The MoFo Top 100 of the 2010s Countdown

I like A Separation for 90 and Bad Education for 89.

If you don't hear from me again it means I couldn't think of anything better - but I'm trying...

90. I'll go with A Separation again
89. Hidden Figures

I don't come online for one day, and I have to catch up with 12 pages

Haven't watched It follows & Anomolisa

I have no Superhero movies on my list. They were all late cuts, but Civil War is one of my absolute favourites.

At a time when superhero movies showed them mindlessly ravaging through cities while fighting with their enemies, this movie addressed the consequences of their actions, which I thought was interesting.

It had a villain with no powers & his takedown of the group is believable.
Lastly, despite attempting to be a thoughtful film it managed to sneak in an elaborate fight sequence that was absolute fun.
It isn't perfect, but Civil War is one the finest movies from Marvel.


The VVitch was my 18.
The last decade was a good decade for horror and you could name several movies (and series) that reformed the genre and made them more than just jump-scares stories.
The VVitch was one of them. It's so unsettling, creepy and atmospheric, and does a great job in taking us back to those times. It's one of the best folk horror movies I have watched.

I am not a paintings man, but I discovered Joseph Tomanek's painting which reminds me of a scene from the movie, and I absolutely love that painting now.

Okay, a little late for the past four but here goes:

Captain America: Civil War This one and Winter Soldier are my two favorites out of all the MCU movies. The tension between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers is very moving; the funny geeking out from Scott Lang (Ant-Man) and Peter Parker (Spider-Man) at all the super-heroes; the revelation of the truth about Tony's parents death; the wounding of Rhoades; the unexpected villain of the whole piece and his justification for turning the Avengers against each other; Stan Lee's cameo as the FedEx driver and his line: "Are you Tony Stank?" and Rhoadie's bemused reaction to that. Plus the action, there's that also. So much to love about this one. Didn't vote it for despite considering it.

It Follows I really loved this horror movie with a different slant than most in the genre. Not knowing who the entity is going to appear as and sometimes having a very short time to get away. The audience seeing the person carrying the entity approaching in the distance before our leading lady Jay (a terrific Maika Monroe) does is truly nerve-wracking. Really dug this movie and the tension it brought. Didn't vote for it.

Anomalisa I'd heard of this in passing but really didn't realize it was a stop-motion movie until its entry here on the list. I'm a stop-motion fan so I'll most likely get around to seeing this one. No vote.

The Witch Saw this and thought it was outstanding and original, which is something you just don't get in this day and age from Hollywood. Although I had seen her in another film before this one, Anya Taylor-Joy's performance here proved right out of the gate that she was a talent to watch. I've tried to see everything she's done and am still catching up. The movie itself didn't scare me but does what I think horror should do and that's unsettle you. It really unsettled me, making me jumpy and there were a few moments that made me sick and a few that horrified me The acting from the rest of the cast, particularly the second-oldest child played by Harvey Scrimshaw, especially when he is brought back from the woods and is phenomenal in his last scene. Man, the only other horror film that unsettled me like this was The Exorcist and like that movie, I will not watch this one again. Although it did its job, I don't like being rattled in this way. Still, an excellent film. Didn't get my vote although I thought about it.

90. Zootopia
89. Bad Teacher

Zootopia is a nice guess

Oh, so it's like Silence Of The Lambs then?

Careful HL, it's starting to sound like you're heading to the HK path. Which I'm fine with, I'd appreciate the company, but it's probably not something you'd want to do.

I've translated for those who don't speak Minio.

You can't get any time back, regardless of whether you enjoyed it or not. I know that's not really what you meant, it's just a pet peeve of mine as a criticism. A bit like someone sayiing, I can't believe this still happens/we're still talking about this in 2022 (or whatever year it is when they say it)

I hadn't been on here for 3 days (I think) so you can imagine how I felt... Until I saw how much of it was just talk about MCU, then....



My previous comment about seen neither, care about neither stands for most of what's followed and I don't expect that to change. However, there have been a couple of exceptions with the latter part of that statement. I wouldn't mind seeing both The VVitch or It Follows (I've actually had It Follows for years but not watched it) and Hereditary isn't completely out of the question, either. It Follows is the one I'm most confident of liking, though I'm a sucker for an atmosphere, so if that works for me with either of the other two I might like them more.

There's been more horror that I'd have expected so far, but that feels more like getting it out of the way with very little coming after more than the start of a trend.

Will there be Christmas updates or are we taking a break for a day or two?

Even if that was true, emptiness can still be more thoroughly explored without dragging it on for three hours. That's the kind of thing best left to slow cinema. Otherwise you just have a plethora of quick-pacwd scenes all doing the exact same thing: lightly going about a biopic while throwing it lots of hard R stuff.
