This week on the InSession Film Podcast, the great Adam Kempenaar from Filmspotting joined us to discuss our Top 5 movies of the decade so far! 2020 and 2021 were obviously impacted heavily by the COVID pandemic, forcing Hollywood to make massive changes, but despite those challenges it still rendered some really great films. The big studios might still be reeling in some ways, but the last few years have been extremely rich for cinema and it made for a really fun exercise talking about the best movies we’ve seen over the last five years. With that said, what would be your Top 5?
