best films of 2010-2019

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.
