2010s Cinema

These aren’t just fleeting favorites; they’re the stories and visions that have lingered, influencing cinema and culture far beyond their release.
The decade gifted us with bold, unforgettable films like Parasite, Moonlight, The Social Network, and Mad Max: Fury Road. Each of these pushed boundaries in storytelling, style, or social commentary, defining what cinema could be in the 2010s and sparking conversations that still resonate today.
Lists like this do more than recommend—they open a window into the world as it was, reflecting the hopes, fears, and changes of the time. They’re also a chance to catch overlooked gems and revisit films that might’ve slipped under the radar amid the noise.
