- Birdman (2015) I might catch hell for this, but for me, Birdman is not only the best movie to win Best Picture in the past 10 years, but also the best American film in that time frame as well.
- Spotlight (2016) Spotlight is our All The President’s Men. But unlike All The President’s Men, it actually won Best Picture! It’s the true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered and covered (see what I did there?)
- 12 Years A Slave (2014) By far the hardest Best Picture winner on this list to watch, 12 Years A Slave is the true story of Solomon Northup (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor).
- Argo (2013) Ben Affleck was robbed. Based on a true story, Argo is about a CIA agent (played by Affleck, who also directed the film) who pretends to be a producer for a sci-fi flick in order to get six Americans out of Iran.

Despite being the second most recent Best Picture winner of the 2010s, Green Book is potentially the most forgettable. A safe, somewhat middling film, it tells a low-key story about a musician and his bodyguard/driver, and how they grow to appreciate each other and become friends and all that. Green Book is partly a biopic, and partly a dramedy, though it's not super successful at what it wants to do, however you want to define it. Saving Green Book to some extent is the acting. Mahershala Al...
Director: Tom Hooper
The first Best Picture winner of the decade is also one of the worst: The King's Speech. While not a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination, it takes a fairly ordinary historical story about a member of the UK's Royal Family needing to overcome a speech impediment while the UK seems to be on the brink of what would become World War II... and shows him overcoming a speech impediment, and then it ends. Maybe those with an attachment to the Royal Family or interest in this period of history...
Director: Michel Hazanavicius
The Artist was a film that made quite an impact upon release, won some awards, and then seemed to disappear. The Artist is a charming throwback to the silent film era, and an enjoyable blend of romance and dramedythat focuses on the last days of silent cinema as talkies came to dominate, and how it impacted a silent film star. It might not tackle the premise quite as well as somewhat comparable films like Sunset Boulevard or Singin' In The Rain, (and perhaps even the more recent Babylon, whic...
Director: Ben Affleck
Argo has been a little forgotten as the years have gone on, but it remains a solid watch. It takes an interesting premise about a real-life event where hostages were rescued by making them part of a fake film crew, and does enough with it to be a pretty good film. As far as movies directed by Ben Affleck go, it's one of the better ones for sure, and the man himself also gives a decent lead performance here (even if he's somewhat overshadowed by supporting players like Alan Arkin, John Goodman...
Director: Guillermo del Toro
Guillermo Del Toro's science-fiction/romance/drama-hybrid, The Shape of Water, is about an unusual and unexpected romance between a deaf woman and... well, a fish-man. It admittedly sounds ridiculous, but it's a testament to del Toro's skill as a director that it ends up an engrossing and emotionally affecting movie, provided you can get on board with the premise. And, even if it might sound a little confronting, it's outdone in the disturbing department by some other Guillermo del Toro films...
Director: Tom McCarthy
Spotlight tells the story of how a team of journalists uncovered systemic child abuse present in the Catholic Church, but the telling of the story is shockingly dull. Stellar work from an ensemble including the Oscar-nominated Rachel McAdams and Mark Ruffalofurther elevates this film, which won the 2016 Oscar for Best Picture. Spotlight is far from perfect; it's visually flat and slow-paced, not exactly looking or feeling any better than most TV that made waves in the 2010s. It's an undeniabl...
Director: Barry Jenkins
Barry Jenkins' Moonlight tells the story of Chiron, split into three distinct thirds, with the first focusing on his life as a child, the second with him as a teenager, and then the third as a young adult. It's a personal and moving film about finding one's identity and sexuality, and more broadly, about the challenges of growing up. It has an ambitious and fascinating structure, with the earlier parts of Moonlight feeling most like a well-made coming-of-age film, and then some of the later p...
Director: Steve McQueen
Steve McQueen's 2013 Best Picture winner 12 Years a Slave pulls very few punches compared to other Oscar winners that lighten or water down heavy content. In covering the true story of Solomon Northup's experience of being sold into slavery for 12 years, audiences are shown the true horrors of how slaves were treated in America during the 1800s. As far as biographical movies that have won Best Picture go (and there have been a fair few), 12 Years a Slaveis easily one of the best. But to show...
Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu
While this was made as superhero movies were really starting to dominate the box office, Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) certainly isn't one. It's pretty critical of them, really, in telling the story of one man who's best known for playing a superhero (early in his career) as he juggles his acting career, family, work colleagues, and personal demons. It can be a funny film at times, but there's also a sense of tension throughout, making it one of the less comfortable and perh...
Director: Bong Joon-Ho
The most recent of the 2010s winners is also easily the best. Bong Joon-Ho made several great genre-bending films before Parasite, but this stands as his best so far. An unpredictable, hilarious, and tragic film, the less said about its inventive premise the better, for anyone still yet to experience it. Its screenplay is simply too good to give away what happens within its narrative, because it's all perfectly paced and balanced tonally, and best experienced with as little knowledge beforeha...
