Thanks man, your list is sick – Computer Chess looks like a lot of fun. Surprised none of the stuff Godard did recently makes your favorites though – his post Helas Pour Moi output kind of lost me, but I think you’re probably the biggest fan of him on here. Besides boasting some of the most beautiful cinematography I’ve ever seen, it’s a ghost of an epic, political story that simmers and simmers until it finally boils over into a furious and horrifying ending that echoes reality in a genuinely painful way. Seems to me that Diaz poured his soul and, as best he could, the soul of his people into it. It’s partly about a conscious “looking away” of a collective (it really does make an excellent companion piece to The White Ribbon, and it may even have a broader scope when you take everything into account), and I love how Diaz weaves the way he depicts violence throughout the film into this – we never really directly see any violence inflicted on anyone. We only seen the aftermath, or the lead up, or an obscuring of the act. Even at the end, the body of the female soldier blocks our ability to actually see the wounds being delivered on to the torture victim, though we watch his screams and cries. While this is a brilliant device that can be read in a few ways, it stuck out to me especially in that what we imagine (like the villagers cruelly imagine a monster is Joselina's father) – Joselina’s rape, the murders and suicides, the animal cruelty – is the only possible way we can attempt to approach the horror of what happened here. I have no idea what to make of the very last shot, but it’s stuck with me like few have from this decade. Nice, glad to hear it! As profound as I consider Mulholland Dr., I'm at the point where I think I'd call The Return his greatest work. It's easily his most ambitious, the amount of levels it functions on is incredible. "SHE'S SICK! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!" |

Very good list you have there. I love the Mysteries Of Lisbon and Sion Sono inclusions. I'm not a fan of Phantom Thread, It Follows and Margaret at all, but everything else is pretty solid. I guess I should try watching the Twin Peaks film series, since I've seen it been praised here a lot, but I generally gon't have the right commitment for them (I never seem to finish them, since I always get distracted by films I want to watch instead and I never get back to the series once I stop viewing it in the middle). With that said, I have never seen a series which I found consistently good all the way through. Some of the episodes always seem like a chore.
Anyway, if I had to make a top 25 films of the decade it would be something like this:
1. Meek's Cutoff (Kelly Reichardt, 2010)
2. Winter Sleep (Nuri Bilge Ceylan, 2014)
3. The Master (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2012)
4. Caesar Must Die (Paolo Taviani & Vittorio Taviani, 2012)
5. An Elephant Sitting Still (Hu Bo, 2018)
6. Mysteries Of Lisbon (Raul Ruiz, 2010)
7. Rage (Lee Sang-il, 2016)
8. The Hunt (Thomas Vinterberg, 2012)
9. Sleeping Beauty (Julia Leigh, 2011)
10. The Wild Pear Tree (Nuri Bilge Ceylan, 2018)
11. The Nightingale (Jennifer Kent, 2018)
12. Assassination (Choi Dong-hoon, 2015)
13. The Blue Elephant (Marwan Hamed, 2014)
14. The Blue Elephant 2 (Marwan Hamed, 2019)
15. Tag (Sion Sono, 2015)
16. A Touch Of Sin (Jia Zhanke, 2013)
17. Where Do We Go Now? (Nadine Labaki, 2011)
18. The Past (Asghar Farhadi, 2013)
19. The Innocents (Anne Fontaine, 2016)
20. Taxi (Jafar Panahi, 2015)
21. Wind River (Taylor Sheridan, 2017)
22. Why Don’t You Play in Hell? (Sion Sono, 2013)
23. Shadow (Zhang Yimou, 2018)
24. Graduation (Cristian Mungiu, 2016)
25. Last Letter (Shunji Iwai, 2018)

stinkybritchesI love your list and especially your inclusions of Tokyo Tribe and The World Of Kanako. Sion Sono is probably the best director of the decade, as he has made several very solid films since 2010 (and before that as well). And I'm glad I found another fan of Tetsuya Nakashima, as I haven't seen his films discussed on here at all. Is The World Of Kanako your favourite from him?

Great taste you guys, I love these lists!  themoviesinner Very interesting list - Meek’s Cutoff is one I probably need to revisit, and Winter’s Sleep is unforgettable - and I would of course highly recommend Twin Peaks if you’re down to watch it. The right order is to do the first two seasons, then the movie, then The Return. stinkybritches Holy SHIT, someone else on here has seen (and loved) Jauja?! What’d you make of it (story-wise and thematically)? Good shit! eyebrowmorroco Extremely singular list, love it. |

I actually haven't seen a ton from Sono (including not yet seeing Love Exposure, which seems to be the closest to a consensus "masterpiece" from him, if forced to choose one). I almost included Guilty of Romance, that would fall just out of my top 25, and his new one (on Netflix) The Forest of Love is excellent too. Tag is a lot of fun as well. As for Nakashima, I love his bonkers cinematography and editing, ultra-stylized and pushed to the limits, often with a lurid, garishly heightened (in a good way) color palette. An overwhelming style at times, but I dig it. Kamikaze Girls is probably my fave from him, followed by World of Kanako, and then Confessions. |

I love it's unique gothic-punk aesthetic and it's frantic pace. He also released a new film last year, It Comes, but I haven't managed to find it anywhere yet. It has been on my watchlist for several months. |

These are impossible for me- I'm too indecisive and I change my mind every time I put even a little mental effort into it. PLUS I still have about 600 movies I need to catch up on. That being said, here's what I have at the moment-
1. Mad Max: Fury Road
2. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
3. Under the Skin
4. Inherent Vice
5. The Lobster
6. Amour
7. Senna
8. The Red Turtle
9. Holy Motors
10. The Master
11. A Field in England
12. Only God Forgives
13. Blue Is the Warmest Color
14. Jackie
15. Drive
16. The Wolf of Wall Street
17. Good Time
18. The Act of Killing
19. Burning
20. The Irishman
21. Kaili Blues
22. Computer Chess
23. No (I think a rewatch will jump this up a few spots)
24. Zama
25. The Tribe
I know I'm forgetting something, but that's what I got.
