Best of the Decade

Is there one more year in the decade? I understand that millennia work that way. Decades feel more informal. Defined by that third digit instead of the fact there was no year 0. Wouldn't it be weird if someone considered Edward Scissorhands (1990) the best movie of the 80s? Besides if you extended into 1990, Robot Jox is the best movie of the 80s. So no, that was it for the decade that has no neat, collective term. Something we don't have to worry about again for 80 years.

Movies




















1. Black Dynamite
2. It Follows
3. Looper
4. Super
5. Blue Ruin

Now Black Dynamite is a problem since it had a limited release in October of 2009. But nowhere near me. So if it's important to you and you think Black Dynamite doesn't count, move everyone up one and put Contagion at number 5.




















Television




















1. Nathan For You
2. Community
3. Broad City
4. Difficult People
5. Patriot
6. Rick and Morty
7. Atlanta
8. Catastrophe

See you in the 20s!
