantino's biggest for sure. And it delivers all the way throughout the film. Also another AMAZING performance by LEO. And for that matter Christoph Waltz.

Votes: 488,759 | Gross: $137.69M

Ready player one, is sooo good. I love Spielberg of course, and this movie is classic Spielberg magic. I know some people didn't care for it that much, but I just loved it. It's fun from beginning to end. It's sad it's heartfelt, and has a great message in the end. It has TONS of references to pop culture, and amazing movies I LOVE. I can't put a finger on anything.

87 Metascore

Director: Ari Aster | Stars: Toni Collette, Milly Shapiro, Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff

Votes: 379,552 | Gross: $44.07M

One of the scariest movies i've ever seen, in terms of pure dread from beginning to end. It's just so disturbing. Never seen a horror film like it. Some people apparently find some of the horror moments comical, I couldn't disagree less. I found the movie frightening. And beautifully crafted. The cinematography and production design of the film, was groundbreaking. Such an underrated film. Ari aster is just a genius, can't wait to see his future projects. I loved midsommar as well, but not quite as much.

14. Shutter Island (2010)

63 Metascore

Director: Martin Scorsese | Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Emily Mortimer, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley

Votes: 1,463,503 | Gross: $128.01M

Another classic by Scorsese, a throwback to old B-movies in a way. And what a great salute it is. Mixed with a compelling mystery, and great actors. What's not to like. The ending is also just a classic ending, up there with the very best of all time. The could only have been made by Scorsese, it's such a tightly constructed film, that is made by man that lives and breathes CINEMA.

15. The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014)

PG | 122 min | Comedy, Drama

55 Metascore

Votes: 88,161 | Gross: $54.24M

Little underrated pearl of a film. I have a weak spot in my heart for Lasse hallström movies. The movie is just magical, and the story about the Indian family is so beautiful. It's a perfect (feel good movie) in my opinion. And the food in the movie looks AMAZING. LOVED IT!

16. Chef (2014)

Votes: 233,072 | Gross: $31.42M

Another highly underrated movie, that I think is just a masterpiece. Has to be on my list. The movie has that feel good vibe I just love in movies. Jon Favreau is a very underrated guy, in my opinion. The bond between the father and son, and how the food brings them together is just touching. You see the guy struggle with bad reviews and so forth, but in the end he realises it doesn't matter, he had all we will ever need right in front of him. He didn't need the fancy restaurant, a food truck was enough to show him the values of life. Life affirming film for sure.

One of the most underrated movies, of all time. The movie makes me smile every time, it also makes me sad. Again just packed with emotions. People probably see it as a silly comedy, because of its facade. But I disagree so much. One of the more deeper films, i've ever seen. Go back and see the film, and just look at the characters and what they go through. Man, this movie is a masterpiece. And the 3 leads, all did an amazing job in the film. I was speechless the first time I saw it, and has been all the time i've seen it sense. If you haven't seen the film, I strongly urge you to pick it up immediately. Never has birding been this exciting.
