Use whatever criteria you want.
Personally I'm going with the movies that I found the most rewatchable. Yes, I know I have awful taste.
Django Unchained
The Dark Knight Rises
Rogue One
The Hobbit Trilogy
Warcraft

Think the quality of films this decade has been generally very poor, so I don't watch many as a result. Of the ones I have seen and enjoyed though:
Inception (2010)
Zero Dark Thirty (2012)
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Nightcrawler (2014)
Sicario (2015)
Arrival (2016)
13 Hours (2016)
The King (2019)
Yes, I included a Michael Bay film in the list :)

Woke tier / Shit bucket
Star Wars (the Mandalorian show is decent (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH4VOiMzZ10) and I have been watching it. I wouldn't put the show in this category.)
James Bond.
Cape Shit comic films.

Of the Decade?
For me they have been:
The Best Offer (2013) --- Can only say it in French > Formidable!
Hereditary (2018) --- Had several members in my family that had pictures like the ones in the album, made me feel queasy
A Ghost Story (2017) - A surreal trip into loneliness from start to finish
Berberian Sound Studio (2012) - The Italian Cursing/Screaming scene and the no sound scene make the movie! Absolutely mesmerizing!
Insidious (2011) - The whole world/saga is quite good and entertaining, but the first one has a special spot in my heart.
A Dark Song (2016) - Loved the ending
Borgman (2013) - A trip and a journey
Boys in the Trees (2016) So peaceful and eerie
Dark Skies (2013) - :cool:
Edge of Tomorrow (2014) Can see it every single time its on Tv
Evil Dead (2013) For a remake it took some interesting liberties
The Neon Demon (2016) - Something to put on the big screen and let it run in the background
The Witch (2015 )- Dost thou want to live deliciously?
The Devils Candy (2015) nom nom nom
The Invitation (2015) - Know people that would invite me to something like that
The Ritual (2017) - An extremely interesting idea trapped in classics tropes, very good watch
Aterrados (2017) One very solid Argentinian horror movie
----
Interesting mentions:
More commercial ones like Mother! (2017) John Wick, LOTR (loved them and have several fan edits) The Hobbit ,but only fan edits, original trilogy is bloated with the most absurd of things ever conceived by a board of directors that just wanted to replicate LOTR with more CGI.
Do yourself a favour and only watch the Hobbit via fan edits like The Tolkien Edit (https://tolkieneditor.wordpress.com/) ...
----------
Personally I have noticed a severe drop in quality of US movies the past years though. Have found refuge in European and Latinamerican Cinema, specially French.
For some reason Hollywood seems to be producing a lot of movies with atrocious scripts aimed mostly at the Chinese Market, which are very bad.
As a foreigner when I begin hearing english dialogues that can be easily transcribed and a lot of strange pace one liners like the ones in Gemini Man I know the movie is going to be very very bad for me.
Indy filmmakers are my only salvation and the odd Netflix movie and I have to confess that I am a DC fan, not a Marvel one ... so I am cast out of the current Hero Movie Craze of the past years.
And DC movies are ... an aqcuired taste.
Some nice movies here as well, wanted to add ones no one had mentioned before.
Super big hug to everyone! ;)
EDIT> TOTALLY LOVED RAMBO: LAST BLOOD! OMG Everyone here at the house enjoyed it so much! haha

I firmly believe more star wars is better than no star wars.
I even liked the prequel ones. I thought they were decent :D
And i met David Prowse so neenarrrrrr (he was a confused old man...it was awkward)

Rogue One is defaintely one of my faves (possibly of all time). A great example of how you dont need too much of "The force" in Star Wars to make a great star wars movie.

Well I must confess a large part of its appeal is that it's about a battle where the English and Welsh triumphed over the French, backed up by several media reports about how the film annoyed some prominent French people ;)

This decade has been great for superhero and sci-fi esque movies. It's also the rise of the streaming-series or specialty series (Netflix, HBOGO, Disney+, ect ect)
We had Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Dexter, and Breaking Bad all finish pretty amazing runs in the 2010's.
When was the last time debbie did something?
Moana was fantastic! I was absolutely blown away in the final scene where she sings across the water, I never thought a Disney cartoon movie could conjure such deep emotions in me.
00-09 was my favorite decade for movies...I could list 20-30+ amazing ones. The only other one that's coming to mind for me for 10-19 would be Django Unchained (12), Inception (12), and Shutter Island (10).

Flak? Not from me man! I LOOOOOVE them , but there are so many good movies out there.
The Whole Alien franchise is excellent for me, even the dodgy ones like AVP and related, but Prometheus is so good, some of the scenes are mind trips of their own.
Never mind the haters!

A loooong time ago, never quite liked the series, was more of a Taboo fan though, but yeah those vintage hairy classics are the best! :D

As a fun trivia, the rights to the movie belong now to the Public Domain haha.
