The Best Films of 2010

Films are not meant to be listed, but we do it anyway. I have no problem with it, as I quite like them. Lists are easily digested, providing a great deal of information in a small amount of words. I think it’s important for critics to make year-end Top 10 lists, simply because they are then on record as to what they recommend from the past year in film. That said, they are an absolute headache to make, something I discovered as I compiled the list below. There are films I so desperately wanted in that would not fit, and, in all honesty, there are films towards the bottom of the Top 10 that were once at the top. After all the agony, blood, sweat, and long nights of crying myself to sleep while blasting “Everybody Hurts”, I give you the best films of the year.

In fact, if I choose to watch a movie it’s because it intrigues me, and I truly think I will be able to get some enjoyment out of it. Sadly, this was not always the case. Below, I give you the five films of 2010 which I found to be the least enjoyable.

None of these films will appear on my forthcoming "Best of the Year" post, and as such there are no masterpieces to be found here. Some of these films I don't even like very much. However, they all deserve a second chance on DVD, the chance with audiences they never got during their initial release. Here is the list, in alphabetical order:
