I mean, at 22 what other decades ould you have "really got into" film? lol but I understand the sentiment. I don't even watch movies, I've only been to the theater maybe 5 times in my whole life but I just enjoy this channel
The OG Panel on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve...It’s like they’re part of the family I get to see on special holidays! 💕 Thank you so much for working hard to get these pre-tapes completed.
'Social Network' was a generation defining movie. Don't care how far it was historically accurate but it was a well-made movie that speaks to a generation.
I really really love you all on SJU, but the level of excitement I get when I see a episode with just the A-team is really something, and a lovely Christmas gift! (we celebrate on the 24th in Sweden😉) Thank you for this year you amazing extended family of mine that don’t even know me! It’s been great having you around to lift me up whenever I’ve felt down! 🥰❤️
Seeing how Mexican Christmas is Christmas Eve, this is the best Christmas present! My family went abroad this year and I wasn’t able to join them, so thank you for being my company today! Happy holidays, everyone!
Thats cool, i didn't know that, im Irish, Christmas is the morning, then at lunch everyone drinks all day till they get drunk and fall asleep, stereotypes right? Happy Mexican Christmas 👍⛄❄️

I have one little nitpick - maybe you should've put a text or a small poster of the current movie youre talking about. Cause if someone decides to fast forward or rewind to some moment, they won't know what movie you're talking about.
Totally understand. We put posters of the movie up when it’s mentioned first but outside that the convo flows however Roth feels and these aren’t “edited” in post. We mean it to be free-flowing otherwise I’d put in timestamps!
Agree with most of the choices, disagree with others. But the highlight of this video is Roth off the chain. It always makes for much better videos when she is just having fun.
I love you, guys! You must have worked so hard to make all this awesome content (sorry, Dan), we are grateful! Also, this is the best table. Also, ROOOOTH 😊❤️
Other movies 2010: Let Me In, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, The Town, and Shutter Island Other movies 2011: Children Who Chase Lost Voices, 50/50, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
I started becoming really interested in films and television shows as a teenager (between the ages of fourteen to sixteen) and this was mostly because of Screen Junkies. Since I was born in 2000, this recap of the past decade has been helping me find some incredible movies that I have missed.
Agree hardcore on Inception, Black Swan, True Grit, The Social Network and the Raid: Redemption, but I have to say I think 2011 was a much better year for movies than you maybe remember. Drive is still my favorite, but other stand-outs IMO include: A Separation, Take Shelter, We Need to Talk About Kevin, 50/50 and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, which is the movie that reinvigorated the franchise. I just remember 2011 being for me the first year where I really started to take notice of the full scope of the current film landscape beyond just mainstream blockbusters and big Oscar movies.
Yay! I love seeing the OG panel talking the best movies of 2010 & 2011! Cannot wait for the other four parts. SJUs where they’re just talking movies are my favorite SJUs (not counting the ones that are just beautiful chaos).
@@fandomentertainment This is emerging as my favorite "series" Screen Junkies/Fandom has done so far. 5 one hour panels about the best movies of the decade. Thank you guys for that , you are all amazing and I can't wait to watch and rewatch them all
Via Scott Mendelson of Forbes: Only 3 Hollywood films ... just THREE live action films ... that are completely, in every way, original; made over $500 million at worldwide BoxOffice in this entire decade! 1: Inception. $825 million worldwide. 2: Interstellar. $677 million worldwide. 3: Gravity. $715 million worldwide. If there is a 4th that’d be Dunkirk... $526 million worldwide. This makes 3/4 biggest completely original blockbusters in the entire decade ... come from 1 guy. That’s is the essence of what makes Nolan so unique & special. Nobody is operating at his level. Also next decade is beginning with his Tenet.
I liked Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (2011). Well done parody/satire/inversion of classic horror tropes. And I'm an Alan Tudyk fan so that's a bonus. But I don't see a lot of movies so I'm not shocked there were enough better movies to bump it off the list for the SJU crew. I'm not a fan of horror movies in general, though; seeing characters act irrationally out of fear and get themselves killed, or get killed for no reason, doesn't do much for me. A few comments have mentioned Scott Pilgrim; I'm on board for that. So much style, and worth a rewatch just to look at what Young Neil is doing in the background of every scene he's in.
To be fair, that third one IS the best of the five, and then Bumblebee as a soft reboot is second-best. But the first and second Transformers (I HAAAATE the second TF far more than #4 and 5) sure didn't do the franchise any favours as lead-ups.
I loved Inception when it came out in 2010 and still do ten years later. Christopher Nolan is actually my favourite director and my favourite movie of his is Memento. Screen Junkies is what actually introduced me to this movie. Someone mentioned it once on SJU...I think it might have been Joe!
I’m gonna make this simple. Black Swan and Drive for 2010 and 2011, respectively. Both aged very well - especially Drive, which is uber rewatchable, and has an addicting score/soundtrack.
