One Perfect Shot Presents The 100 Most Beautiful Shots of the Decade

After some deep consideration and careful curation, we present to you a selection of shots that defined an era for us.

This is part of our Decade Rewind, which runs throughout November. Keep up as we look back at the best, worst, and otherwise interesting movies and shows of the 2010s.


For most of us, the end of the decade is a time of reflection. We’re older, (hopefully) wiser, and we’ve made plenty of memories along the way. Some of us have also spent a substantial portion of that time watching movies and TV shows, many of which have resonated with us on a deep and personal level.

We here at One Perfect Shot have spent the past several years capturing moments from film and television that have struck a chord with us, and we’re thrilled to have found a like-minded audience who appreciates our ethos. The shots we consider to be perfect are the ones that not only capture our attention but also enrich our souls. That sounds cheesy, but it’s true.

With this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of 100 shots that we consider to be this decade’s finest because of the aforementioned reasons. Obviously, we’ve left out some of your favorites, but we hope you enjoy our selection all the same.
