Today, I went on a world-wide-web journey. I read hundreds of End of Decade movie lists, covering everything from best and worst movies overall, by genre, by individual year, by running time, box-office gross, user-approval rating, guilty pleasure rating, underappreciated status, or biggest bust. And after scouring the web, I found the ten movies — the only ten, in fact — that weren’t mentioned in any decade-end list of any sort. It wasn’t easy, but I wanted to make sure that no film that came out between 2010 and 2019 wasn’t mentioned somewhere.

That’s what we’re here for: To fill in the gaps. So, we bring you The Ten Movies That No Has Mentioned on Any End of Decade List (aka, the Ten Most Forgettable Movies of the Decade). To qualify for the list, the movie 1) can’t show up on any 10 Best Or Worst movie of the Decade (or Biggest Flop); 2) it must have made at least $50 million at the box office, so it’s not like it’s an obscure title; and 3) I must have forgotten the title to each movie or confused it with another at least 3 times during the course of putting this piece together.
