Interesting exercise. Teaches me that, man, I really didn't care for many movies over this last decade. Still haven't seen some of the current Best Picture noms, like Knives Out, so my list might change over time and as I see more.
Also interesting to see Whiplash on so many lists (and so high on my own); I think maybe that one will last...
2010 - Toy Story 3
2011 - Kumare
2012 - The Avengers
2013 - Fruitvale Station
2014 - Whiplash
2015 - Room
2016 - The Founder
2017 - Coco
2018 - Bohemian Rhapsody
2019 - Marriage Story
1) Toy Story 3
2) The Avengers
3) Whiplash
4) Marriage Story
5) Coco
6) The Social Network
7) Guardians of the Galaxy
8) Tangled
9) Black Swan
10) The Irishman
Edited to add: I'm haunted with having placed The Irishman at #10. It was a fine film, a good film, I enjoyed it. But that's about it. I didn't love it. Any of the others mentioned, like Room or Bohemian Rhapsody could easily be slotted there instead, or any number of other movies, like The Artist or The Favourite. Lots of technically sound, entertaining cinema that I will never recommend to anyone else and never watch again.
Honestly, my top ten list should cut off at about #8, and the movies that I really love don't start until #5. Here's hoping that I find more in the 2020s!
