2. Mad Max Fury Road
3. Baby Driver
4. Moana
5. True Grit
6. The Adventures of Tintin
7. Spider-Man Into the Spider Verse
8. Gravity
9. Amazing Grace
10. Inception

Top 10 Major Films I Haven't Seen Yet That Moots My Previous List
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Booksmart
Roma
The Lobster
Get Out
Moonlight
Grand Budapest Hotel
The Act of Killing
The Master
Tree of Life

Happy to see some Inside Out love, possibly my fave Pixar. Would put it right up there with Spiderverse for my favorite animations this decade.

I just have them alphabetically for now, and I have 14 of them:

Arrival
Baby Driver
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Edge of Tomorrow
Inception
Mad Max: Fury Road
Moonrise Kingdom
Mud
Seven Psychopaths
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
St. Vincent
The Grand Budapest Hotel
The Nice Guys
Us

I thought it would be cool to have a list that actually included at least one film from each year, but 2011 eludes me. I saw 47 films that year (that I can recall), and Captain America: The First Avenger is my favorite of them, and it doesn't compare with the films above for me.

Also, like Pete, I have a long list of films that I hope to see, and any of them could upset this list.

Wait a minute. Didn't you make fun of me for liking the original Frozen? Hmmmm.

For sure I was annoyed by the music, which is far less annoying now that everybody in the house has lost interest in singing it round the clock. Now they sing the song about the coconut nut.
