From Rotten Tomatoes, based on percentage of critics giving a positive review. After Black Swan I've added in some of the best rated movies from the IMDB in 2010 with at least 1000 votes.

And I'm bound to have missed out something awesome that I'm just too unhip to have seen. Fill me in in the comments.

if this by any chance means "light things so i can actually see the things that are meant to be spooky and dramatic", and/or "a gloomy plot element doesn't require the colours to be washed out", then +1.

It does indeed.

My impression was that it's not that the scenes had been lit badly - they looked like they probably contained full contrast and colour depth in the original - but that the subsequent "grading" (colour-correction, as it's sometimes known) process had been used to desaturate the hell out of them and push them toward an extremely shadowy tone, to the point that when I saw the first few scenes in the cinema I thought the print was knackered, rather than anything to do with the filmmaking itself.
