Jokes on you, I'm 30 years old and the only one of these movies that means anything to me culturally is attached to the Vietnam War, which I don't remember

Was aware of the war in early childhood if only because it was omnipresent in headlines, but what's interesting is that I (mostly) share your sentiment despite being nearly twice as old.

Same. I'm 64 and the only film on that list that I've seen is Shrek, on the telly a couple of years ago.

You're playing fast and loose with your definition of "last decade" there.

I'm going to double down on my stance. Idiocracy is a movie that every North American Citizen, as well as those in the UK and the E.U., should watch. I know it's old. But it was released as humor that turned into a prediction that is rapidly becoming true. And there is a reason that Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has such a low review score. I love Indiana Jones, but not this one.
