Cold winter nights were made for cinema, the kind of films you watch with something warm and don't move until the end. Action with substance, films where the spectacle serves the story rather than replacing it. From the 2010s, arguably the most diverse and globally rich decade in film history. Even with the sound off, these films would be worth watching, visually among the best ever made.
