Collider presents a subjective ranking of outstanding American films released over the past 15 years, arguing that they reflect the country’s past, present and future. It also notes that defining an “American” film is increasingly complex because financing and production are often international.

– 10. ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ (2018): praised for centring Miles Morales, its comic-book-inspired animation and its broad message of heroism.
– 9. ‘Bridesmaids’ (2011): credited with revitalising mainstream female-led comedy and boosting the careers of Paul Feig, Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy.
– 8. ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ (2023): included in the ranking, though the supplied article text cuts off before its discussion.
