This list stemmed from an argument at work and one that annoys me when I see it brought up around here: "there are no good original movies being made anymore". Guy claimed I couldn't make a list of good movies in the last few years more than about 20 long. I gave him a list of about 75, and thought I would post 50 for fun in here.
Some things to throw out there before I start the countdown:
- Like I said of the decade so far... 2010 on
- I avoided remakes and sequels (to my knowledge)
- I think I avoided comic book movies in general, because most have heard of/seen them
- I am not claiming this to be a "best of" list. While I think all the movies are good on the list, I know I left better made movies off the list that I might not like as well.
- I don't watch many action movies, so not many will be on my list. Most of my favs fell into the category of the 1st two items listed above: MI4, Capt America 2, etc..
- I also don't watch many comedy movies, so only one or two show up here. Never seem to rank them highly anyway.
- I really dislike Wes Anderson, so don't expect any movies of his here.
- I didn't list any foreign movies or documentaries. There are many of these, and we can list them later, but I figure a big chunk of people here don't watch either very often, and this will keep the discussion going.
- While I will do a countdown, these aren't really in exact order. More in tiers, as I couldn't tell you with confidence why #48 is better than #50.
- There are a TON of movies I haven't seen (esp. this year), this is more to generate discussion and kill boredom for me.
And away we go (will try to post at least 5 a day...):
