best movies of all time we’ve chosen 10
movies from the first half of the 2010s
based on their iconic status critical
acclaim box office success and
watchability
and just so you know we’re not

and in the few years since their release
we’ve changed our opinions on some films
number 10 12 years a slave
may we trouble you for a moment of your
time to confess sir
this may be another retelling of an
austere and inhumane time in history but
it was also considered one of the
greatest films of 2013 cheers Cheers
Jews based on a true story twelve years
a slave
follows Solomon Northup after he is
ripped away from his life as a free
black man in New York and malevolently
farmed around as a slave
giving us a first-hand look into just
how brutal slave owners were and the
frailty of human dignity the passion
felt by director Steve McQueen was
relayed into such realistic on-screen
toil here that the historical drama was
a box-office hit and earned three Oscars
number nine zero dark thirty
this was the story so many were eager to
hear put to the big screen for all to
see this war flick is set following the
events of September 11th a time during
which the u.s. is out to capture
al-qaeda leader Osama bin Laden headed
up by CIA interrogation expert Maya a
group of Navy SEALs is convinced to
pursue a lead to bin Laden’s whereabouts
and we get to experience every tactical
maneuver along the way will you lie to
me I hurt you we also get a
behind-the-scenes look at how bin Laden
moved about and just how difficult it
was for the u.s. to track him awesome
was a friend of Rousey insider you guys
met and I ran back in the 90s with five
Oscar nods and one win this thrilling
action movie also garnered rave reviews
number eight
this social network
rather left
everyone knows of the social network but
how exactly did it come about you know
you really don’t need a forensics team
to get to the bottom of this if you guys
were the inventors of Facebook invented
Facebook following the now legendary
creator of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg this
drama shows us how he transformed from
university students to social media
mogul relationship status interested and
this is what drives life in college are
you having sex or aren’t you it’s why
people take certain classes and sit
where they sit beginning with just how
socially awkward Zuckerberg was and the
legal action he faced with Facebook the
social network is expertly executed by
director David Fincher with a class
performances by Jesse Eisenberg Justin
Timberlake and Andrew Garfield how old
are they alright I’ve written though
know much about you a must see even if
you’re not on Facebook
number seven How to Train Your Dragon
Astrid toothless toothless Astrid in
this mythical Viking world dragons are
the pests of the land so why would you
ever want one as a pet well for a
budding dragon slayer hiccup it seems to
make sense with Vikings everywhere
believing dragons are the enemy the team
becomes the first guy ever to be able to
train one
three North Fork while building a
relationship with the Dragon which he
calls toothless we see him try to
convince the people in his village that
there is more to dragons than merely
sharp teeth and a tail never engaged
this dragon your only chance hide and
pray does not find you his tail was so
successful that it spawned an equally
successful sequel as well as other
related multimedia number six hurt yes

about conventional relationships set
sometime in the future this sci-fi
rom-com sees Theodore as a heartbroken
outcast until he finds solace in a new
woman Samantha who just so happens to be
an artificial intelligence system you’ve
been through a lot lately he wants to
party yourself her ultimately strips
back the expression of love and makes us
look at it in its rawest emotional form
it was more complicated what is it just
about understanding needs and feelings
or simply about lending an ear every
once in a while
and what is happiness anyway what do you
love most about Samantha

way you die boy
if you ever had any doubts about Quentin
Tarantino’s directorial brilliance at

Django Unchained and all will be
dispelled I couldn’t resist
merging Tarantino’s no-nonsense
ultraviolence with Western Flair this
Western follows vengeful and soon-to-be
freed man Django as he searches for his
enslaved wife I found my way frankly
I’ve never given anybody their freedom
before with sharp humorous dialogue and
blood spattering encounters Tarantino
dominates all the cliches of the Wild
West and introduces some slick new ones
along the way to the man with the
exceptional beard and his unexceptional
and what better way to do that than with
an all-star cast
number four the Avengers I’m in the
