21 00:00:45.530 --> 00:00:47.200 Some people might give 2011 22 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.300 to "The Help" or "The Tree of Life." 23 00:00:49.300 --> 00:00:52.100 While they were great movies, "Drive" starring Ryan Gosling 24 00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:54.700 was an unexpectedly violent thrill ride. 25 00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:56.817 Both modern and nostalgic in its approach, 26 00:00:56.817 --> 00:00:59.440 "Drive" remains an underrated movie. 27 00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:02.640 2012's best film was "Django Unchained." 28 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.300 While "The Avengers" was groundbreaking as crossover film, 29 00:01:05.300 --> 00:01:07.587 and "Life of Pi" was a visual masterpiece, 30 00:01:07.587 --> 00:01:09.890 "Django Unchained" featured Quentin Tarantino 31 00:01:09.890 --> 00:01:11.960 returning at the top of his game. 32 00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:14.450 While 2013 had its share of excellent films, 33 00:01:14.450 --> 00:01:16.300 like "American Hustle" or "Gravity," 34 00:01:16.300 --> 00:01:18.970 nothing comes even close to being as powerful 35 00:01:18.970 --> 00:01:20.680 as "12 Years a Slave." 36 00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.530 2014 is almost a toss up 37 00:01:22.530 --> 00:01:24.310 between "Nightcrawler" and "Whiplash," 38 00:01:24.310 --> 00:01:26.850 but "Whiplash" edges out the win just barely 39 00:01:26.850 --> 00:01:29.830 thanks to JK Simmons' riveting performance. 40 00:01:29.830 --> 00:01:32.280 2015 was a year that Mad Max and Star Wars 41 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.087 both returned in a big way. 42 00:01:34.087 --> 00:01:36.330 "The Revenant" earned Leonardo DiCaprio the awards 43 00:01:36.330 --> 00:01:37.950 which had always eluded him. 44 00:01:37.950 --> 00:01:39.680 But Ridley Scott's film "The Martian" 45 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.430 struck the best balance, being both smart and funny, 46 00:01:42.430 --> 00:01:45.060 and utilizing Matt Damon's likability. 47 00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:46.970 2016 goes to "La La Land." 48 00:01:46.970 --> 00:01:50.700 Anyone who doesn't love "La La Land" is just wrong. 49 00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:52.850 2017 goes to "Baby Driver." 50 00:01:52.850 --> 00:01:53.683 It's been a long time 51 00:01:53.683 --> 00:01:56.410 since a movie this stylish and this cool has come along, 52 00:01:56.410 --> 00:01:57.670 but Edgar Wright's thrill ride 53 00:01:57.670 --> 00:02:00.490 is like a 90 minute music video shootout. 54 00:02:00.490 --> 00:02:02.870 So many great movies came out in 2018. 55 00:02:02.870 --> 00:02:04.950 From "Black Panther" to "A Quiet Place." 56 00:02:04.950 --> 00:02:07.780 And while everyone ranted and raved about "A Star is Born," 57 00:02:07.780 --> 00:02:10.300 Bo Burnham was low key behind "Eighth Grade," 58 00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:13.370 one of the most awkwardly coming-of-age pics ever made. 59 00:02:13.370 --> 00:02:16.050 Finally, 2019 isn't over yet, but it's safe to say 60 00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:17.900 that Quentin Tarantino took it again 61 00:02:17.900 --> 00:02:19.760 with "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." 62 00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:21.360 While "The Irishman" is fantastic, 63 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.190 the de-aging of the stars was often distracting, 64 00:02:24.190 --> 00:02:26.970 but Tarantino's love letter to the golden age of Hollywood 65 00:02:26.970 --> 00:02:28.170 is a powerful message 66 00:02:28.170 --> 00:02:31.030 about how cinema can make life a little bit better. 67 00:02:31.030 --> 00:02:33.100 There they are, the best movies of the past decade. 68 00:02:33.100 --> 00:02:35.860 line:15% You might disagree, and if you do, tweet me @ChrisKillian 69 00:02:35.860 --> 00:02:38.280 line:15% or tell me in the comments what your favorite movies were. 70 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:39.870 line:15% Good luck out there in the 2020s, 71 00:02:39.870 --> 00:02:41.154 and thanks for watching! 72 00:02:41.154 --> 00:02:43.821 (melodic music)
