Top 100 of the Decade: 71-80

The 2010s have produced some great films, excellent actors, and exciting directors. As the decade comes to a close, I find it fitting to take a look back at the best movies that have come out in the past 10 years. The best part about lists such as this is it provides a baseline for you to start thinking about how your list would differ and might just inspire you to check some of the movies out that I mention you may have never seen.

Today's post will focus on films ranked 71 to 80.

80. First Reformed

Ethan Hawke's priest has his world turned upside down by an environmental activist in this thought provoking look at religion, climate change, and our role within the current world.

79. mother!

A cabin in the woods story unlike anything I had ever seen before. An interesting biblical parable that takes unexpected turn after unexpected turn.

78. Support the Girls

Solid performances in an incredibly realistic look at the people we often tend to overlook.

77. Midnight in Paris

A fun romantic comedy with a twist. Every night Owen Wilson travels the streets of Paris and encounters great historical figures.

76. Split

Maybe the performance of the decade from James McAvoy. The Unbreakable sequel we did not deserve and great to see Shyamalan back after a pretty abysmal '00s. 

75. Vice

The king of physical transformations, Christian Bale, does it again, this time as Dick Cheney. A fascinating look at a time I lived through yet had little awareness of.

74. Green Room

Shocking bits of violence interspersed into one of the most tense nights of a young rock band's life.

73. Mistress America

Noah Baumbach's funniest movie as well as his best looking film. Takes everything that is classic Baumbach but Greta Gerwig helps to shave off some of his more nihilistic edges.

72. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

An anthology from the Coen Brothers telling stories from the Old West towards the end of the Civil War.

71. Blindspotting

Incredibly tense. Beautiful imagery. Intricate poetry through rap.

Stay tuned for the next ten in the series coming soon.
