My Number 1 Favorite Film Of The Decade

Image result for best movies of thedecade 2010-2019

We have come to my favorite film of the decade!!
Surprisingly, my top choices differ from others but the top film here was at the top of some other critics top film of the decade (or the tens)....so...there is that!!!!!!!!

Which actor is in my top 20 the most?
That would be Domhnall Gleeson in 4 of the 20 films!
What was the best year for films of the decade? 2015!!
And now my top film................................................................


BROOKLYN (2015)
Directed by John Crowley
Screenplay by Nick Hornby
Based on the book by Colm Toibin
Starring Saoirse Ronan; Domhnall Gleeson; Emory Cohen; Jim Broadbent; and Julie Walters



An Irish immigrant (Ronan) lands in 1950s Brooklyn, where she quickly falls into a new romance. When her past catches up with her, however, she must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within.

Ronan as Ellis gives an Oscar worthy performance as a confident and brave yet scared Irish girl establishing a new life in Brooklyn. Ronan says so much by just a look.....just wonderful.
I love a good dinner table scene and in this film there are many highlighted by another Oscar worthy performance by Julie Walters who is hilarious as the house mother for all the girls.
Now the real stars in this film are Yves Belanger the cinematographer and Odile Dicks-Mireaux as the costume designer. This film looks beautiful, every seen is perfectly shot. The look almost steals the film away from the great acting and screenplay.
Acting....screenplay...look...altogether a wonderful film.  A must see romantic, beautiful film.

Nick Hornby!!! He can tell a story...Brooklyn...Wild...An Education...About A Boy. He is just great.

Many agree, Brooklyn is the best film of the decade!!!

From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
