It's The Guardian, so more of a list that defines their rather politically loaded view of the decade. Obviously that sort of bias is not unique to The Guardian, but I'd prefer a list that genuinely sheds light on the times we are in.

Have you found a better list?

Monoculture days are behind us and have been for the past decade, so that is going to be a very very long list.

In the context of this discussion, which is about an article for the British audience. How is what you just said not a racist doctrine?

The list has a clear agenda of promoting the suppression of British culture and oppessing British people and their voices... Unless they prioritise other races and demonise men.

Perhaps not an entirely fair comment... Is 'Gone Girl' a politically loaded choice?

Honest question, what do you mean by this? In your opinion, what is The Guardian’s bias / “politically loaded view of the decade”?

It is a particularly narrow and somewhat shallow list, even for the guardian.
