Your Top Ten Movies of 2010

it was probly in some theaters 2009 but it came out on bluray here a couple months ago

its defintely not a movie for everyone. such as if you have ADD dont watch it.

Animal Kingdom

Micmacs

The Kids Are All Right - some good lols

The Social Network

Enter the Void

True Grit - haven't seen this yet but I know it's gonna make the list

The King's Speech

White Material - Isabelle Huppert A+

Winter's Bone - was alright... couldn't think of anything else.

Worst movie year since...ever?

Excellent

None. I imagine Black Swan has potential as the best movie of the year, but it's not here until february. Are there any other contenders to Golden Globe/Oscar for movie of the year?

Good

Shutter Island

Kick-Ass

Decent

Tron

Inception

Machete

The Social Network, Armadillo and Black Swan coould be up there, but I haven't seen any of them.

Look at this list. At least ten movies of that list is better than any of the 2010 movies, IMO.

Black Swan is really good.

Shutter Island is really not.

That's right.

That flick was a hair away from being on my worst list.

I guessed the

ending from the preview. That didn't help any.

shutter island was really atmospheric!

aaaand that's about all.

so glad i didn't saw any trailers or previews

I watched Shutter Island with a friend on a sunday evening after two days of partying. The hangover might have contributed to the anxiety and the mindfuck, but I still think it's one of the best in a shitty year.

I watch like 3-4 films every day so it's hard for me to remember everything really. Need to think about it to make a list.

It's ok. I absolve you. Go along your merry way.

Thank you sweet Jefferoo, thank you! God bless.

Caught up on a few others I'd like to add to the list:

The Illusionist - probably my favorite film of the year... new animated film from Sylvain Chomet based an an un-filmed screenplay by Jacques Tati. The animated representation of Monsieur Hulot was perfect!

Life During Wartime - New Todd Solondz film, definitely my favorite from him. It was like a more cohesive, film literate version of Happiness.

hmm..seemed like watered down happiness to me, i guess he was going for something more refined but in the end it just missed the punch of happiness

animal kingdom felt too scripted and lifeless, the characters had too much contrast..stood out for me.

36 shot of rum was probably the most boring film i've ever seen but then huppert in piano teacher was probably the best performance i've ever seen, next in queue.

The more i think about it Black Swan is my favourite movie of the year.

what does that even mean?

too defined, not to say cartoonish but still kinda unnatural

some o these might be 2009 but i saw em in 2010

great

a prophet /un prophet (easily best new movie saw last year)

good

inception ( better second time. otherwise woulda made shit list + still dislike a lot of it.)

social network (only if the point was that social networking was invented by sociopaths. not sure about this?)

shutter island (fun 50's b movie style madness. the twist isnt that intresting)

okay

enter the void (went on too long but at least tried to do something different)

black swan (enjoyed while watching it but like it less in retrospect. edging towards shit list.)

trash humpers (deliberately shit and therefore okay)

shit

four lions (need to watch again so might be being harsh. too obvious + didnt think it was funny)

scott pilgrim (some fun moments but overall too annoying + for tha kidz. should of been a tv show)

kick ass (see above )

the road (horrible stage school brat + vigo mortenson's bum = bad movie)

cant think of anymore right now

I totally missed out on this in the theater and I'm still kicking myself.

Isn't it supposed to be a sequel to Happiness with a different cast?

Happiness one of my all time faves. I have to see this one.

1. the ghost writer

2. enter the void (technically 2009, but i think the US release is 2010)

3. the social network

4. carlos

5. animal kingdom

i didn't see much of anything that i liked this year.

noone mentioned avatar yet?

2009 buddy.

5. Shutter Island (For it's dream/flashback sequences)

4. Black Swan

3. Let Me In (Didn't see the original though)

2/1. The King's Speech (For the intense as fuck speech, and everything else.)

1/2. The Fighter

Fun Movies: Hot Tub Time Machine, Going the Distance, Machete.

Want to see Blue Valentine, and some other one my girlfriend keeps talking about with Aaron Eckhart. Just rented Kids are Alright. Never saw Enter The Void/Biutiful/Philip Morris/A couple others that didn't play in my local theaters. Also missed The Town.

True Grit was nothing special, Imo. Very dull. Not a thinker. Definitely not a No Country For Old Men.

I don't see the big deal with Toy Story 3. How to Train Your Dragon was better. Didn't see Despicable Me yet.
