Top ten of 2010

[Spanks]

1) Louis C.K.: Hilarous (96) -- Not really a "film", I know, but still I find Louis C.K. to be the funniest man that has walked this planet. I could seriously listen to this guy talk for hours at a time and my score reflects my feelings towards his best stand up to date.

2) Black Swan (94) -- I've found there are quite a few Aronofsky haters on this site and say he ripped off "Perfect Blue", although I still found this to be a great film and there is no denying what a success it was.

3) Enter the Void (94) -- Still rethinking this. I thought it was incredible at first and told myself I would never watch it again, and currently after multiple viewings I'm considering it wasn't as good as I originally thought it to be.

4) Blue Valentine (92) -- Very depressing and uncomfortable film. Granted I have yet to see "Scenes from a Marriage", but I do enjoy Gosling quite a bit and Williams grew up in my hometown so I'm probably a little biased.

5) The Fighter (88) -- Just a hell of a movie. If every film had Christian Bale I doubt I would ever get sick of him and I thought this was his best performance since the legendary Patrick Bateman.

6) The Social Network (88) -- Fincher's best since "Fight Club". Highly entertaining and even motivational in a weird way, although the constant wit is a little annoying.

7) Never Let Me Go (84) -- Really enjoyed it, despite all the obvious flaws. Quite heartbreaking as well and the novel is an excellent read too.

8) Exit Through the Gift Shop (82) -- Banksy doing what he does best. It has such a meaningful message (through the satire) that it's hard not to laugh at the 'Space Invader' and 'Andre the Giant' guys. I thought I read a review on here where someone said they were "one step above gangbangers". I couldn't agree more.

9) Toy Story 3 (80) -- Does this one really need an explanation?

10) The Town (80) -- Surprise, Ben Affleck can write/direct a crime thriller that is pretty great in every way except the God awful ending. Definitely looking forward to his work in the future.

...And I know this is a "Top Ten" thread, but I figured I would mention some of my T3-T1 films that were highly received such as "Inception", "127 Hours", "The Kids are All Right", and "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World". Just not for me.

Hon. mention- Louis CK: Hilarious (I don't count it as a film, but it's terrific), Another Year (still haven't seen it, but I guarantee myself it would be in my top ten).

10) The Town (80) -- Surprise, Ben Affleck can write/direct a crime thriller that is pretty great in every way except the God awful ending. Definitely looking forward to his work in the future.

His earlier effort http://www.criticker.com/film/Gone_Baby_Gone/ was pretty decent.

I haven't seen "Gone Baby Gone" yet but have heard pretty good things about. It's definitely on my list.

[AAAutin]

My list:
"Black Swan" and "The Social Network" are two of the most overrated films ever. I liked them as much as I liked, say, "The Swich", and that is not good.
"127 Hours" was a bit better, but still far from exceptional.

Word.
