Movies Anyone make the case why were American movies better in the 10s compared to the naughties or the 90s

[Nizam al-Mulk]

I understand it is subjective but i would love to see someone steelman the 10s as a movie decade.

The really weren't. Like not by any stretch. Simple as.

The Great Train Robbery was quite the masterpiece, no doubt about it

There was actually quite a bit of good movies in the 10s.

The revenant,Dredd,Upgrade, Her, Interstellar, The Raid, Under the skin, The Rover, The Witch, Place Beyond the Pines, Chronicle, The Nice Guys, The Wailing, etc.

I'm sure there are a few I'm forgetting. Ex machina and a few other of those a24 or blum horrors. Invisible man, Oculus, it comes at night etc. I thought kevin smiths 'Tusks' was super underrated. Backcountry is a great Bear as villain film sorta similar to the edge.

Had some of the best MCU films up until and including endgame.

Had Mission Impossible creeping through with Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation, and Fallout.

The Lobster, killing of a sacred deer, the favourite are all good Lathimos films.

swiss army man is a very good film made by the guys who directed Everything everywhere all at once. I actually think it is better.


That's about all I can think of at the moment but there are more for sure. There were definitely some great movies in the 10s if you can wade past the bullshit.

90s movies wipe the floor with 2010s. Not remotely close.

The 10s had some great comedies depending on your taste. Might be superior to the 1990s. Yes the 90's had Sander, Mike Myers and Chris Farley at their best, but:



Super Troopers




Superbad




The Hangover




Anchorman




Shaun of the Dead




The 40-Year-Old Virgin




Step Brothers




Hot Fuzz




Old School




Tropic Thunder

All of these movies took place in the 00s not the 90s lol

And neither one of these films are superior than the best of the 90s films imo

The Raid franchise is not American.

I know they didn't take place in the 90's, that's what I said

By the 10's does that mean 2010 - 2020? I thought the 10's would be the 00 - 10

2010 to 2020 is indefensible compared to the 90s so maybe that's why I thought it was the 00's TS meant

Right my bad, got confused for a second

If Hollywood is the titanic the 10s are the part right before they hit the iceberg

 

[Nizam al-Mulk]

Hell no

So why would you assume they were American movies?

 

[revoltub]

Of course edge of tomorrow. How could I forget that one.

You mean in terms of box office or in other ways?
