You can find my various "2010 in review" posts here. A film's letter grade does not alone determine where it ends up on my best and worst lists. Each film is judged individually without regard for how it compares to something else.List-making is an entirely different process that requires much blood, sweat and tears. Mostly tears.
Films are organized alphabetically within each grade.
