The Best Movies of the Decade (2010 - 2019)

By Festival Founder Jack Truman

The last decade has provided some great films. True, a majority of the films over the last 10 years have been duds. Many are crap. Over this last decade, there's been years of proof that putting a hundred million into a studio film results in a forgotton piece of shit. It's doesn't take much to make a great film. You just have to think outside the box and be independent in your way of thinking. That originality is what stands the test of time.

When a studio has the balls to put money behind an original idea, that's when rare magic happens in film. Otherwise, the independent artists has to go it alone.
