Getting the whole family to agree on a film is rare, these are the ones that genuinely work for everyone in the room. 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.
