Now that I've officially seen all of awards-bait and other noteworthy movies from 2015, the time has finally come to release the annual update of my favorite films of the decade. While there was a handful of films that I absolutely loved, the year of 2015 on the whole was the weakest of this decade so far by a pretty considerable margin. Here's hoping that 2016 will offer up more high quality projects(it hasn't through four and a half months) and get this mostly excellent six-year stretch of cinema back on track. Below you'll find my picks for the best of the 2010's up to this point in time on both a year-by-year and full decade basis. Hope you enjoy!