I do think Colin Firth's performance in The King's Speech was worthy of all of the accolades he received. From the accent to the stammer to his body language throughout, he is doing fantastic work. The scene that sticks out to me is the one where he is opening up to Lionel about the abuse he experienced as a kid and intermittently singing to combat the stammer, and it's just heartbreaking. I don't disagree with Dan that it falls into Oscar-bait territory, but I do think Colin Firth showed up to work.
Good point, this is missing from their bests. There aren't that many big screen animated films with THAT much heart and genuine...everything. I love it. I can't put it into words right now. The sequels are nice, but it's a case of diminishing returns.
@@Kris_AB I'd actually throw HTTYD 2 right up there with the first one. Loved _Hidden World_ too; it's got its problems, but my God it stuck the landing, predictable as it was.
Why did everybody go "meh" with "The Help"? Emma Stone, Jessica Chastain, Octavia Spencer, Bryce Dallas Howard, Viola Davis, they were all great in that movie, and it was fun and compelling.
I recently started putting together a list of my favourite films of the past decade and there’s a lot of overlap here for me, particularly the first movie I put on my list from 2010 was Winter’s Bone. I’m loving this list so far. (I’m about halfway through.) 2011 was pretty sparse for me, so I’m psyched to get to that part of their list in case there’s anything there I didn’t see yet.
I was just thinking Dragon Tattoo would be on my list. I was enthralled during that whole movie. It also gave me probably the first nightmare I had had in about 20 years.
Yes! I'd thought of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo during this discussion but wondered if it wasn't made at a later date. It was overlooked by this great panel. It's mention would have prompted a great discussion.
The Social Network is the masterclass in writing and directing, for every screenwriter out there The Social Network teaches you how to write a coming of age story, courtroom drama, teen angst, powerful dialogues, corporate greed and so much more.
2010 is a good year for movies with movies becoming classics like Inception, The Social Network, and Scott Pilgrim and fantastic animated films like How to Train Your Dragon, Tangled, Megamind, and Toy Story 3. 2011 is an underwhelming year for movies but did have underrated films Warrior, Super 8, and Rango. But I have to say both years had a fair share of stinkers like The Last Airbender, Jack Black’s Gulliver’s Travels, Sex and The City 2, The Sorcerers Apprentice, Little Fockers, A Nightmare on Elm Street (remake), Twilight 3, Jonah Hex, Clash of The Titans, Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, Valentines Day, Percy Jackson, and Grown Ups, with the latter having Green Lantern, Jack and Jill, The Hangover Part 2, The Smurfs, Cars 2 (Pixar at their worst), Arthur, Mars Needs Moms, Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Bayformers 3 that better then 2 but still pretty bad, Cowboy and Aliens, Jason’s Momoa’s Conan the Barbarian reboot, Apollo 18, and Alvin and The Chipmucks 3.
I went into Hugo totally knowing nothing... honestly what a lovely film. I don't remember what Ghibli movies came out in these two years but hey whatever they are they're probably fantastic
2010-Kick Ass, True Grit , The Town, The Ghost Writer, Machete, Animal Kingdom, Four Lions, Trollhunter, Monsters, Tucker and Dale vs Evil 2011-Rise of Planet of the Apes, Paul, Ides of March, Red State, The Raid, Black Dynamite, The Guard.
Right? Some of the choices on this list (namely Bridesmaids and Fast Five), and how desperate they were make it clear that they do not like Lars von Trier before discussing one of his best films made me lose a bit of respect for their opinions on film.
Dan, with all due respect, Lars von Trier is one of the best film directors that ever lived, an absolutely fearless and magnificient artist, you as a film critic should maybe know that... Idiotene, Dancer in the Dark, Breaking the Waves, Dogville etc.
2010: Black Swan, Scott Pilgrim, Kick Ass, Inception, Social Network, Easy A, True Grit, Book Of Eli 2011: Moneyball, Hugo, Thor, The Artist, Tree of Life, We Need To Talk About Kevin, Take Shelter, 50/50, Ghost Protocol, Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Some wrong information regarding dates: Crazy Heart is 2009 movie so it came out before True Grit. IMDb lists "Cabin in the Woods" as 2011 movie because it was first screened at some festival in late 2011, but it's actually a 2012 movie
Christopher Nolan is probably my favorite director followed closely by Quentin Tarantino and Wes Anderson. Martin Scorsese is up there. The Russo Brothers/Kevin Feige (he's the real genius) are up there. There's plenty more, too.
Deathly Hollows definitely should be on there (thank you Dan for mentioning it). While it wasn't an "oscar" movie, though may have won something. It was building for seven movies and books. It actually does a really good payoff by acknowledging the previous movies and story arcs. Neville get's his badass moment as does Molly. And the movie is actually a good conclusion to the series.
