Somewhere (2010) - 6
above average, but did I miss something?
Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2011) - 7
doco - fascinating history, no question
Melancholia (2011) - 8
my #1 of the decade
Before Midnight (2013) - 5
whatever - if you like Linklater's talky 'meaning of life' movies.
Phoenix (2014) - 6
good German woman's film re post-holocaust. Nina Hoss is ace.
John Wick (2014) - 4
tedious
Selma (2014) - 6
solid Martin Luther King biopic, if not particularly memorable.
Moonlight (2016) - 6
appreciated it, but didn't go for it.
The Lost City of Z (2017) - 6
good adventure drama / period biopic re. Amazon exploration.
Roma (2018) - not seen

John Wick as one of the best movies of the whole decade?

I disagree with that list. How so? I don`t think those are the 10 best movies of the decade..........I thought that was obvious.

John Wick as one of the best movies of the whole decade? Seems like they wanted a popular movie to make their list less pretentious. Selma sucked. That guy is no MLK. |

Seems like they wanted a popular movie to make their list less pretentious. If that was a concern, wouldn't they have chosen mostly or even only popular movies?

They want their arthouse street cred, but don't want to be too obvious so they threw in John Wick. |

Yeah, questioning why John Wick would make a top 10 of the decade list, let alone one with Somewhere and Melancholia on it, is just like moon landing conspiracies. You're right. |

You're not questioning it. You're claiming there's an agenda. An implausibly meticulous agenda. And you talk like you read the voters' minds.

I said " Seems like they wanted a popular movie to make their list less pretentious". As for the implausible meticulousness, I've been on the internet longer than 5 minutes and I've seen and heard people throw movies onto their list to diversify it. I'd be asking the same question if someone had a list of 9 superhero blockbusters, followed by "Son of Saul" or something. |
