1. Toy Story 3 - just ludicrously emotional and the perfect goodbye to my generation's youth
2. Inception - brilliantly executed, great cast, great effect/action
3. Kick-Ass - amazing soundtrack, lots of laugh-out-loud moments, nice story.
4. The Social Network - quite tense, fast-paced despite its themes, very dark, great story.
5. The Kids Are All Right - great subjects, very 'Little Miss Sunshine' in its comical tackling of otherwise taboo and sensitive family issues. Great acting by Julianne Moore and Annette Benning
6. Black Swan - beautiful aesthetics, tense and creepy atmosphere and great acting by Natalie Portman. A little cliché (the jealous, pressuring mother; the unprofessional, womanising director; the prim and proper ballerina) but otherwise a great film.
7. Red - hilarious. Not enough Morgan Freeman, but more than plenty Helen Mirren :love:
8. Easy A - A little irritating and obnoxious to begin with but redeemed itself within half an hour and then some.
9. Machete - also hilarious. Lindsay Lohan and Robert De Niro's cameos make it - and the gore is more silly than offputting.
10. Iron Man 2 - great sequel. Good action, great cast, everything Transformers 2 wasn't.
11. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1) - pretty faithful to the book, emotional in all the right places and whilst my inner boy mourned some exclusions, it was generally testament.
12. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - I liked the abundance of video game references, and once it got into its stride it was very entertaining, but it took about half an hour for anything to happen.
13. Knight and Day - not as bad as I thought it would be - I like Cruise and Diaz, and the story was nice.
14. Salt - pleasant enough action film: lots of silly effects, Jolie looking fine, but a bit cliché.
15. The Sorcerer's Apprentice - took my little brother & niece to see it, and it was surprisingly good. Nicholas Cage has had a brilliant year. Nice story, good effects, bit corny but it's a Disney kids movie...
16. The Other Guys - I made the mistake of watching it on my own. Ferrell is his usual character - odd, eccentric, but lovable, and full of good quotes. Wahlberg is an interesting choice of comedy sidekick, and provides most of the laughs. Samuel L Jackson/The Rock's cameo = great. But otherwise it's lacking in pace.

Movies I've yet to get around to see:
Predators, Dinner For Schmucks, Shutter Island, Harry Brown

Movies yet to be released I'm dying to see:
Tron: Legacy, True Grit

14. Daybreakers, good vampire story.
15. Prince Of Persia, exciting.
16. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, very good.

19. Knight and Day, fun.
20. Toy Story 3, pretty good.
21. Karate Kid, very good.
22. Iron Man 2, liked it.

25. Despicable me, fun.
26. Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, was good enough.
27. Wall Street 2, confusing.
28. The Crazies, I forget what this was about, but I remeber liking it.
29. Clash of the Titans, wasn't too bad.
30. Take Him To The Greek, made me laugh.
31. Diary Of A Wimpy Kid, good.
32. Jonah Hex, ok.
33. Killer Inside Me, a very gross part in it.
34. Legion, could have been better.
35. Piranha 3D, funny.
36. Buried, I hate Ryan Renolds, glad he was burrried in a coffin.
37. Avatar The Last Airbender, another let down.
38. The Hole 3D, a lot creepier than I expected.
39. Tooth Fairy, lame.
40. Splice, weird and a bit lame.

That's all I can think of and there is about another 30 or so films I want to see before the year ends. But my fingers are tired so I'm not going to list them.

I was looking at this list http://teaser-trailer.com/movies-2010.html, some of the movies coming out look really good. I loved part one of 30 Days of Night, I hope part two is as good.

Oh, that was the vampire film with Josh Hartnett in Alaska, right? I really liked that.
I'm a newbie to downloading/streaming movies, 4 of those 10 I've seen were in my first week of illegality haha

Downloading is one of my fave passtimes :D but I do go to the cinema about twice a month.

And yea it was the one set in Alaska with the vampires.

Just the one's off the top of my head

Shutter Island 9.2 - Had to watch this film 3/4 times to fully understand what happened and even then there is no clear answer.. it's just what you choose to believe, Very well made film and Leonardo Dicaprio proves once again when he is the greatest actor around

Toy Story 3 8.5 - Just as good as the first 2 films i would probably say number 3 is just a bit better then 2 actually

Clash of the titans 7.9 - Very good remake.. did the original justice, some great fight scenes as well

Alice in Wonderland 6.2 - Was okay i suppose nothing special though.. The Cartoon version is a lot better though.. didn't like the girl who played Alice either

Nightmare On Elm Street 5.6 - Very average.. didn't really improve on the original at all, almost a copy

Piranha 3D 2.3 One of the worst films you are likely to see

Inception : Loved this film, made you think for a long time afterwards which can only be a good thing!
Going The Distance : Not a huge chick flick fan but I loved this one, it was very funny
How to train your Dragon : added bonus of having Gerard Butlers voice :joker:
The Social Network : I should dislike mark Zucherberg after this film but found myself admiring him
Grown ups : Love Adam Sandler, it is what it is
Twilight Eclipse : I usually don't like Twilight but this was definitely the best one so far
Alice in Wonderland 3D : Enjoyable, but think it would have been alot less enjoyable if it wasn't for the 3D
