The MoFo Top 100 of the 2010s Countdown

I didn’t mean anything by it, just some light ball busting.

Cool. I didn't think you meant anything bad. I was just wondering how your viewed the countdown compared to your own movie taste.

12. Mostly the superhero movies, which I understand isn’t your thing. Burning surprises me, of them all. The Martian as well, considering I always thought you were a fan of Ridley

Unless there's a HUGE upset tomorrow, these are the ones I haven't seen...

99. World of Tomorrow (2015, Don Hertzfeldt)
92. Anomalisa (2015, Charlie Kaufman & Duke Johnson)

86. 1917 (2019, Sam Mendes)
85. Deadpool (2016, Tim Miller)
84. Certified Copy (2010, Abbas Kiarostami)
81. The Turin Horse (2011, Bela Tarr & Agnes Hranitzky)
80. The Handmaiden (2016, Park Chan-wook)

70. Easy A (2010, Will Gluck)

60. Joker (2019, Todd Phillips)

is it just me or has this list taken longer to reveal than previous ones?

Just you. Exactly as long as all of them. Two reveals a day 100-11, one-a-day 9-3, then the last two. He missed no days.

It should feel faster, the older you are.

Weird.

Longer? Feels like shorter.

That's what puts me off the film the most.

Why do you like bugging her so much?

See, this is how I already look at the clips I've seen and I'm rolling my eyes at that. The thought of watching the entire film/performance? I think I'd just leave.

I don't know enough about it to argue the point, so I'm happy to bow to superior knowledge on this. But there seemed to be about 2 or 3 women and men who sang the parts in most of the big/most famous H'Wood musicals of the 50's and 60's.

Really? Dammit. I thought I was a shoe-in for that one.

FYI, it's 10 years.

Me too. Although it's almost all of them and they're all by choice.

It's such a shame that so much work has gone into a decade so poor. It has been fun though, for the most part, so thanks to everyone for posting and making it so.

The decade wasn't poor. You're all just watching the wrong films.

Since there is a discussion about the "Seen Index"...

As with the Comedy countdown, I'm at a bit more than half of the list seen, meaning about 56-58.

Moreover, I don't count completists as connoisseurs (knowledgeable about the art of cinema).

I really love The Grand Budapest Hotel, however, I simply didn’t have room for it. Or, I also knew it would make it high just fine without me, so I rather wanted to vote for other films that might have a harder time. At least if I was in doubt and thought two movies were equally good, I often went with a pick I knew didn’t have a secured, say, top 10 place on this list..

I am slightly surprised though that it made it all the way to number three.

I echo those statements. This is one of my Beloved Rewatches from my list, and rate it on the top end of the Star Wars films.

Since we all know the last two entrees, Posting a few that am genuinely shocked not to make this countdown.





Never heard of : 29 / 98
Seen: 46 / 98
1 ptrs: 4

I like Grand Budapest Hotel . Not really in consideration for my list though. None of the top 10 were on my list.


I've seen 79 overall, which is fewer than I feel I should have watched. Lots to add to the watchlist though, including those from people's individual ballots that look interesting.

Briefly considered Eighth Grade, but as touching as it was and much as I liked it, it's not a film that stuck with me.

Four Lions, on the other hand, I hung to for a bit more. I had even put it on my Comedy Countdown ballot, so at the end of the day, it was a conscious choice to put it aside and put the spotlight on a few other lesser knowns.

I also thought that this movie gonna be in the list.
Again, I didn't consider it for my ballot but anyway, it is among the films that I'll remember from the decade. It is on my extended list, top 70 probably...

I just did a quick count think I'll be at 95/100 seen. Two that I want to watch soon: The Favourite and The Lighthouse.

I feel like it's safe to say, at this point, that my No.5 will not be making the list...
