It might be that 15 years ago is right in that spot where things start to feel really dated but you don't quite feel nostalgic, but I genuinely think the early 2010s was a low point for film and I think I felt that way at the time too. Obviously some bangers in this list but these last couple posts were harder to come up with lists I can live with, even as I was watching and discovering some good stuff I hadn't seen before.
