best films of 2010-2019

Gotta happen now.

We'll do the 2016 poll first.

I wouldn't mind if only to see what our non-American posters nominate that isn't distributed here.

Morbs worries Mad Max: Fury Road will outrank Gespenster or Amour Fou.

Hong's Hill of Freedom hasn't even been distributed in NEW YORK.

(i have seen it cuz that's how i roll)

Interesting that 12 Years a Slave apparently didn't receive a single vote (I never got around to seeing it).

I thought Hill of Freedom was a bit overrated. Preferred his two films from 13, Nobody's Daughter Haewon and Our Sunhi.

I liked In Another Country but the four people in the audience searched the ground for rocks in the last half hour.

I'd include Kings and Queen on that list.

Kings and Queen is too early to qualify, right?

love kings and queen, but I feel like it's been 8 years or so since I first saw it

oh yeah whoops. I forgot the terms of the thread.

sure bcz these threads eventually lead to dumping every title ever

We should do a 2010-2015 poll sometime during the year.

i want to see what results of this would be, lets make this happen
if someone will help w graphics i would gladly tabulate/rollout/whatever :)

Glad we waited.

(Was just looking at the TSPDT list to see what titles would likely to be at the top of the 2010-2019 lists when they come in and ... it's going to be The Tree of Life in a landslide.)

I wonder if the the dork that voted "Louie, “Elevator (Part 1-6)” (Louis CK)" has regrets

lol

I hope he revises. That's otherwise one of the best lists in the bunch.

he did include Mysteries of Lisbon, which I think is one of the greatest films of the decade

Magic Mike XXL on the other hand...

I’ve watched 1987: When The Day Comes like four times now, i think it belongs in the running

Magic Mike XXL on the other hand... was shit

THE shit

lol

I’ve watched 1987: When The Day Comes like four times now, i think it belongs in the running

i don't know what that is, but i mistrust by title alone as with that Evangelion anime shit

Ignore the person posting and just check out the movie

Looks like it would make a good double feature with The Taxi Driver (2017).

i don't know what that is, but i mistrust by title alone as with that Evangelion anime shit

end of evangelion is a movie for which you have be familiar a whole tv series before watching, so it’s like fire walk with me. it being anime is incidental. anime is a medium

since you’ll never watch either i can’t begin to understand why you even give a shit

jumping the gun, and a rather wtf list by my sights

Only ballot that matters.

Uwe Boll (Director, “Alone in the Dark”)

The Wolf of Wall Street
The Big Short
Drive
The Raid 2
Assault on Wall Street

I don't know a single one of Monte Hellman's picks.

seven americans in the top 10? ok

Mad Max aside, that top five is fucking violence

Bullshit idea especially just ahead of Cannes.

I like the one vote for The Lone Ranger.

I've seen some critics I respect defend The Lone Ranger, but I'm still too Depp-fatigued to give it a shot.

Armond?

I said critics I RESPECT

His ballot, btw:

Armond White (National Review)

Man of Steel
The President
Wild Grass
Vincere
Queen & Country

I've never heard of The President--unless, in a typical Armondian touch, he's listing the current President of the United States as the second greatest movie of the decade (behind Zach Snyder, natch).

It's a lesser Mohsen Makhmalbaf film.

Philip French gave 'The Lone Ranger' a sympathetic review https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/aug/11/the-lone-ranger-review

FWIW I think it's pretty good, but does have problems, not least the whitewashing of Johnny Depp as Tonto.

Indulge me while I ridicule the two Toronto voters I spotted: Liz Braun, who was literally a gossip columnist when I last paid attention, and Peter Howell, who went from being a terrible a rock critic to--again, from what little I read by him when he started out--a terrible film reviewer.

Were people specifically instructed not to vote for documentaries? Quick scan of the Top 75 and I don't see any. That makes no sense to me.

I'll stop whining; I see a number of films I love, led by #4 and #5.

I don't know the writing of the two Toronto critics you mentioned, and I'm in no hurry to check them out, but their ballots are not embarrassing. I don't know what The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby is, though.

re docs, in the top 30 I see The Act of Killing and No Home Movie.

Well..."a number" = four. And another dozen I like.

(I still remember Howell's hand-wringing the first time he got a Sight & Sound best-ever invite. The problem wasn't that his list was bad, it was that I didn't believe anything on there--the accompanying comments seemed to indicate a preoccupation with making "correct" choices.)

Thanks--I scanned quickly, missed them. Would be nice to see at least one Wiseman on there; he had a great decade.
