Best movies of 2010

[andrewducker]

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.

Sorry if you tried to fill this in in the 30 seconds it was visible before - I got the poll wrong and had to delete/repost.

Oh, and the only on there that was anywhere near to BAD was Shutter Island, which was overlong, but still mostly grabbed me. Inception is a "nice attempt, but didn't really work for me", but was still worthwhile enough to get a GOOD.

You forgot...

I am ashamed to admit that I have seen none of these.

-- Steve's cinematic 2010 was pretty much exclusively Netflix and DVDs.

haven't seen a one! I have to get out more. Of course it doesn't help that movies cost $10.

Bah to binary decisions! Toy Story 3 was alright, but it didn't really hold me like the first two. Whether I've grown up or it was just a bit mediocre I don't know. It's entirely possible having a cinema filled with chattering children affected it too.

"Best Worst Movie" springs to mind for movies not on that list. Think it was actually 2009 but it didn't really get seen anywhere other than at festivals until 2010.

I also really want to see "Enter The Void" and "Exit Through The Gift Shop" but haven't as of yet.

I should have seen the Illusionist.
"Black Swan" is to me more like a 2011 movie - it came out in the UK in January, and I'm planning on seeing it soon. The "not seen" on that means something different to the other "not seen"s

I need the 'have not seen the movie but read the book so will be irrationally smug' option on a couple of these.

Toy Story 3 was awesome, but then, I saw it on my birthday with only 3 other people in the entire cinema, and none of them talked during the movie, so it was like heaven.

Some of the "GOOD" ones are with caveats. For example The King's Speech, which was great apart from the scene with Stanley Baldwin's resignation which was totally MADE UP TOSH. But the rest was awesomegood.

I voted good for everything I have seen on the list, but some of those are, er, gooder than others. The Town was perfectly watchable thanks to a nice cast but nothing special. Scott Pilgrim was fun overall, but quite a few things didn't work all that well for me.

I know I have quite a film habit compared to many folks (7 at the cinema and 7 at home so far this month), but I am surprised so few people who have voted so far have seen 127 Hours and Black Swan. Although I was taken aback to watch the latter in a huge sold out opening night screening, as I hadn't thought it would have a very wide appeal. I really should dust off the LJ and actually write about what I watch as well as keeping a list.

Really looking forward to True Grit.

Inception would have been better with 1/10 the budget.

The Illusionist did justice both to Tati and the the creators of Triplets of Belleville. That is very high praise.

I have only very recently rediscovered Cinema [I've always loved film] and so am WAAAAY behind on this. 127 Hours, however, is the best thing I've seen in a very long time. I plan to watch Inception as soon as I can convince myself to buy the DVD. The gf has Scott Pilgrim, which will be viewed very soon. I can't remember whether I've seen Harry Potter. I have no [current] interest in any of the rest but have been reliably informed that all are good, if not brilliant.

Is it just me...

Or is Not Seen winning?

I feel like this post may have been designed to make us feel like we're not going to the cinema enough.
