🎥 Inception (2010) — The Decade's Most Discussed Film

Inception (2010), written and directed by Christopher Nolan, grossed $836M worldwide against an $160M budget and generated the most sustained public intellectual discussion of any film since 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). The film follows Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) — a thief who specialises in entering people's dreams and stealing their subconscious secrets — on a mission to plant an idea rather than steal one. The spinning top in the final frame is the most debated single image in 21st-century cinema: did it wobble? Is Cobb in a dream? The BWAAAAMP sound, parodied in trailers for the next decade, is the most recognisable movie sound of the 2010s.

Interstellar (2014) — The Most Emotionally Devastating Sci-Fi Film

Interstellar (2014), directed by Christopher Nolan with a screenplay by Nolan and his brother Jonathan, received 74/100 on Metacritic and has been reassessed as one of the finest science fiction films of the decade in the years since its release. Matthew McConaughey's Cooper leaves Earth on a wormhole mission as his daughter Murph watches from the driveway; the film's central emotional engine — the time dilation that ages everyone Coop loves while he travels near black holes — produces the "stay" sequence (Cooper watching 23 years of video messages from his children) as the most devastating single scene in any Nolan film. Hans Zimmer's score, performed on a pipe organ, is the finest film score of the decade.

Joker (2019) — The Billion-Dollar R-Rated Film

Joker (2019), directed by Todd Phillips and starring Joaquin Phoenix, won the Venice Golden Lion, received 68/100 on Metacritic and grossed $1.079 billion worldwide — the highest-grossing R-rated film in cinema history. Phoenix's Arthur Fleck — a failed comedian in a collapsing society whose mental illness is untreated and whose social humiliation is constant — is the most committed physical and psychological performance of the decade. The film's controversial politics — whether it sympathised with or examined its protagonist's violence — generated the most significant mainstream debate about a film's social responsibility since A Clockwork Orange.

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) — Scorsese's Most Excessive Film

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio as real-life fraudster Jordan Belfort, was nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture and grossed $392M worldwide. The film is Scorsese's most deliberately provocative: a three-hour black comedy that refuses to condemn its protagonist, that ends with the audience applauding at a wealth seminar alongside the people Jordan Belfort is about to defraud, implicating them in the cycle of aspiration and exploitation. Jonah Hill's Donnie Azoff is the finest comic supporting performance in any Scorsese film.
