Top 10 of 2010

After some disappointing years I must say 2010 has been mostly tremendous. Most of the widely heralded movies rang pretty empty for me--I'm looking at you The Social Network, Black Swan, Winter's Bone, etc--but once I dug deeper into the year I found some great works. So, without commentary here is my current top 10:


1. 127 Hours
2. Sweetgrass
3. True Grit
4. Catfish
5. Mother and Child
6. Shutter Island
7. A Prophet
8. Inception
9. Splice
10. Let Me In
