10 Most Rewatchable Films This Decade (So Far)
1. Mad Max: Fury Road
If The Raid pushed the envelope of hand to hand combat in action movies, Mad Max: Fury Road took the car chase concept to the extremes, delivering what is ostensibly a non-stop two hour chase featuring some of the most heart-stopping and daring vehicular stunts in cinema history.
It's the relentless attention to detail George Miller brought to the table with Fury Road which makes the film feel like a dozen shots of adrenaline being delivered consecutively to your system. Movies which spend this long in development hell (Fury Road was in pre-production as early as 1997) tend to fall apart at the seams by the time they crawl into theaters. But the latest Mad Max seems to have used the long gestation period to refine the film into a lean, mean beast.
There are plenty of cool action films which remain enjoyable on repeated viewings, but Mad Max: Fury Road transcended run-of-the-mill entertaining and became a work of art in its own right; as visually poetic as an extravagantly choreographed ballet. Fans can only hope that Miller's lawsuit against Warner Bros. is settled sooner rather than later, otherwise the sequel could be destined to follow in Fury Road's path and flounder in development hell.
