Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010 film)

Yep, still don't why this doesn't get more love. One of only two films released this decade I saw in theaters more than once ("The Force Awakens" is the other), this is Edgar Wright at his best, packing an over-the-top comic romance with every visual trick in the book. He doesn't just emulate the aesthetics of comics and video games, he translates the tones and feel of flipping the page and beating that one level to the screen, and the result is one of the most visually dazzling comedies ever made. Paul Marketing somehow turned this into a bomb, naturally.
