It’s very good, although I think the people calling it “one of the best movies of the decade” are wildly overrating it. It’s very solid though. |

It's not just a pretty movie, or a great story, or some great acting performances. Everything coalesces to a narrative that is both ambiguous and pointed simultaneously. Nobody's all good. Nobody's all bad. No one big event sets everything in motion. It's the implacable inertia of fate dealing its hand out in our current times and letting the chips fall as they may. And it's tone is all over the place while still remaining coherent. It's something you can ruminate on and still not make progress, yet still feel the rumination was productive.

Dallas Buyer's Club! Another great one. Not one I'd want to watch often (if ever again) though, like 12 Years a Slave.
Matthew Mchowever you spell it is ****ing awesome these days. One of my fave actors. |

I was skeptical when the new wave of the Rocky Franchise came out, but I've heard that they're actually really good. I'll still probably skip Balboa, but check out the Creed films

If you skip one - skip Creed 2. Balboa isn't as good as Rocky but it has a very similar feel. It is probably #2 or #3 in the franchise.

Mine are all on here already, but I’ll be damned if Wolf of Wall St is not seriously considered the best movie of the 2010’s. What a hell of a fun ride that movie was.

Solid list. I agree with the ones that I've watched. I need to get around to watching Fury Road. And on the basis of the six that you've listed that I have watched, I'll need to check out the five. Extra points for Killer Joe. Such a hidden gem, and those last fifteen minutes alone could get anyone to sit through it if it isn't their thing
