I don't know why I don't like it more, in retrospect. I ought to prefer its lack of, shall we say, moral seriousness.

It's trying to be morally serious though, in a woefully misjudged way.

Dan S's list is a large part of the reason this was a good decade for cinema. Also Jafar Panahi, Corneliu Porumboiu, Amour Fou, A Quiet Passion, Play, Lav Diaz, Pablo Larrain. The focus on American men is understandable, the same as always, but I'm surprised how old the directors on most of those lists are. George Miller, Terence Malick, especially. But how many will claim Coen, PTA, Linklater, made their best works this decade? Ok, perhaps Linklater.
― Frederik B, Monday, 18 November 2019 20:19 (four years ago) link
generally thought PTA was shit til this decade

I don't understand that at all... He is still shit.
Punch-Drunk Love is good, though.

Good Time
Genuinely surprised this hasn't shown up on consensus lists, given its initial reception.
― temporarily embarrassed thousandaire (Eric H.), Monday, 18 November 2019 22:30 (four years ago) link
Mysteries of Lisbon, The Death of Louis XIV, and A Touch of Sin will be on mine, and Good Time struck me then as an actor showcase.

That and a soundtrack showcase.

and tut-tutting an AV Club list is classic Morbius. This ain't Film Comment -- if they can preach about Uncle Bonmee, they've done a service (though it's not my Apitchapong pick this decade).
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 18 November 2019 22:35 (four years ago) link
I thought I Hated PTA in the 2000s but Inherent Vice and Phantom Thread introduced the lighter touch that the enhanced interrogation technique called Punch Drunk Love couldn't fathom.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 18 November 2019 22:37 (four years ago) link
Fully intend to give Punch Drunk Love another chance despite it having what I'm pretty confident is the worst P.S. Hoffman performance ever.
― temporarily embarrassed thousandaire (Eric H.), Monday, 18 November 2019 22:39 (four years ago) link
I can't complain about too much of that AV Club list tbh, it has a lot of overlap with what would be in mine
― Simon H., Monday, 18 November 2019 22:40 (four years ago) link
Ppl I know who've seen both unanimously seem to prefer the new one over Good Time fwiw

tut-tutting, am I? you may have confused me with Uncle Pumblechook from Great Expectations.
Let me clarify: No matter what their outlet, anyone who writes that Her Smell is one of the 100 best films of the decade should have their hands cut off.

I had Aunt Bumblefuck from Hard Times in mind.

I'd have opted for Martin Chuzzlewit in Dead Pigeon on Beethoven Street.

2010 was also the year of Mysteries of Lisbon, Certified Copy, Poetry, Meek’s Cutoff, White Material, My Joy, Nostalgia for the Light, Carlos, Everyone Else, Mother. I don't think all of them had showings in the US that year though

what is this "VVitch" thing? is that how the title of the Eggers film is spelled?

Contemplating my own year-end list possibilities, I don't think any film has meant as much to me this year as the "Co-Op" episode of Documentary Now.
