Honorable Mentions for Other Top Films of 2010-2019

So I realized there were loads of films that had not made my original list and I wanted to do them justice. Some of the films I didn’t include because I wanted to promote other works that I considered absolute favorites, others I felt were very good but overhyped, and still others I hadn’t seen in time. That’s what happens when these companies don’t tailor their release schedules to my specific desires. Life is hard.
