5. Whiplash (2014)
With only two films, Damien Chazelle has managed to become one of my favorite directors living today. The man directed this masterpiece before he was even 30, which is pretty damn impressive. For me, this is the most intense movie of the decade and one of the most intense movies I've seen period. Don't come in expecting a movie like Rocky about a guy giving it all and achieving success in drumming. No, this is a furious, raging, yet somehow beautiful look at the relationship between an abusive college drum professor and his student. JK Simmons gives an amazing acting performance, and Miles Teller is fantastic as well. A favorite of mine for sure.
