3. Parasite: The Party

Parasite is arguably the GREATEST film of the 2010s and it's one of those rare films where it's nearly impossible to find any flaws. Seriously, every second of this movie is rewarding and entertaining.

So, since it's the best movie of the decade, it naturally also has one of the greatest movie moments of the decade too. There are many genuinely perfect scenes in this movie, such as the mid-film twist, the fight over the phone, or the flood, but in the end it's got to go to the film's unreal climactic sequence.

The conflict between the various working class characters who are trying to use a wealthy family for their own ends comes to a head in a genuinely jaw-dropping, brutally violent, perversely entertaining and exceptionally sad outbreak of bloody violence at a young, rich boy's birthday party.

Every single aspect of this scene, both technical and narrative, is fantastically brilliant and this won't so much shock you as leave you staring open-mouthed at the screen in silent disbelief. If that isn't the mark of a masterful movie moment, what is?
