so far, what would you call the "greatest" movie of the 2010s?

Tree of Life is an obvious one. Oslo, August 31 and Holy Motors are both up there. Uncle Boonme, The Artist, Wolf of Wall Street, and The Social Network might squeak in too.

Its definitely Holy Motors that does it for me!

Other notable films are stuff like Aurora by Cristi Puiu, Stranger by the Lake by Alain Guiraudie, Camille Claudel 1915 by Bruno Dumont, Barbara by Christian Petzold and The Turin Horse by Béla Tarr and Ágnes Hranitzky.

I will try to make a list of my favorites later!

The Tree of Life is from my perspective the worst Terrence Malick film i have seen. Oslo, August 31 is good but not great. Uncle Boonme is great but im planning to rewatch it later, i think i underrated it. WoWS and The Social Network are imo decent but not that great.

interesting list. what didn't you like about tree of life? disagree strongly with oslo, that movie stuck with me like few others ever.

Its a long time since i have seen it, but i have it on dvd, so i should probably revisit it at some point.

From what i can remember it was really the cgi / dinosaur sequence that really turned me off.

I should say im a big Terrence Malick fan, for me, its The Thin Red Line that stands as his biggest achievement, though i haven't seen The New World, which some people have a high regard for.

I can definitely understand that Oslo, 31st made a big impact on you. It is in no way a bad film

Shame, Tree of Life and Uncle Boonmee away, The Turin Horse is arguably the greatest masterpiece of 2010s!

A good film but the director's earlier film Reprise is far better I think. Adored it.

1. Before Midnight
2. Her
3. Spring Breakers
4. Toy Story 3 (haven't seen this in a couple years. it might not stay this high if i saw it again)
5. The Master

I'd have to give this a lot of thought, but for now I'll just say that I saw The Social Network again a few months ago, and it holds up awfully well.

2011 for me has probably the three strongest.


Drive
Moneyball
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy


2010


Inception
Toy Story 3


2012


Silver Linings Playbook
TDKR
Looper
Zero Dark Thirty


2013


Nothing that really blew me away yet. Prisoners was good though.

That is a great movie. Highly overlooked by the academy.

The Turin Horse, The Master, and Before Midnight.

The Descendants holds the top spot for me. Flight, Inception, and Gravity right on the heels. The Avengers and American Hustle round out the race.

I'd have The Artist and The Tree of Life as mine, thus far, for realzies.

Berenice Bejo is the number one reason why I don't mind The Artist.

Kick-Ass
The King's Speech
Kill The Irishman
Drive
Harry Potter 7.2
Shame
Behind the Candelabra
Rush
Wolf Of Wall Street

1.The Master
2.The Wolf of Wall Street
3.Drive
4.Winter's Bone
5.True Grit
6.Animal Kingdom
7.The Descendants
8.Neds
