I'll throw ten out there, no particular order:
1. Infinity War (2018)
2. Hostiles (2017)
3. Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
4. Logan (2017)
5. Sicario (2015)
6. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
7. Interstellar (2014)
8. Prisoners (2013)
9. Drive (2011)
10. Inception (2010)

Plenty of honorable mentions: Endgame, Spider-Verse, Dunkirk, GotG 1 and 2, Winter Soldier, Thor: Ragnarok (I think the MCU has plenty of solid picks), Sing Street, Rogue One, A Separation, Django, Looper, Argo, The Social Network, Inside Out, Wind River, 13 Hours, Lone Survivor, 12 Years a Slave, Us, Get Out, La La Land, Whiplash, FAR FAR too many to mention. Been a great decade for film, IMO.

IF I were to rank them, then
10. Inception
9. Blade Runner 2049
8. Prisoners
7. Logan
6. Infinity War
5. Drive
4. Interstellar
3. Sicario
2. Hostiles
1. Mad Max: Fury Road

I'm a little iffy on those last 4-5:
- Drive is a technical giant, and Gosling is great in it, but it is very low on substance; it's Winding Refn making style over substance better than any movie I can think of that I have seen in my life.
- Interstellar and Sicario could switch places, but even though the sequence with Emily Blunt and Jon Bernthal drags Sicario down and Interstellar is perhaps Nolan's best film IMO and is still the best theater going experience of my life (IMAX yes sirs and ma'ams), Brolin and especially Del Toro's performances are too strong and the El Past-to-Ciudad Jaurez-to-El Paso sequence is cinematography and tension at its finest.
- Sicario, Hostiles, and Mad Max: Sorry, the action-adventure nerd in me won. Mad Max is everything from a chase movie, action movie, social commentary drama, and nostalgia throwback all rolled into one, and George Miller's technical mastery with practical effects and stuntwork is second-to-none. Out of the three listed, I actually think Hostiles is the strongest film in terms of plot, acting (best performance of Bale's career and perhaps Rosamund Pike's as well - Gone Girl eat your heart out), and thematic material, but I enjoyed myself more during both Sicario and Mad Max. In conclusion, while Sicario and Hostiles are exceptional films, Mad Max is a film that is, in essence, an amalgamation of the reasons I still love going to the theater to see a movie till this day.

La La Land was the best imo.

Others off the top of my head that stand out are Manchester by the Sea, Birdman, Blade Runner 2049, Prisoners, Drive, Blue Jasmine, Inherent Vice and The Master.

I thought "Sinister" was a really quality horror film.

Interstellar has already been forgotten about since its release. As to say, it's an average film.
