Top Ten Flims of the Decade

[Lost Oliver]

I'll kick us off with a list and then go into detail another time.

The Master (Paul Thomas Anderson 2012)
The Act of Killing (Joshua Oppenheimer, 2012)
Embrace of the Serpent (Ciro Guerra, 2015)
Paradise: Love (Ulrich Seidl, 2012)
Winter Sleep (Nuri Bilge Ceylan, 2014)
A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting Upon Existence (Roy Andersson, 2014)
Taxi Tehran (Jafar Panah, 2015)
Happy Hour (Ryūsuke Hamaguchi, 2015)
The Wolf House (Joaquín Cociña / Cristóbal León, 2018)
Leviathan (Andrey Zvyagintsev, 2014)

That's not in any order.

These are films that have had an effect on me and I'd gladly watch over and over again. Might actually put Under The Skin in there over The Master but it's close.

The Master is a film, but Inherent Vice is a movie? I'm not sure you've thought this through

[Sebastian Cobb]

I'd say The Lobster is even less of a movie than Inherent Vice.

[Billy]

In chronological order:

The Wolf of Wall Street
Under the Skin
Her
Nightcrawler
Whiplash
Nocturnal Animals
La La Land
The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
A Star Is Born

There's nothing before 2014 as until then I only went to the movies about 2-3 times a year, usually just to see that year's Best Picture winner and whatever the big summer hit was. Then I worked at a cinema for years so got to see them all for free for a good while - 'Nocturnal Animals' had some of the most walkouts I've ever seen, and from memory I watched it on a weekday afternoon as the only person in the screen. (inevitably the cinema closed down three months later)

'Boyhood' was my all-time favourite for ages but thinking back recently I liked it more for the idea of it than the film itself.

1. Margin call.
2. Zero dark thirty.

Margin Call made me want to blow up banks.

The Master is a film, but Inherent Vice is a movie? I'm not sure you've thought this through

Not that seriously but I would say the latter is more focused on entertaining than the former.

'Boyhood' was my all-time favourite for ages but thinking back recently I liked it more for the idea of it than the film itself.

Yeah, I saw it for the second time recently and it was more about admiring the achievement than actually enjoying the thing.

I mean, no, I ENJOYED it and all, but there aren't many truly great cinematic moments. And if that wasn't what he was aiming for, then OK, but fuck off with 'masterpiece' or whatever. It's just a fine long-winded human-interest film about a family.

[Sin Agog]

There's a totally inadvertent ominous current coursing through Boyhood.  All the times characters looked away from the road for far too long whilst driving, that knife-throwing scene, things like that.  It's like it's building up to a disaster that never happens.
