A Thoughtful Discussion on the Best Movies of the Decade

Three film-lovers (and knowledgeable ones at that) discuss their favorite movies of the decade.

Hey all - Hope you’re enjoying the Holidays!

With 2020 right around the corner, I thought I’d share a pretty solid read regarding some of the best movies of the soon-ending decade.

I’m so thankful for the friendship I’ve developed with these two Austinites, Adam and Sam (who “co-wrote” the below discussion with me). Not only do they appreciate cinema like I do, but they also happen to be very thoughtful, just genuinely awesome people. And they know a shit-ton about movies.

Anyway, as members of our long-running Movie Committee group, we tasked one another with each coming up with a ranked list of our own top ten films of the 2010s. We then shared our respective lists in a group chat, and discussed.

So, if you’re in the mood for a well-rounded, interesting deep-dive into some of the best flicks this decade had to offer, sit back and enjoy the following (well-written) conversation between Sam, Adam and myself. You got two options:
