My favourite films of the decade

If you know me, you'll know I'm categorically not a film person. Someone will quote a film or be talking about they favourite, and you can pretty much guarantee I won't have seen it - which is an endless source of frustration and amusement to my friends. However, I do try. There's been some decent films out between 2010 and the end of 2019 so I thought I'd tell you my favourite ones, as someone who struggles to sit still for 5 minutes but has actually watched all of these in their entirety.

2010

Shutter Island - bloody brilliant if a bit heavy.
How to Train Your Dragon - absolutely lovely and an easy watch.
Despicable Me - saw this 4 times in the cinema and loved it.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice - involves magic AND features Nicolas Cage.
Ramona & Beezus - gorgeous family movie. Tissues needed.
Charlie St. Cloud - again, tissues needed. So beautiful.
Easy A - an absolute classic, obviously.

2011

Paul - the best alien film there is.
