BOT's Top 100 Films of the 2010s | Still accepting last-minute lists

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Every decade can be said to be unlike any other decade, and in terms of cinema, the 2010s were certainly no exception. This decade saw the birth of new auteurs, the rise of indie distributors (such as A24 and Neon), and the rise of streaming, among other things. The tools for feature film production are more accessible than ever before, and many films have shown that to be the case. I absolutely cannot wait to see how BOT handles this ranking, and furthermore, I can't wait to participate myself.

Nah, but fr, some actual FYC. Specifically ones that people don't talk about anymore, or movies that may not be regarded as classics, or even that well liked, but I think are very well done and deserve at least one viewing, even if you may not like it in the end.
