In this classic cinematic snapshot, we see a future where the protagonists are able to transfer themselves to other people's dreams, purely by the search for information. Immediately, we are taken by fantastic visuals (a mix of practical and digital effects), an extraordinary score (by Hans Zimmer) and an impeccable narrative.

The stellar cast – who has partly participated in other features with the director of this one, Christopher Nolan – shows how the chemistry of a good casting can work well. The film features Leonardo DiCaprio, who will appear a few more times on our list.

The protagonist is played by (already awarded for the role) Joaquin Phoenix, who puts himself in the shoes of a man bored and oppressed by society, finding his only escape in violence.

A full plate for audiovisual fans, guided by a masterful performance. Success also came in numbers: Joker it was the first title R-Rated (the U.S. R-rated) to exceed $1 billion at the worldwide box office. With that, the film also reached the top 50 highest grossing in history.

O thriller from South Korean director Bong Joon Ho (from Okja e Express of Tomorrow) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or. In the sequence, it raised more than 120 million dollars around the world, even being shown in limited sessions - something unusual to happen with films of the type. All the tension created, the identification with the public and the social criticism not subtly addressed in Parasite made him a strong contender for Best Director and Best Picture at the Oscars – not to mention that he is already in the pre-nominated list.

The sequel to the “worst” (or maybe…best?) hook that made us carry despair and anguish for an entire year, from the previous one mentioned above, to finally have a conclusion on this one. It's like the climax of the climax. It is worth noting that Ultimatum is the film that raised the most money in the history of cinema, with US $ 2,5 billion around the world – beating other records along the way.

The film tells the story of a drummer (Miles Teller) who simply wants to be “the” best, while being helped by his music teacher with the toughness of a sports coach (JK Simmons, who won an Oscar for the role). It's a real psychological battle, one that brims with pressure on both sides.

Makoto Shinkai's animation is a version of the formula popularized by If I were you, where two protagonists of the opposite sex switch bodies. However, the execution in this film is fantastic. In a journey of self-discovery and respect for others, with humor and a dose of Japanese romance, we are presented with a beautiful lesson, which is suitable for both young people and adults.

In this adventure where the main Spider is not Peter Parker, we see a balance between a story with serious lessons and a punctually pleasant comedy. The narrative is enriched by breathtaking visuals – at least from fans of comics and/or traditional animation. Spiderverse also won the Oscar for best animation, breaking Disney's 6 consecutive wins.

Speaking Disney, we have this animation with a festive Mexican atmosphere, starring a boy who wants to be musician but it is forbidden by his relatives who want him to follow the family tradition and become a shoemaker. The boy is so inspired by his musical idol that, in a desperate (and illegal) act, he ends up in the netherworld. is winner of Oscar in the 2018 edition.

After being acquired by a bounty hunter, a slave gradually becomes one of his own. Bounty Hunter while guiding your buyer. On a mission of the duo, things start to go wrong in the style of Quentin Tarantino, the director of the feature, specialist in western and revenge-themed films – which fits well in the creative mix of genres we see in Django. Exaggerations are treated as comedy, prejudices as criticism and violence is a lot of fun.

third film of trilogy do Batman from director Christopher Nolan, resurfaces is the icing on the cake. The villain, played by the unrecognizable (in the best sense of the word) Tom Hardy, is menacing and understandable in just the right measure. Even without being as nominated as its predecessor, since Heath Ledger dominated the posthumous awards, the work manages to be a well done production and a conclusion satisfying, which is worth as much to fans of the seventh art as to fans of Batman.

Andy grows up and donates his toys to a daycare. The basic synopsis is this, but for millennials who grew up with the first films, the emotional charge can be quite high, as it is also difficult to say goodbye to these toys. The animation should also have been the perfect conclusion for the history of these characters – the 4th movie will never be forgiven – so much so that it won Oscar, in the 2011 edition.

For sure, Nick Nolte surprises in this film that he doesn't even star – the responsibility lies with Tom Hardy, his son in the film. O MMA drama unites two distant brothers in the race for a prize of 5 million dollars. The fun is precisely you choose which one to root for, as both have enough reasons to gain the viewer's empathy.

In Martin Scorsese's top-rated film (who also directed our 33rd place, The Irish), we have a corrupt and money-obsessed Leonardo DiCaprio, in an exquisite performance that resulted in the loss most unfair of an Oscar in all of history. The spectacular work with the cameras conveys all the spectacular director's vision, working each scene with mastery and making us understand the unique point of view of the characters in the scene.

Family fight for an inheritance that appears in a completely mysterious way: everyone is a suspect. The investigation of the event results in the best comedy of the genre (classic “detective film”), with performances by the stellar cast, consisting of Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Christopher Plummer, and Ana de Armas. The main highlight is original script, without a literary basis or dependence on another film – which was quite rare in the decade, especially when it comes to an Agatha Christie mystery.

in the words of eternal Wolverine Hugh Jackman, this is his last performance as the character. In contrast, it's the first time we've seen a Wolverine made for adults, as the US rating was R-Rated and the feature arrived here as “+16“. About the story: the protagonist, emotionally and physically shaken, needs to protect a girl for some reason but, before unraveling it, we see that she may be able to manage very well on her own.

A room is all a boy physically knows. He lives with his mother, as a result of her kidnapping, and believes the outside world is complete fantasy. Well, at least until the moment they get out of there and he needs to learn what is "the world". The work will make you cry and it will surprise you even if you know how beautiful the story is (and how much hyping was placed on it).
