These movies have pushed boundaries by tackling complex themes, exploring new worlds, and challenging audiences to think deeply about the world around them. Some notable movies from this decade that will continue to be remembered and celebrated for years to come include The Social Network, The Wolf of Wall Street, Marvel’s The Avengers, Inception, Ex Machina, Whiplash, Interstellar, Parasite, Nightcrawler, and Her.
One of the standout films of the decade is The Social Network, a biographical drama that portrays Mark Zuckerberg’s creation of Facebook and his subsequent legal battles. Directed by David Fincher, the movie features a brilliant script, exceptional direction, and outstanding performances. Redditor Debinthedez believes the movie “captures a moment in time that most of us all remember” and notes that “we lived through it, you know it’s a recent thing that was so huge and still is.”
