Film in 2010

and here it is my list of Top Films in 2010. A bit late but was catching up with the last of the Oscar films and now I'm cool with my list

1. The Social Network: Best film of the year hands down
   
2. Animal Kingdom: The mother is the creepiest woman this year. Must see film from the land down under
3. Blue Valentine: Best Love story of the year
4. The Kids are Alright: Mark Ruffalo brings easy charm to his role of an interloper in this film - a family drama for today's day and age. Julianne Moore and Annette Bening are super believable as a married couple
   
5. Youth in Revolt: Thought this was the funniest film of the year. Micheal Cera is in top form
   
6. Udaan: The only Bollywood flick to make my list this year and what a well told story
   
7. Never Let me Go: Horror, Sci fiction, A love story. Tragic and Heart-breaking. Garfield is a star in the making
   
8. The Fighter: Bale and Wahlberg light up the screen in this very good family drama
   
9. Green Zone: Best war movie in ages and so well directed.
   
10. Kick-Ass: Why this uber cool violent film didn't do well in the cinemas is beyond me.
    
11. Despicable Me: Much better than Toy Story 3 and my pick for Best Animation
    
12. Scott Pilgrim vs The World: (Full disclosure) you have to be sufficiently high to enjoy this film. Without alcohol the film is a drag
    
13. The American: Scores highly because of the excellent cinematography
14. Easy A: Reinvents the American teen comedy. Emma Stone is easy on the eye
15. Black Swan: Natalie Portman shines in this tragic movie about a ballerina who actually 'eats'
    
16. True Grit: Bridges, Damon and Brolin make it look all so easy
17. Toy Story 3: Loved Lotso the mean teddy bear
18. The Heart breaker: French candy floss comedy but I like Romain Duris and he plays the title role with an easy going charm.
    
19. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - A twisted whodunit
    
20. Shutter Island - I wish I hadn't read the book earlier as it kind of ruined the whole experience and the end but oh well; still well made and well acted.
    

Yes, no Kings Speech and no 127 hours. I've started to hate films that are essentially weak but get critical acclaim for a strong author backed lead role (cue: Last King of Scotland, Capote, Milk). Best Actor for the year was Ryan Gosling and he wasn't even nominated. Best Actress is Natalie Portman.
