A few notes:
- The primary purpose of this list is just to help organize my thoughts. It's not intended to be taken seriously.
- The ordering IS currently accurate, with #1 being my favorite film of the year thus far, and so forth.
- I reserve the right to completely alter the list (including relative orderings) by the time we get to our end-of-year top 10s.
2. How To Train Your Dragon
3. Mother
4. Fish Tank (Technically 2009, but i didn't see it until this year)
5. Inception
6. The Kids Are All Right
7. Shutter Island
8. Kick-Ass
9. Toy Story 3
10. Splice
Holy shit Chen! I've been dying to see Animal Kingdom but can't seem to find a local theatre playing it anywhere. Happy to hear it's good enough to place first on a top ten list.

August 8, 2010 at 2:14 PMNice choices. I really enjoyed Animal Kingdom - glad I saw it on a whim. Inception rocked. Glad to see Shutter Island getting some love. Have you seen Scott Pilgrim yet? That would definitely make my top ten so far.

August 8, 2010 at 2:32 PMMother quickly rose to the top of my list, but my #1 might still be A Prophet. Have you seen The Good, the Bad, the Weird? I highly recommend it.

There's a bunch on this list I still need to see. I can't even compose a decent top 10 yet... top 5 is hard.

August 19, 2010 at 10:00 AMI wouldn't hesitate to dump Kick Ass, Splice or Fish Tank for Winter's Bone, Art of the Steal, and/or The Square (didnt see release in US until 2010).
Otherwise pretty spot on.

September 9, 2010 at 11:55 AMGreat list! A lot of movies similar to my own list, but The Square and The Secret in Their Eyes should be there :)

September 10, 2010 at 8:24 AMDefinitely agree with 1, 3, 4, 5, & 7. Would add Winter's Bone for sure.
Has anyone seen Mr. Nobody? That's my #1 film so far this year and it will take something cataclysmic to knock it from that spot.
