It’s that time of the year when people put together their top ten movies of the year. I don’t watch many movies in the theater though (it’s not really in the budget for time or money what with having young children), so I don’t usually do that. But! This is also the end of the decade we’re coming to, and I’ve watched a few movies that were released in the past 10 years (mostly on DVD/Blu-Ray), so I thought I’d make a top ten list out of those.
I’ve watched 337 movies from the decade. Most were mediocre, at best. But, there were some that were good, and a few that were very good indeed. I use Letterboxd (ugh, that lack of a vowel) to keep track of the films I watch and summarize my opinion. So, I only rated one of them in the last 10 years with 5 stars: Toy Story 3. Yeah, surprised me too; I thought for sure there would be at least a few.
