A decade in review

Everyone's doing 'decade in review' statistics or lists or overviews or what have you. I thought I'd join in the fun and tell you about my favorite movies that I watched in theater each year. This is, markedly, no quality assessment, so there's no need to tell me that the movies I picked aren't the best movies of their respective years by far. This is based solely on my own enjoyment.

Unfortunately, there is no way for me to track novels or shows, so sadly there will be none of that.

But movies. Let's do this!

2010: Megamind

Honorable mention to Buried, which is an intense thriller featuring Ryan Reynolds and only Ryan Reynolds. 

2011: X-Men: First Class

This year was a hard one, but considering how much I love this movie, there's really no contest.  

2012: Django Unchained

The other contenders this year are Cloud Atlas and Rise of the Guardians, both of which I like very much. Django won out because it's my favorite Tarantino in the end.

2013: Pacific Rim

There was no contest for this year. 

2014: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Honorable mention to Big Hero 6 and Gone Girl. 

2015: Mad Max Fury Road

Honorable mention to The Martian and The Force Awakens.

2016: Rogue One

This year also had Star Trek Beyond and Deadpool but since I didn't pick the Star Wars movie last year, I picked it now.

2017: The Shape of Water

Honorable mention to Wonder Woman and Thor: Ragnarok.

2018: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Honorable mention to Black Panther, Love, Simon, and Bohemian Rhapsody. 

2019: Captain Marvel

I realized while going through the movies that I've not been to the theater that much this year.


In review, I see it's very heavy on the superhero front and very few of these movies aren't action movies. What can I say, I know what I like. Although that might change in the future.

Happy new year to everyone! May the change you crave come to you!
