And just like that, we’re entering a new decade, and one that will hopefully bring us many great movies. But let us not forget the 2010s, and all the excellent films that were made over the past 10 years. Masterpieces from iconic filmmakers, surprise amazing debuts from new talent, superhero sagas that transcended the form, horror films that continue to freak us out, the return of dystopian heroes after a 30-year break… we’ve had it all.
IGN’s entertainment team got together and put together the following list of the best movies of the decade after much deliberation, lots of killing of darlings, and more than one Slack debate. We hope you enjoy reading this list as much as we enjoyed putting it together, and when you’re done here, why not go watch a few of these classic flicks too?
