I have struggled for months on what structure to use and what films to choose for this list. I have decided to do it by choosing a favourite film from each individual year of the decade, as opposed to “the 10 best of the decade”.
This is a personal list and I am sure many will disagree, but I would love to hear what films everyone else would have on their list.
