That meme of 20 favorite movies from the 2010's is going around my friendlist, so I decided to add my extremely subjective contribution.
2010: The King's Speech, Winter's Bone
2011: In the Family, The Awakening
2012: Berberian Sound Studio, Byzantium
2013: Pacific Rim, Starred Up
2014: The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Duke of Burgundy
2015: Demon, Neither Heaven nor Earth
2016: Midnight Special, A Dark Song
2017: God's Own Country, Small Town Crime
2018: The Favourite, The Rusalka
2019: Rust Creek, The Lighthouse
Runners-up: Despicable Me (2010), The Adjustment Bureau (2011), Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), Dimensions: A Line, a Loop, a Tangle of Threads (2011), The Adventures of Tintin (2011), The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! (2012), A Field in England (2013), The World's End (2013), Europa Report (2013), Edge of Tomorrow (2014), Mr. Turner (2014), Song of the Sea (2014), The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015), The Witch: A New-England Folktale (2015), Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), Experimenter: The Stanley Milgram Story (2015), Carol (2015), Colossal (2016), Moana (2016), The Limehouse Golem (2016), Call Me by Your Name (2017), Mohawk (2017), Dunkirk (2017), Coco (2017), The Shape of Water (2017), Marjorie Prime (2017), The Ritual (2017), Black Panther (2018), Who Will Write Our History (2018), Annihilation (2018), Apollo 11 (2019). For purposes of this meme I am not counting In Fabric (2018) even though I adored it, because its wide-release dates were deeply weird and therefore it was my first movie-in-theaters of 2020.
It is obvious from this list that, as usual, I have never written about some movies that I loved very much and should perhaps attempt a catch-up project in my copious free time; we'll see. I watch so many fewer first-run movies than movies made decades before I was born, I still don't know what happened in 2017, but I enjoyed it.
