I think the top 5 will look like:

1. The Social Network
2. Boyhood
3. Argo
4. 12 Years a Slave
5. Zero Dark Thirty

 

[Delta Assault]

Edge of Tomorrow a top 100 film?

Lol no.

In a list of top 100 movies of all time, I could understand your skepticism. But from the last 5 years? It makes a lot of sense.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

What is this weird tradition of spoilering the list? I don't get it.

Also - while I love the AV Club, they're way more of a go-to for TV criticism than films, anymore. As someone already pointed out - the good stuff picked up and bailed to the Dissolve and other outlets awhile ago.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I see they're getting the foreign flicks out of the way early so they can make the top 25 all Hollywood films.

 

[ATastyMuffin]

Whiplash top 10? Please?

 

[TheKaeptain]

Beginners was better than any film nominated for best picture last year.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

Beginners was better than any film nominated for best picture last year.

I love Beginners. Glad it made a list if anything.

 

[FTF]

Drive top 25? I love that movie but I know how polarizing it is.

I'd put Django top 10 or 20 as well.

TSN is a technical marvel but an absolute bore. 12YAS is great. The rest here are completely negligible.

 

[Raptor]

Gravity is Top 10 material easy.

LIst is garbage.

 

[rude]

Gravity is trash. Beautifully directed trash tho

 

[Subpar Spatula]

I wonder where Guardians of the Galaxy will be. The salt will be real.

 

[schlongdog]

I wonder where Guardians of the Galaxy will be. The salt will be real.

Sitting at No.1 of the 100 Overated films of the decade list

 

[FTF]

I wonder where Guardians of the Galaxy will be. The salt will be real.

No, that will be for where The Artist and A King's Speech land. (I think they're pretty good to decent movies but overrated and not BP worthy at all)

 

[kmfdmpig]

I liked Haywire a fair amount, but putting it on a top 100 list for a five year span seems pretty questionable. If a less well regarded director made the same exact film it would not be on the list.

 

[Delta Assault]

Gravity is Top 10 material easy.

LIst is garbage.

All Is Lost did it better.

 

[Floridian]

Toy Story 3 is way too high

 

[bearythebear]

Y'all are crazy. Haywire is a great movie.

 

[Slurmer]

Guys I am outraged. Haywire should be AT MINIMUM #47 on the list

 

[FourMyle]

TSN is a technical marvel but an absolute bore. 12YAS is great. The rest here are completely negligible.

.

TSN specially at #1 is lol worthy

 

[Tedesco!]

I can take solace in the fact that there is four years and change for Room 237 to get knocked off this list. Such a shit movie.

 

[PinkCrayon]

Skyfall ahaha

 

[Floridian]

I wonder where Guardians of the Galaxy will be. The salt will be real.

lol if it's anywhere near the top 20

 

[Bobby Roberts]

lol if it's anywhere near the top 20

So far the only Marvel movie on the list is Avengers at #91.

 

[FTF]

So far the only Marvel movie on the list is Avengers at #91.

Can't wait for the fallout when TDKR comes in at #45.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Drive top 25? I love that movie but I know how polarizing it is.

I'd put Django top 10 or 20 as well.

If Drive makes top 20 I will call this the best list ever.

All Is Lost did it better.

Fuck yeah it did.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Can't wait for the fallout when TDKR comes in at #45.

I can see Winter Soldier making the top 50. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the only other Marvel Studios film to make it. Maybe Guardians.

 

[Speevy]

This decade has some work to do.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

If Drive makes top 20 I will call this the best list ever.

I bet it will.

Hell, this is now the game for the rest of the thread - based on what the bottom 50 looks like, try to guess what the AV Club sewing circle will have chosen for the top 10 films of this decade (so far)

 

[Jigorath]

TSN is a technical marvel but an absolute bore. 12YAS is great. The rest here are completely negligible.

The Social Network is Fincher and Sorkin at the top of their games. A straight up masterpiece.

 

[Salsa]

If Drive makes top 20 I will call this the best list ever.

really?

everyone and their mother loves Drive

it's a great film but people talking of it as some small-ish unknown thing are weird

of course it'll be there, and it wont automatically make the list good; every list will have it

 

[theusedversion]

Disappointing to me to see Toy Story 3 on there. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

 

[rude]

Personal favorite films of the decade so far are

Mr. Turner
A Royal Affair
The Skin I Live In
A Separation
Uncle Boonmee
Holy Motors
Amour

 

[delta25]

Looper is about the only film on that list that I really like.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Mr. Turner
A Royal Affair
The Skin I Live In
A Separation
Uncle Boonmee
Holy Motors
Amour

I'm betting this makes their top 10, too.

 

[Salsa]

yeah holy motors should be there

 

[Skux]

Oh man, GAF's about to lose its shit over a list isn't it?

Begun, the list wars have.

 

[rekameohs]

I don't even have a clue what'll be #1. I'd pick Nebraska or Birdman, but I bet it'll be something else. Hopefully Nebraska even makes the list; loved that film.

 

[Filthy Casual]

I never knew the social network was so highly thought of, I remember watching and enjoying the movie but it didn't strike me as anything special.

 

[EVO]

Birdman is my favourite so far.

 

[bomb]

Wolf of Wall Street should be top 10.


imo...

 

[toastyToast]

Good to know Black Dynamite is being saved for the top 50

 

[plasmawave]

53: Room 237
















wut

Hey man, if you pause the movie at the right moment it looks like the hotel manager is having a boner.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Films I'm betting will show up in their top 20 somewhere.

Social Network
Tree of Life
Whiplash
The Master
Let the Right One In
Zero Dark Thirty
Grand Budapest
Django Unchained
Four Lions
Her
Nebraska
Birdman
Moon
In the Loop
Wolf of Wall Street
Drive
Holy Motors

 

[ryseing]

Hopefully either The Avengers or Interstellar are #1. Probably the best movies I've ever seen.

You need to see more movies. Or you're trolling.

 

[curlyfriski]

Man I have no idea who any of these people who write for the AV club are anymore.

 

[HK-47]

Films I'm betting will show up in their top 20 somewhere.

Social Network
Tree of Life
Whiplash
The Master
Let the Right One In
Zero Dark Thirty
Grand Budapest
Django Unchained
Four Lions
Her
Nebraska
Birdman
Moon
In the Loop
Wolf of Wall Street
Drive
Holy Motors

No Amour?

 

[Bobby Roberts]

No Amour?

Throw it on the pile! I think there's like room for 3 more.

 

[FTF]

Films I'm betting will show up in their top 20 somewhere.

Social Network
Tree of Life
Whiplash
The Master
Let the Right One In
Zero Dark Thirty
Grand Budapest
Django Unchained
Four Lions
Her
Nebraska
Birdman
Moon
In the Loop
Wolf of Wall Street
Drive
Holy Motors

That's a very good list...but LTROI and Moon were '08 and '09. Both great movies though.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Shit. Fucking memory. Is In the Loop 2010? Is that when it made it to America?

Well now there's room for a couple more
