8.This is the End (2013): Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg enlisting some of their famous friends (Jay Baruchel, James Franco,Craig Robinson, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Emma Watson, Rihanna) to play exaggerated versions of themselves in a comedy set during the apocalypse led to something really special. A clever, twisted sense of humor, an abundance of quotable lines/memorable moments and a well-matched ensemble cast that was willing to poke fun at themselves made This is the End the funniest movie of the decade.
7.John Wick-Chapter 3: Parabellum (2019): What did John Wick do for the film industry? As far as I'm concerned, a whole hell of a lot. It proved that a property can organically turn into a franchise that becomes more and more successful with each subsequent entry during a decade where the theatrical experience was allegedly dying, revived the ailing career of Keanu Reeves, exposed the world to a pair of superb directors (Chad Stahelski, David Leitch) and made cleanly-edited, immaculately-choreographed action scenes cool again. As terrific as the first two films are, John Wick-Chapter 3: Parabellum brought the series to a whole new level simply by adding more humor and jaw-dropping marital arts to the stunning action sequences its become known for. While it remains unclear just how much its going to effect the landscape, this film and its predecessors have issued an open challenge for genre filmmakers to step their game up or risk getting buried by the Babayaga.
