TOP TEN FILMS OF 2010
The wait is over! Here is 'The List'! As in past years when I haven't seen enough (or enough good) foreign films to make separate lists, I have combined the two.
1. The Social Network -- no contest, the #1 movie of the year.
2. The King's Speech (UK) -- an admirable #2.
3. Toy Story 3 -- and I thought I had outgrown animated movies!
>>hey, the Oscars seem to have gotten it right, so far!
4. Un prophete (France 2009)
>>Okay, forget what I said about the Oscars; they completely blew last year's Best Foreign Film award by not giving it to this amazing and gritty film (or the other great film of last year, "The White Ribbon")
5. Black Swan
6. The Kids Are Alright
7. White Material (France 2010)
>>for some reason, even the Cesars (French Academy Awards) ignored this one!
8. True Grit
9. The Fighter
10. Inception
Honorable mention (aka "The Next Five"):
11. Red Riding Trilogy: Part One (UK) -- I don't care that this was a BBC miniseries; on the big screen, this installment was searing (thanks in no small part to the great chemistry between Andrew Garfield and Rebecca Hall).
12. Winter's Bone
13. The American -- I loved the pace of this movie!
14. I Am Love (Italy) -- Tilda Swinton in an Italian melodrama worthy of Visconti!
15. Shutter Island -- Marty & Leo, together again!
A solid list, I think (but there wasn't a lot of competition).
