The list you're about to read, like every other one you're about to read in the coming weeks and months, is a condensed version of a far longer list, one full of films just as exceptional as the 100 to follow here. That's just part of the list-making game. But we'd like to think that it also captures the spectrum of moviegoing experiences from the decade that was, the genre-bending experiments and bold new voices and revelatory career peaks that accompanied film's transition into cinematic universes and dedicated repertory theaters and the press of a button on your remote.
We have a lot more to say about what we'll call the 100 best films of the 2010s, as you're about to see, so let's get started.
Note : The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence is counted as one entry.
