Because another decade has passed, we’ve handpicked 40 Hollywood movies that you can watch or rewatch over the weekends through 2020. Some of these movies received many recognitions and dubbed to be iconic, while some of them are flicks you probably haven’t seen yet. As for me, I haven’t seen about half of these recommendations.
So we can avoid predictability, we’re excluding Marvel Cinematic Universe movies (haha) because I feel that most of you would be bummed to see suggestions you’ve possibly watched already (and I think MCU movies won’t need my recommendation anymore).
To narrow down the selections, we’ve chosen 4 movies from 2019, all the way back to 2010 that garnered Rotten Tomatoes “Tomatometer” positive ratings between 85%-99%. Refer to the screenshot I took from their site that explains the significance of these movie ratings for you to understand why we’re basing them on this website.
As the writer of this article, I’m also putting a star (★) beside the movie titles to indicate that they’re my personal favorites.
