The list wasn’t a result of any consensus (to which the various annotations attest), and it certainly isn’t definitive. It’s more argument than science, too, which we proved over the course of a few mostly civil weeks of bickering and bantering over personal preferences, creating an appropriately chaotic point system for our ranking and then throwing that point system out the window - haphazardly moving things up, down, or off the top and bottom tiers entirely as we grew nearer to our deadline. Soon, we were permitting ourselves a few wild-card contenders, because list-making is more art than science. Of course, we’re critics, so we decided to allow any film included in one of our previous best-of-the-year lists to compete too. A movie released in less than four theaters could force its way into the mix, we determined, if it had been nominated for an industry award - from the Academy, the Directors Guild, the New York Film Critics Circle, etc.

But were we punishing smaller films simply because their distributors deemed them uncommercial? Cue the guilt, and the exceptions. That cut down the crop to something slightly more manageable. Perhaps arbitrarily, we decided that for a film to be eligible for our ranking, it had to have played in at least four theaters in the U.S. The sheer amount posed the first and biggest challenge of putting together this list: deciding which of the movies that filtered through theaters and VOD services and streaming platforms qualified for a ranking of the decade’s best films.

Netflix, which is likely to be competing with itself at the Oscars this year, was just starting to stream in Canada. Hypercool indie darlings Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were the coupled-up stars of a lucrative supernatural teen romance.
