Slate movie critic Kevin B. Lee recently conducted an informal poll of the best movies of the decade so far. More than 260 people responded with their top ten best films, and Lee compiled the results that was made into a video of the top 25 films from the time period. While the poll is not scientific, it gives a good idea of many of the recent films most likely to be remembered after the decade’s end.
So, below is a video of the top 25 films from 2010-2014. Check it out. [Update: Unfortunately the video is no longer available.]
The Best Films of Decade So Far (2010-2014) from Fandor Keyframe on Vimeo.
There are some surprises. It was good to see Margaret (2011), a lesser known excellent movie, up at number 5. But there is plenty to argue about. For example, although I enjoyed The Master (2012), I would not put it anywhere near number 3. I understand why Tree of Life (2011) is number 1, but it was not the movie I enjoyed the most during this time period. If you prefer to read the list instead of watching the video, head over to Fandor.
While some may argue that the decade should start with 2011, it makes a better list that it covers five years.
What is your favorite movie the decade so far? Leave your two cents in the comments.
