your top 5 movies of the past decade?

[GetLucky]

Definites:
The Dark Knight (entertaining with very clever commentary on politics and the balance of life. Ledger with an all-time-great performance.)
Blade Runner: 2049 (beautiful and deep movie. Every note and stunning image makes you feel something; nothing is wasted.)
Avatar (groundbreaking filmography, everyone and their mother watched it)
The Big Short (should be required watch for every high school student)

Maybes
Get Out (piercing social commentary, incredibly well done in every area)
IT (I never saw it, but I heard rave reviews from everyone who watched it)
Black Panther (not my favorite superhero movie but incredible cultural significance)
Guardians of the Galaxy (IMO the best Marvel movie and the first movie of its kind)
The Social Network (never seen it in full but has the best trailer I've ever seen. I feel like it will define our generation)

I love animation, I might use your list soon. Two movies I enjoyed watching recently were Ernest & Celestine  and The Boy And The World.

@GetLucky

I was wondering when would someone mention Avatar. I think it has lost some of its initial fame because it relied a lot on technical innovation to impress and now it simply doesn't look so impressive anymore.

The Social Network is very witty and I've been wanting to rewatch it for some time for its dialogues. I remember being concerned about the factual inaccuracies when I watched and a quick look at wiki confirmed it remains an issue today. Tell me what you think once you are done watching it.

I forgot about IT. Great choice. TP.

Really creepy story. Me, my wife, and my sister-in-law bought this movie to watch through DirecTV once it was available, so it was in my DirecTV list to watch at any time. Fast forward a couple of weeks after we bought it to a night when the Celtics were out on the West Coast playing a really late game. I fell asleep on the couch for an hour or so after the game, and the TV and satellite turned off after several hours of no activity. All of a sudden at 3:00 on the dot in the morning I get woken up to a red balloon floating on the tv with the movie IT starting all on its own. 

Talk about creepy! I still have no idea how that happened, but it freaked me out enough to move my big arse off the couch and into bed lol

The best:
Inception
Shutter Island
Interstellar
It Follows
Get Out

Just outside:
Gran Torino
Wolf of Wall Street
Room
Prisoners

I'm sure I've forgotten something.

Ah! How did I forget about Gran Torino, too?
