  1. 172m wouldn't be a bad gross for Dune. Adjusted that's over 200m.
  2. Wow, seven months for the countdown. I can reveal one movie every few days. Pretty sweet schedule.
  3. Even if it was commercially released outside America in 2009 it's still eligible.
  4. Good shout-out. Y'all like Bong now, right? This right here is some prime Bong.
  5. It is over. The decade that began with Johnny Depp's Futterwacken dance in Alice in Wonderland and ended with the release of Cats is behind us. In between, there was the consistency of Nolan and Marvel, the rise of A24 and Netflix, impressive work by promising newcomers and reliable veterans alike, box-office juggernauts that delivered on every level and independent and foreign releases that fought for, and won, the attention they deserved. The state of film production and distribution may have been turbulent to say the least, but still in the end we had no shortage of films to be excited and passionate about. Let's see what our collective list of favorites is going to look like. THE RULES - PM me, or post in the thread, a ranked list of between 30 and 100 films from the 2010s by the end of the month. - If your list has 50 or fewer films on it, points will be cut in half. Only lists with 51 or more films on them get full points. ELIGIBILITY - Every feature-length (40+ minutes) film released between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2019 is eligible. - Films that had their festival/non-American premiere in 2009 but were not released commercially in North America until 2010 are eligible. I don't expect this rule to impact the final top 100 since there are no high-profile mainstream films it applies to, but it gives fans of e.g. Dogtooth and Enter the Void an opportunity to include them that they likely wouldn't have had if this kind of list had been done for the 2000s ten years ago. - Films that had their festival/non-American premiere in 2019 but were not released commercially in North America until 2020 are eligible. See the above, but this time applying to fans of e.g. First Cow, Beanpole, A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon, etc. If you've already seen and liked them enough to include them on your list, no point in making you wait another decade. Who knows if we'll all still even be here. - TV episodes and miniseries are, of course, ineligible, except in the very rare cases when they were shown as films at their premiere (the only notable example of this I can think of is O.J.: Made in America, but there may be others). SCORING Tiers. Lots of tiers. So many tiers. DEADLINE Send your finished lists in by Tuesday, March 31. My current plan is to begin the countdown in the following days and hopefully finish it on the Bond weekend. Feel free to use this thread to talk the past decade of film, share your own lists, favorites and recommendations. You have almost a full month to catch up with any movies you haven't seen, so take advantage of it! Any questions or feedback, shoot. Come on let's go.
  6. The Irishman write-up got repurposed from the top 25 countdown. Someone didn't do the homework for this one I guess
  7. boffies' streak of having much more inspired acting winners than the oscars extends to one more year
  8. Normally I'd say it's rude to snatch the funniest poster award from Pink's hands like this but okay you earned it.
  9. It's gotta be Pugh. I put Cho Yeo-jeong as my #1 but I don't think she has a chance.
  10. I thought Little Women was gonna win. No problem with that but yeah Irishman is my favorite.
  11. I had it third. Individually everyone is in their element doing solid work but it's not much of an actual ensemble movie.
  12. Uncut Gems got badly snubbed here. My favorite ensemble of the year quite easily although Parasite is the right winner out of these six.
