00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the best movies of the
00:09last ten years that went under the radar, or don't get the attention they deserve.
00:17When he's not Bucky Barnes, Sebastian Stan wows an intriguing project like this one.
00:33Fans of the actor should definitely check out this inventive dramedy.
00:36His character Edward has a condition called neurofibromatosis, but an experimental procedure
00:41transforms him.
00:47Edward tries to start over, and then finds out he's subject of a play.
00:51The circuitous plot features hilarious twists and turns, with the hero pretending to be someone
00:56else and finding himself outwitted by a mysterious stranger.
01:00A different man finds Stan in top form, as a man trying to figure himself out and paying
01:04the price for it.
01:21Before their field gets torn down, a group of men play one last baseball game.
01:25There isn't one central hero to follow or any big drama to speak of, with the film focusing
01:30on the interpersonal relationships of these ordinary guys.
01:44You also get some amateur philosophy from people growing up and learning to move on.
01:49With a mix of humour and pathos, Ephus isn't just about baseball.
01:53You don't have to love sports to watch the climactic match-up, either.
01:56The unique personalities are entertaining on their own, with a cast of mostly unknowns charming
02:01their way through the story.
02:14What would an assassin do if they could possess people?
02:17This engaging premise serves as the template for Possessor.
02:20Director Brandon Cronenberg makes you uneasy and tense, watching Tassia Voss conduct her
02:25sci-fi operations.
02:27The cool technology and futuristic world don't distract you from a fantastic plot, either.
02:43As Voss journeys into the mind of Colin Tate, she struggles to maintain control over her subject.
02:48Cronenberg plays with this fun idea, while including real-world implications.
02:53Christopher Abbott deserves a special praise for playing a man possessed, blending two
02:56personalities together and trying desperately to fight back.
03:12In what could be described a low-key masterpiece, this film follows the easy-going life of Adam
03:18Driver's bus driver.
03:19The hero has a steady routine of work, writing poetry and walking his dog.
03:23He also spends time with his supportive girlfriend, not worrying much about tomorrow or everyday
03:28worries.
03:35Director Jim Jarmusch lets the quirky and casual atmosphere flow without pushing it too much.
03:40The filmmaker lets Driver give a laid-back performance, with some poetic words enhancing the overall
03:45experience.
03:46It's a movie that rejoices in the mundane aspects of life, without making things too dramatic.
04:07Don't let anybody tell you that Kristen Stewart is just Bella from Twilight.
04:10Her collaborations with French director Olivier Assayas are particularly strong.
04:15In Personal Shopper, the actress plays an American woman grieving in Paris.
04:25She collects clothes by day, while wondering about her dead brother.
04:29Assayas creates the perfect starring vehicle for Stewart's subdued work.
04:32You could call this a thriller or a horror film, but it's also an insightful look into a grounded
04:37ghost story.
04:38The filmmaker finds a way to examine a serious topic, all while keeping you on the edge of
04:42your seat.
04:57In this drama, a troubled writer somehow comes to interact with the dead.
05:00He also finds himself falling for his neighbour.
05:03Andrew Scott plays the lead man to perfection, giving the character Adam a three-dimensional
05:07angle to explore.
05:09The hero forms a screen romance with the hypnotic Harry, played by Paul Meskel.
05:19As both a romance and a fantasy, All of Us Strangers defies typical conventions.
05:24Based on the book Strangers, this trippy narrative sees what happens when you literally, and figuratively,
05:29film from the dead.
05:30It's both a heart-wrenching and philosophical examination of love.
05:34How's it about when you've got your favourite place in the whole bloody world?
05:38In a jarring and unsettling film, Joaquin Phoenix is a mercenary haunted by the past and present.
05:51He's then assigned to find a politician's kidnapped daughter.
05:54This includes some brutal violence, with the protagonist going to hell and back to complete
05:59his mission.
06:10Phoenix shows that he can do so much with his eyes or a stern look.
06:14The actor breaks your heart, playing a broken man fighting through the criminal underworld.
06:19The actor, Lynne Ramsey, does not have easy answers in You Are Never Really Here.
06:23Giving the audience plenty of questions, the filmmaker takes a minimal approach to a narrative
06:27about crime and mental anguish.
06:43The Payne family experience some paranormal happenings, but they aren't in an average ghost
06:48story.
06:49Presence shows the action from the spirit's point of view.
06:52Filmmaker Steven Soderbergh puts you right in the action, making you reconsider the horror
06:56genre altogether.
06:57There's also compelling work from the likes of Lucy Liu and Chris Sullivan.
07:04Written by Hollywood hitmaker David Keff, this plot shifts around your expectations, until
07:09a shocking ending.
07:11This is the perfect watch for people experiencing scary movie fatigue.

07:19lurking in your own home.

07:37The scheming Mikey Davies tries to schmooze his way through a string of old contacts.
07:42Simon Baker's movie could be considered a comedy, but it's not without its darker moments.
07:49The main character's behaviour is nothing short of despicable at times.
07:57Having said that, this entertaining train wreck is hard to look away from or deny.
08:01Simon Rex plays the anti-hero, that puts himself in increasingly bad situations.
08:06His compelling work heads up an odd plot full of awful decisions, toxic relationships and
08:11funny surprises.
