The MoFo Top 100 of the 2010s Countdown

I nominated this one. I love the film but it just missed out on my list.

That's a good list. Nice mix to it. Lovely to see 'Like Father, Like Son' get a mention.

Good to see these three mentioned. Maps to the Stars was another very last cut.

I usually average two a day with an approximate new watch/rewatch ratio of 2:1. Perhaps it's just a matter of you not seeing as many 2010s films specifically.

I mean, you can watch 8 movies a day and just not watch any movies post 2009, so that you get 0/100 on this countdown.

Look, I'm not judging you - after all, I'm posting here myself, but maybe, just maybe, if you spent less time here and more time watching films, maybe, and I stress, maybe your taste would be of some value. Just a thought, ya know.

Whiplash was my number one film of the decade. Something about a teacher struggling to find his Buddy Rich and the young student who helps him reach his dream speaks to me. I can watch this movie anytime and most of it is due to J.K Simmons performance. It's one of my favorites of all time. Get done watching this and something inside me tells me I need buy some insurance.


Not much of a Wes Anderson fan. I had seen everything up until Mr. Fox and didn't like any of them. For some odd reason, I gave Moonrise Kingdom a go and really liked it. I mean really liked it. Then came The Grand Budapest Hotel and I wasn't all to eager to see that one, figuring Moonrise was the exception and this was going to be another slog. After watching it, Budapest was just as good, maybe a smidge better than Moonrise, so I gave this one the nod. The chase scene may be one of the funniest moments of the last decade - or this:
It was on my ballot at number 14.


When this is all done I will have seen 76 of the 100 and it looks to stay that way for awhile.

Ah yes, the matt72582 method.

(Speaking of which, he apparently did submit a list but from the looks of it he hasn't posted in this thread once. Very curious to see what he picked.)

My list: Seen 98/100, not in a hurry to see the Raid films, but maybe a martial art marathon is in order at some point. Ended up with 16 making the list, which is actually a little low for this normie. Did have 5 in the top 10 though, which is much more than normal.

1. The Tree of Life (2011)
2. The Master (2012)
3. The Social Network (2010)
4. Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)
5. Foxcatcher (2014) Wish people loved this as much as I do. Miller is my jam and often wish he directed more. Moneyball is fantastic as well.
6. La La Land (2016)
7. Shoplifters (2018)
8. Once Upon a Time in Anatolia (2011) Glad I rewatched this before the countdown or it may have been a casualty of time. Amazing cinematography. Another director I seem to love more than most.
9. Another Year (2010) I am in the minority with this being my favorite Leigh by quite a stretch. Such wonderfully endearing characters.
10. The Turin Horse (2011)
11. The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
12. Silence (2016)
13.Poetry (2010) Tried to get this one in the list by nominating it in the decade watch thread. Felt like it almost worked. I think it dwarves Burning, but maybe it was missing Walking Dead stunt casting.
14. The Favourite (2018)
15. American Hustle (2013) Russell still works for me. Glad to see him represented by Silver Linings. This is the superior film though.
16. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
17. The Revenant (2015)
18. Frances Ha (2013) Maybe the movie on my list I am most surprised didn't place. this is also my biggest mea culpa of the decade. I didn't like it the first time but have loved it the >3 viewings since. Baumbach rocks.
19. The Farewell (2019) Such a melancholy celebration of humanity. Couldn't not be on my list despite being overdue for a rewatch.
20. The Descendants (2011)
21. Melancholia (2011)
22. A Separation (2011)
23. Shame (2011) I think this is the only first time watch I did specifically for the list and it landed on it. Mostly watched because I thought it would be on the list, because I knew it would be an uncomfortable watch. It was, but it is also probably the best movie about addiction I have ever watched. His movies aren't easy, so I probably dismiss McQueen too easily. I also love 12 Years despite only seeing it once.
24. Ex Machina (2015)
25. Asako I & II (2018) Down a Hamaguchi rabbit hole I went when Drive My Car became all the rage early last year. Despite really liking everything I saw, this one emerged as the easy favorite. Fantastic characters. Has that art house sensibility of being a mystery, but not exactly, because the plot doesn't matter all that much. I love that style of writing and usually really respond to it.

A late cut of mine. Nice to see someone voted for it. As for the director, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, I've seen five of his films and they all get pretty good to great ratings from me.

Well, are you all ready?
