The 2010s have drawn to a close and its time to take a look back at the previous decade. Today, we are continuing with movies, specifically the 836 films I saw between 2010 and 2019. Those 836 were released across 40 different years, with the earliest (Breakfast At Tiffany’s) released in 1961 and at least one film released every year of this century. 2010 was the most popular year, with 87 (10.4%) of the films I saw released that year.
929 actors starred in at least 1 movie that I saw over the past 10 years. Only 283 of those starred in at least 2. If you had told me that Jason Bateman would have led the field, I would not have believed it, but that does seem to be the case. Not a single person starred in a film that I saw every year of the decade, with Jennifer Lawrence coming the closest, with a streak of 9 years starting in 2011.
