Honorable Mentions I Wish I Had Room to Mention: So for those of you who aren’t waiting to hear about 13-hour Argentinian pictures and quiet musings on crises of faith, I present… The Best Popcorn Movies of the 2010s So – anticipating that my upcoming Best Movies of the 2010s list is not really going to have a lot of easily recommendable entries – I wanted to acknowledge the times when crowd-pleasers really did please me amongst the crowd. So much so that this list ended up with 35 whopping entries that I decided on.
And for one thing, I think if the 2010s haven’t necessarily proven to be an extraordinarily good decade for popcorn cinema, they have been so for action cinema which makes up the grand majority of popcorn cinema. They are a mainstay of the summer movie season, one of my favorite seasons of the movie year to both jump into the cinema to catch whatever is the big talking point AND to get a gauge on how I feel the movie year is progressing in my view* (and it is indeed a shame that 2020 now looks to be a year that will not have a popcorn movie season, if it happens to have a movie year at all).Īnyway, even despite my penchant for austere foreign art-films that have extremely limited releases and my general allergy to the overglut of superhero movies taking up filmgoing conversation, I do enjoy the pure spectacle and comfortable genre trappings of a good popcorn like any other. In the meantime, the popcorn movie? Everybody sees them. I hope this explanation will account for how low certain entries are on the list compared to when my 150 Best Movies of the 2010s List finally gets posted here. And I think, at least in this instance, it should be acknowledged that the ranking is based on the movies’ function as popcorn cinema rather than as cinema in and of itself, although that did have some factor. So shortly after shifting from parts of movies and their advertising to listing actual movies, now we have come to the lists where RANKINGS come into play. Oh ho, we have reached a true milestone here now.
