  • Favorite Movies of 2010

    It was a close battle between Inception and Social Network but Inception won out by a handful of votes. Though Inception was released in the summer, apparently it did something right to so resonate in audience's minds at the end of the year.

    I'm surprised Shutter Island didn't garner more votes but even I thought it was released last year since it came out so early this year in February. Some more surprises are True Grit placing at the bottom but it was released late in December. In comparison, Black Swan was released a couple of weeks before and ranks third. I imagine when the Academy nominations roll around True Grit will place higher. The biggest surprise of all is The Fighter receiving only one vote. I've heard lots of good things about it but apparently people don't love it enough to mark it as a favorite.

    It's heartening to see such a diverse list of movies at the top of the list with the blockbuster in Inception, the fall drama Social Network and indies like Winter's Bone. What stands out is that done deal members' favorite movies are both thought-provoking and entertaining.

    Thanks to all who voted!

    I missed a lot of good ones this year and am going to need to do some serious catching up on DVD.

    Here's what I saw and really enjoyed:


    TOY STORY 3
    INCEPTION
    SALT
    EDGE OF DARKNESS
    PREDATORS
    THE EXPENDABLES
    QUESTICLES -- It's about balls on a mission.

      127 Hours
      Inception
      Social Network
      The Other Guys
      Book of Eli
      The Crazies
      The Town

      And even though The Good, The Bad and The Weird was not released this year, it did hit the states a few months ago and this is the year I saw it, so I'm counting it.

          Winter's Bone
          The Social Network
          Inception

          Everyone who has not seen Winter's Bone yet needs to drop what they are doing and go watch it NOW. You can find it on Netflix. Utterly fantastic.

              You know when I saw the thread title I had to think what movies I had seen this year... honestly i couldn't remember any

              and after looking through those you've offered so far i see why... there's nothing 'stand out' there.

              No Matrix, no, country for old men, no kill bill (1), certainly no usual suspects or 7even, not even a big dumb actioner like ID or Armageddon. the closest we got was inception and by my lofty standards it failed to hit the mark

              Roll on 2011

                I haven't seen quite a few movies I've been meaning to, though. So I might have to add a few at some point.

                  can't believe I forgot about Shutter Island. goes to show how easy it is to forget the ones earlier in the year. heard good things about Easy A but not sure if it's really on my to see list. maybe it was the report in college about the scarlet letter i had to do.

                        ^sup ducky? lol. your profile pic is so dope.

                        anyway, I guess Inception and the Other Guys. The first 15 minutes of the Other Guys is one of the best laughs I've ever had in theater. The Rock and Samuel L definitely brought me joy.
