These aren't necessarily the movies I think are the best of the 2010s, they don't really match my movies of the year list, but are the ones I like the most and tend to rewatch.

Without a hint of irony, I believe The Social Network is the greatest movie of the 21st century (so far). It's a practically perfect piece of filmmaking which some people shun because "who cares about Facebook".

Do you mind explaining the high praise as a film, because I thought it was a well-made movie that didn't really leave an impression on me. Meanwhile I thought all of Villeneuve's films are brilliant (Enemy and Arrival less so, but still very good), along with Whiplash and other top films of the '10s

I have opinions about the modern tech giants, but Facebook as a platform doesn't mean anything to me either way, it wouldn't influence my judgment of the film's merits. I think I'll revisit the movie later this week to pick up on anything I missed earlier

It's a movie that fires on basically every cylinder. Fincher's slick and urgent direction, an absolutely watertight two hour script from Aaron Sorkin, a role that Jesse Eisenberg was born to play, a killer soundtrack from Reznor and Ross, and a genuinely fascinating story about a kid who bent the American dream around his finger. It doesn't matter if you like Facebook or Zuckerberg (I don't like either), it doesn't matter that it's not a grand epic, for me The Social Network is as close to perfect as a piece of filmmaking has been in the last 20 years. Citizen Kane is given its merits almost exclusively on the cinematography, and in that sense it was certainly more ground-breaking, but I sincerely believe that as a story of a man's rise to success at the expense of his humanity, The Social Network is the modern Citizen Kane. I watch it at least once a year and I must have seen the thing 20 times now.

Some might see this as silly hyperbole, it's just how I feel. I haven't seen a film from after the year 2000 that captives me as much.

It may not be my favorite decade for movies but it was a hell of a time for cinematography! So many beautifully shot movies. Hats off to the people who pulled these feats off..
